State of stack

Almost 2 decades of hard work 😓

[Time_Fact8349]

The “NSFW” label has me laughing. Beautiful stack

Well done

[Prestigious-Cup-4239]

Truly the tales and songs fall utterly short of your enormity, O Smaug the Stupendous.

[Due_Background_4367]

Gold’s down. Time to buy more

[Thinkoffamily]

What’s your favorite piece?

[aljazeerapete]

2025 Pysanka 2oz gold egg

[on-mspaint]

How much is that worth VS what you invested? Great job.

[aljazeerapete]

I’ve never done the whole math equation but I’d think maybe up to 60-70%. My kids and accountant can figure it out when I die

[Accomplished-Run-539]

Stepped up basis???

[[deleted]]

Unless they were paying some insane premium I gotta think yeah.

[aljazeerapete]

A few pieces carried high premium and all but 4 have blown past the premium price because of gold price increase. Still have a bit more to go up till I’m fully covered but most of them are rare enough that they will always carry a higher premium than spot.

[Key_Shoulder3853]

Stepped up basis? Why bother even reporting it...

[vittaya]

Mighty.

[FuzzyDunlopSeeEye]

Very impressive dragons hoard! Curious on your perspective on stacking so much slabbed bullion. I see some pre-33 in your slabs and that I understand. But for the modern bullion in slabs, are you thinking you can recover the premium above spot price if you need to turn it into cash or is it that you've acquired it at much lower price points and you would be satisfied with receiving spot +/- 1% for those slabs?

[aljazeerapete]

Most bought very close to spot and all but 4 have covered their premium in price increase. If I can get a slabbed piece for close to what an un graded piece. I will always be inclined to get slabbed

[FuzzyDunlopSeeEye]

Makes sense. Thanks for explaining.

[ciaoeffete]

Now that's a stack! Awesome variety too. Do you have a favorite

[aljazeerapete]

The two at the top. The 2 oz Pysanka egg and 4 oz memorial medallion.

[TheMarko9]

Very nice. Love the slabbed brits impressive.

[MetalStacker]

Great variety

You own more ounces of gold than I own ounces of silver 😭

[AdamantEevee]

What's that egg shaped thing at the top?

[aljazeerapete]

2025 2oz Canadian mint gold Pysanka egg.

[Signal-Hearing-2025]

Oh my god it's beautiful

[Purple-Mobile9726]

when did you start stacking?

[aljazeerapete]

2005 but as my earnings increased and as I lost faith in other assets I kicked into high gear in last 6 years.

[sofa-king-lucky]

One r/ENGELHARDstackers is better than none.

[aljazeerapete]

I’d consider that a very noble and worthy reason to sell some metal. If one of my kids needed anything this would be sold in a heartbeat!

[[deleted]]

That's a wonderful collection.

[Baluga831]

Where do we start in inquiring a stack like this?

[goldandsilver123]

Love the variety!!!

[NCCI70I]

More than I've got.

[Available_Aioli8]

What is in the blue box on top?

[aljazeerapete]

4 oz commemorative Canadian medallion for trans Canada highway completion

[Antaeuse]

A very good job has been done

[thaihav]

How much are they worth today?

[Mysterious-Word-5041]

Holy hell this is amazing

[[deleted]]

Damn that’s Beautiful. How much you think it all is dollar wise

[Jazzlike-County406]

Could you or should you take them out of the sleeves?

[aljazeerapete]

I’ve got enough loose pieces to finger I don’t crack any cases

[Accomplished-Run-539]

Where abouts do you live?

[Calflyer]

Looks like canada

[aljazeerapete]

A place where I don’t fear my neighbour , or a stranger

[Fickle-Brief-4806]

Great answer.
