If money was no object, how would you sort your stack?

[bluemoon]

I've been stacking for years (mostly silver AKA gold in waiting) but getting the order right for the long term will no doubt have different opinions. This is how I would do it, you may agree or you may not, the purpose of this thread is to bounce opinions and ideas around:

• 35% Sovereigns - liquid if you want some fiat to hand, treat it a bit like a saver's account
• 35% 1oz coins or coin sets - still liquid if needed, but stands as a savings stack more akin to an ISA that you leave for years before even thinking of selling them.
• 30% bullion bars of 100g-1KG+ - These form your untouchable pension pot or property stack that you only liquidate if you need it to buy a house  or some other major life investment.

If I could start again with hindsight I would try to get a stack looking like that along with more platinum and palladium amongst it. I already have more silver than is optimal, just waiting for the right time to switch them to the higher metals.

I'd buy the lowest premium available. So likely end up with a shed load of sovs.

Would mix in some PGMs as the markets dictated.

I'd be the opposite. If I had the money I wouldnt buy low premium, I'd buy the best coins money could buy. ie condition, rarity etc.

The only lowish preminum coins I'd buy would be tubes full of Sovereigns. I'd get bored of only having one type of coin.

I think I would have 25% in the lowest premium bullion sovereigns I could find.  As you say, easily to liquidate in units of £200 (ish).

I probably would have 50% in 1 oz gold bullion coins.  As I'm in the UK, these would be Britannias, Queen's Beasts and any other UK coins that took my fancy.  I'd buy them when they were newly or currently released and hope for (but not bank on) some premium appreciation as per the early Queen's Beasts so far.

The remaining 25% would go into the paper market, especially if I wanted to diversify into Silver and Platinum.  I'd currently go something like 60/40 Platinum to Silver for this proportion of the stack.

Money was no object I would sort my stack similar to this

Was going to post exactly same as @Abyss

I would buy a 400 oz gold bar to use as a door stop

This is what I'd stack:

- a few dozen tubes of Mexican 50 pesos coins

- a few hundred tubes each of pre-1933 US double Eagles, Eagles, half Eagles, Indian head quarter Eagles, 5 pesos coins, and 2 pesos coins.

- a few hundred tubes of 1/10 ounce newer gold Eagles.

- thousands of tubes of US 90% silver, in halves, quarters, and dimes, and at least a hundred tubes of Morgan dollars.

- a room full of 400 oz silver bars, with a sizeable pile of gold 400 oz bars.

Then my very nice and roomy house would have a lot of fine art, and a wonderful kitchen.

I would simply embark on a mission to buy one of every gold coin minted...

Touche everyone on the money is no object part. I was saying that to get a gauge on how you would organise your stack percentages ideally, within reason of course!
