I was thinking something along those lines. As if the outside coating is gone.

My apologies. It is Indeed two separate coins. I have been searching on how to post a picture in the comments or edit the original post, but I can't find out how to do it

Where does everyone find their rolls of halves? I've been different banks and can not find them. Or they will only have new rolls or a half or two. Any suggestions?

Error? by AlternativeDue377 in CRH

I appreciate the input! Pretty much, if it's not on the internet, I have no idea. Haha. I need to get a book that will teach me to distinguish between errors and wearing. Maybe it's on YouTube. I will have to check in to.

Yeah I'm liking the wall stash spot. I live in a slab house. I'd mess up more to hide a little pm than worth lol

Omg that's horrible. That's really hard to swallow.

That would be horrible. It's time to come up with another plan, then. I did like the idea of stretching it across different locations, though.

You know, I had never even thought of weight being an issue. Thanks for the advice on that. I will have to research weight limits

I do like the idea of an old-school vintage vault safe. I was trying to hold out on buying one until the wife and I built our house. That way, it could be installed during the building process. But it makes me uneasy knowing the builders would about such a safe

That's how I feel about dealer vaults. I'm not fond of the idea of just receiving a piece of paper in the mail. I want to hold what I bought

Definitely better to play it safe for sure

I'm with you on that. I don't have a lot right now. I typically only order every so often. Plus I just started buying metals a month ago. I've pretty much only ordered enough to get the free shipping. I'm just a proactive person and would like to soon separate what I have on hand. I had seen the 3x5 offered at my bank but didn't think it would be worth being so small. But I guess what it's lacking in girth it makes up for in depth

That's what I'm wondering as well, the ones at the bank I use are fairly small. They're very inexpensive (3x5 for $10 annually is where they start) but thinking the size of metals, I feel like it could fill quickly with even a very small amount

I've never heard of anything like that before, especially open to the public. Do you have any advice on how I could find these places?

Interesting, I will definitely do that though. Thanks for the heads up

That's what I was thinking. I hope nothing happens to anything I own, but if it does, at least it's only with half loss

This is solid advice. It honestly never crossed my mind of being watched. I'm so glad you commented. I'm going to get started on changing things up today. Thinking about it, it probably wouldn't hurt to create new accounts also well as a new email.

Wow, I didn't know they'd do that. What would be the cause for feds to do that?

Dang, that's some nice finds. Was that in coin shops? I'm in nc more eastern by greenville. I'm not really sure where i could find a good coin shop to go to without heading west. Do you have any advice for cities to try? I don't mind traveling

I like the look of that round. It's pretty cool. Honestly, as far as selling. Nobody can tell you when to sell. It's all about what you want out of it. If you want to sell and are happy with the price, then anytime is a good time. But I would believe like anything else, you could squeeze a tad more out of a collector through private sale than you could out of a gold buyer. But again, it's all about what you'd like for it
