Wow! So many great replies... thanks all!

Over 1000oz. Hopefully I can get 1/4 of that.
I'm sure that you will, CC1. Just keep buying those dips and add a few ounces here and there as you can. It all adds up and in not all that much time.
Oh, yeah... as to pics... sorry guys n gals but my hoard is split up in 3 places so it would be difficult to gather it up for a photo session. I have posted some pics as I built the hoard, though.

I knew you'd beat me, bud. And I had a 1 1/2 to 2 year head start! Still stuck at 930ish. I'll cross the finish line sometime in early to mid-2013, I hope. Guess it's time for you to start eying gold bullion, right?
Heh, well, Traevin, you are ahead of me because I had no idea which of us would get here first. Sometimes, a special deal or a price dip comes along and we just HAVE to add some to the hoard.

Nice time to pass as the mark hit the magic number today eh.... Congrats on a goal reached, job well done....
Thanks, Hawk. You played a role in all this too, you know? Reading your posts was one of the things that spurred me on... so, THANKS!

Hope it's safe and secure though.
Yes, I do as well, Ztt2. I have a safe and it is bolted down to a concrete slab as well as to the wall. I have also split the hoard 3 ways, with about 1/3 each in a CU SDB, my son's safe, and my own safe. Layered security is always good and so is distributing it to more than one place. Nothing is perfect, though, so we just have to do the best we can.

Hopefully silver prices go back to near $50 in the next 5-10 years. I'm slowly working my way up to 100oz
That would be nice or perhaps even higher. If not, then this will serve as a good way to stave off the effects of inflation. Cash has a way of shrinking with time but this should hold its value pretty well, given the fundamentals of silver in today's world.

Lucky you Ed. Happy for you. Your have a lot of nice silver from recalling some of your acquisitions!
Thanks, Angel. I appreciate the comments. I also take pleasure in the nice additions that others on here have for their collections. So many of the items photographed and posted here are just genuinely beautiful and collectible coins, bars, and rounds.

Congrats, Ed! Once the monster box of Silver Maples I bought last week arrives (should be today), I'll be joining you in the 1000 oz club.
Thanks, Barry. Your collection is really amazing. I have drooled over the monster boxes of ASEs and SMLs for some time now but haven't made a buy that big all at once. I usually buy the dips and add a few or a hundred ounces when I can. It's really strange. I have a very hard time spending money after so many years of building wealth. It just seems unnatural to be spending instead of collecting and building. With silver, though, it doesn't feel at all like spending. It's more like converting one kind of money into another kind.

Congrats Ed - it is a good feeling, isn't it?! ;-)
Thanks, Trip... indeed it is!

it's time to open a 1000oz club thread and post photos there
If I ever have it all together in the same place, I will be sure to get some photos. Doing that would make me kind of nervous, though. I like to keep it dispersed and locked up!
