1. I collect things other than gold and silver, so that won't end.

What an odd question.

I will collect less, and some items previously affordable are no longer so - I am reluctant to spend over AU$1000 (about US$700) on a single coin, so at current PM prices gold coins are effectively no longer an option for me - but I will still aim to collect as much as I can, on my budget.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

I will still collect modern gold commemoratives as they are issued (going to be painful this year).
I used to stack gold bullion coins (Eagles, Maple Leafs, Philharmonics, and 50 Pesos), but I began when gold was about $1,000 an ounce and ceased when it got up to around $1,800 because I astutely discerned that there was no way it could go much higher than that. Now they're all sitting in a safe deposit box that I visit maybe 3 or 4 times a year in a small room while I repeat to myself, "My precious...."

I am still buying morgans but getting better date coins that don't look like the price of silver has effected them much.
I likely won't buy common dates again for a while unless its a conditional rarity.

Won't be long and the only affordable coins will be copper and nickel.

I recently cut back, and about a month ago stopped buying and actually sold off 75 ounces. I'll wait till the market goes down before I get back in.

Good question, I was never a gold stacker. I could not afford it. I have slowed on stacking silver. I buy when I see a deal that fits my budget. Those deals have slowed in the last few months. But I will keep buying within my budget. I am more focused on completing my collections.
