I've been stacking for quite some time now and over the years I've accumulated some very exceptional pieces.
But of all of the junk, rounds, slabs, and mint pieces I have, ONE COIN stands head and shoulders above the rest as my favorite piece. It is the 2008 Australian Lunar 1 Kilo Year of the Rat silver bullion coin!
Look at the size of that thing!!! I love it so much, I won't even hold it without wearing gloves!
I don't think there is anything that will make me part with it.
How about you? What is that one item in your stack that you favor above the rest!!
STACK ON!!!

I love the 5oz Perth Mint lunar coins. Fave is probably the 2005 rooster- it's a better design than this year's. I also like the ox and the snake from series 2. They'll be tough to part with.
I really love the Mint series coins. It's a shame the US Mint can't be that creative with Silver and Gold coins.
Hello sirstacksalot, good to see you on Steemit. Just joined today and did my introduce myself page. Stop by and follow if you like @silverwings. I agree with you. I wish the US Mint would be more creative and come out with different designs. I just heard that sales on the Eagles have been declining. I think it would help them if they could come up with more designs and learn a little from the Perth Mint. Just sayin'.
My Lunar 1 year of the pig 1 oz. I don't have the funds right now to buy a kilo from that serie.
That's a monster. I have 1kg, year of the snake coin, but I'm not a big fan of it. I don't like snakes and 2013 doesn't really have anything special for me.
My favorite has got to be this wood-poured maple leaf bar.
Beautiful piece. I could get used to looking at something like that on my desk!
Hi sirstacksalot I like that big coin. One of my favorites, isn't a coin at all... It's a solid 14 K 21 jewel watch from 1884, keeping time like a champ. I bought this thing at a local gun show, being a sucker for watches and gold, it seemed like the right thing to do, at the time, then the regret....
Wait, I paid how much for a 58 gram watch, with maybe 28 grams of 14 K gold! that's only 16.something grams of 999 gold!....
Hindsight for you hey, I think I only paid about $300 cdn for it. looking back, I sure wish I'd have stacked a little more shiny yellow or shiny silver! even if I was over paying at the time, but I could have probably got a lot more gold in bar form for that price ;)
Thanks for your post, I hope others post some of their favorites.

Thanks for the share. I think it looks great! You have to have a few pieces that you just love to look at, that's what makes it worthwhile.
Take my rat coin for instance, the premiums on 1 Kilo coins are absolutely crazy.......yet I had to have it!
Stackers will go round-and-round as to what the best investment is (rounds, mint coins, numismatic, junk, etc). In the end, you have to have a piece or two that you just like to look at!
STACK ON!!!
Stacking is just like life, it comes down to your personal choice. I know that when I tried to sell some high premium stuff, it was put on a scale with the regular bullion. If you have a few pieces that will never go on a scale (at least while you're alive) thats OK. For me now, I buy the cheapest bullion I can find, or deals like I recently posted on 2 more watches, but they aren't solid gold, so they don't fit into the stack at all. They go in the quick flip pile.
I would love a kilo coin, that is a very nice coin you have there. I have added them baskets before but always chicken out and buys 1 ozers. Every nice :)
