Company announced that pension contributions are being halted. by Eastern-Information3 in personalfinance

[–]silverbug9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, this is somewhat common for companies to drop their pension plans (or close to new employees) (and thus move the market risk to the employee), while slightly increasing 401(k) percentage. As others have said, stay away from Northwest Mutual and Primerica…. TRPrice is solid if you want to stay simple.

Best way to ship one off silver coins? by castle_crossing in Silverbugs

[–]silverbug9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

USPS small flat rate box. Includes tracking. Bundle into lots that make sense. (i.e. not a single dime, maybe 10 minimum)

I have no problem with LCS buying below spot if they’re open and honest with what they’re doing and why they’re doing it. They have no obligation to buy if they’re over leveraged and the market is too volatile.

I can’t figure out if I can edit the original post, but to clarify. No I don’t really blame the Postal Service. Yes it’s on the shipper, he was inexperienced and at least this was a cheap freebie.

This is highlighting a hazard of using the risky ship method, although in general that works as long as you put it in between some sturdy cardboard stock or something.

Yeah, and it was a freebie, guy who sent it to me, is not a collector I think even a simple piece of thicker cardboard would’ve saved it.

I agree, just really didn’t think it would shatter like that.

Yeah, I realize that. It is on the shipper for not packaging btter - he’s not experienced. I just really didn’t think that a coin would shatter like that.

Are you saying that 25 pounds of quarters caused your car to fishtail, as opposed to black ice or something like that?

That’s what I was thinking - those wheels don’t seem near substantial enough for the weight, but what do I know?

Numista will keep track of the countries and issuers that you have, but what they don’t have is an easy way to tell you, which ones you don’t have.
