Americans are embracing the life of silver "stacker" — someone who hoards the metal as an investment.
📈 State of play: Silver prices have soared in 2025 to their highest level in more than a decade.
🍴As a result, people are "flocking to coin shops, metals dealers and jewelers to cash in coins, silverware and bars," while others are buying it up and socking it away, WSJ reported.
Zoom in: "Andrei Hnedchyk, owner of Honest Coin Shop in Union City, N.J., said traffic is up about 20%, mainly from silver 'stackers,' or people who are hoarding the precious metal to hedge against economic uncertainty," WSJ reported.
