I can't vote, but my folder has holes for 4 Ike I currently do not own and would love to fill those holes. There isn't really an option for that in the poll.

Not sure what level stacking is.
I have around three rolls of 40% Ike's, maybe another 50
blue Ike's.
Between 500 and 600 clad Ike's.
And a complete Ike Dansc.
So not sure if I am at the stacking level ....
But I do know I want more

Stacking is anyone who is buying and hoarding.. they dont care about how they look just that they are silver

I'm not really stacking them per se but I can't resist buying nice specimens.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

I choose both, but not for stacking... I like silver ikes, silver proofs are my favorite but silver "business" strikes are fine as well.

A lot of these have been getting melted the last few years.
If silver goes back up now these will be near the front of the line of coins being destroyed. Their price is unlikely to respond to increased silver values but there are lots of these built up in dealer stock right now.
At anywhere near melt value they have to be among the best of long term holds.

Mostly numismatic here, though I keep every 40% I come across.

Collecting, yes. Stacking, no.  |

I guess I am stacking regular Ike, or basically all Ike I can find then. Just something about a coin that doesn't look like some board game token or arcade token. The larger coins just scream "Here I am!" and you know if you happen to drop one on the floor...or your unshod foot.  |

Okay... Who's the wise guy who doesn't know who Ike is? |

those views could easily be Google caching the page daily or upon request since there isn't a norobots applied to CCF, or it could be people wanting to sell things and just checking what people are collecting so they know what to raise prices of.
Supply and Demand at work. You know, he who has the supply gets to demand what they want for it.
Still, none of the options apply to me so I cannot vote.
