From micron-level tolerances to bold patriotic design—how Scottsdale Mint redefined the 1 oz silver round for collectors and stackers alike.
Inside the Stack: Exclusive Look at the Revolutionary 1 oz Eagle Stacker Round with Scottsdale Mint CEO Josh Phair
Last night, silver stackers, collectors, and bullion enthusiasts from across the globe tuned in to a special YouTube Live event with Scottsdale Mint Owner and CEO, Josh Phair. It wasn’t just another live stream—it was a behind-the-scenes look at the future of stackable silver. Together, we dove deep into the newest innovation in silver bullion: the Scottsdale Stacker 1 oz Eagle Stacker Round—a true game-changer in the stacking community.
This wasn’t a marketing pitch. It was an honest conversation about engineering challenges, artistic intention, and what it takes to push the boundaries of what’s possible in modern bullion design.
A Decade of Stacking Innovation
Scottsdale Mint has long been recognized for innovation in the bullion world. Ever since the Lion Stacker burst onto the scene over a decade ago, the brand has set the standard for high-relief, stackable silver. The Lion Stacker’s interlocking concave/convex design quickly made it a favorite among collectors and silver stackers alike—equal parts elegant and functional.
But while the Lion Stacker dominated the larger-weight categories like 2 oz and 5 oz, there was one frontier left unexplored: 1 oz stackable rounds.
Engineering the Impossible: The Scottsdale stacker 1 oz Eagle Stacker Round
This is where the story gets interesting.
Bringing stackability to a 1 oz round might sound simple—but in practice, it’s a massive technical feat. As Phair explained during our livestream,
“Doing something with this type of relief at only 1 oz is incredibly difficult. You’re pushing silver to its limits—getting enough detail without tearing the metal. But we were determined to make it work.”
And they did.
The 1 oz Eagle Stacker Round marks the first time Scottsdale Mint has delivered an interlocking design at this compact size. Its micron-precise tolerances, high-relief eagle bust, and seamless stacking system are nothing short of engineering artistry.
These silver rounds are struck with intense force to sculpt both the convex obverse and concave reverse—features that allow them to “click” into place with one another. The result is a stack that’s tight, tidy, and incredibly satisfying to build.
Sculptural Silver: A Modern Classic in the Making
Visually, the Eagle Stacker Round stands in its own league. The obverse features a helmeted American eagle, bold and confrontational, rendered in near-sculptural high relief. This front-facing eagle isn’t just symbolic—it’s a visual statement of strength, sovereignty, and American pride.
The reverse is minimalist, functional, and beautiful in its simplicity: ".999 Fine Silver," "1 Troy Ounce," and the year “2025.” A mirror-like background creates contrast against the frosted text and interlocking rim.
This is not just silver. This is art you can hold—and stack.
“This Is Silver You Don’t Want to Sell”
That’s how Phair put it—and it resonated with the thousands who watched live.
While collectors will be drawn to the craftsmanship and striking design, stackers will love the practicality. These rounds are still bullion—priced accessibly, easy to store, and perfect for building wealth in precious metal. In fact, many will find the Eagle Stacker more cost-effective than traditional government-issued coins.
But more than that, this is silver you want to hold. You want to gift it, show it off, and pass it down.
A Buzz in the Community
Since the launch, forums, YouTube channels, and silver stacking subreddits have been buzzing with excitement. Enthusiasts aren’t just talking about price or purity. They’re raving about the tactile feel of stacking the rounds, the tight click as one locks into the next, and the refreshing originality of the design.
One user on Reddit called it “the most satisfying round to stack since the original Lion.”
And with good reason. The 1 oz Eagle Stacker is a rare convergence of form, function, and innovation—a first in the bullion world that feels genuinely new.
Available in Multiple Sizes—But the 1 oz Stands Tall
The Eagle Stacker - Scottsdale Stacker Series is available in 1 oz, 2 oz, and 5 oz weights, all of which interlock with one another—a feat of design that adds yet another layer of versatility to the collection. But it’s the 1 oz round that’s drawing the most attention, precisely because of its breakthrough status.
To get interlocking functionality in such a small format is not only impressive—it’s a signal to the industry that innovation is still alive in bullion.
A Word from the Scottsdale Mint
During our livestream, Phair made it clear: this isn’t a one-off project. “We’re just getting started,” he said. “We love challenging the norms and giving stackers something that’s both useful and beautiful.”
In other words: expect more from Scottsdale Mint. But for now, the 1 oz Eagle Stacker Round is the star—and it’s redefining what we expect from silver rounds.
Final Thoughts: Not Just Silver—A Statement
In a sea of silver bullion products that often blur together, the 1 oz Eagle Stacker Round stands apart. It’s an engineering achievement, a design triumph, and a functional upgrade to the way we store and appreciate silver.
For collectors, it’s a modern classic in the making.
For silver stackers, it’s smart, stackable, and secure.
For silver lovers, it’s something you’ll want to show off again and again.
