Silver stacking for the long haul - anyone else?

I've been on a solid silver stacking journey for a few years now, and frankly, it's been a ride. Initially, my focus for my precious metals allocation was heavily skewed towards gold – I'm talking probably 80/20 gold to silver, maybe even 90/10. As a doctor in my late 40s with a pretty decent chunk of change invested (somewhere in that $700k range for my overall portfolio), I always saw gold as the ultimate, unshakeable bedrock, especially living in a city like Boston where real estate prices are just insane and diversification feels more critical than ever. However, over the past couple of years, I've really shifted my perspective on silver and have been actively trying to bring that ratio closer to 60/40, or even 50/50 if the right opportunities present themselves.

My strategy for silver is pretty straightforward: I'm primarily accumulating physical, recognized bullion – Eagles, Maples, and some generic rounds from reputable dealers. I prefer the tangible aspect, and honestly, the thought of holding something so valuable outside the typical financial system really appeals to me. I've been dollar-cost averaging every few months, usually picking up 50-100 ounces at a time, depending on how the market looks. Watching the price dips and then grabbing more has become almost a hobby, albeit a profitable one (or so I hope!). It feels good to know I'm not just sitting on cash or relying solely on the stock market, especially with all the economic uncertainty floating around.

I'm curious to hear how others here are approaching their silver stacking. Are you focusing more on numismatics or sticking to bullion like me? What's your target gold-to-silver ratio? I've been debating whether to explore some of the more "collectible" silver pieces, but my gut tells me to stick to pure weight and intrinsic value for now. And for those of you who've been at this longer, have you ever significantly pared down your silver holdings, or is it mostly a one-way accumulation for you too? Any pitfalls I should be watching out for beyond the obvious storage and security concerns?
