I took yesterday off to help out a buddy, so I decided to visit my local coin store afterward. They're normally closing by the time I get off work, and trying to navigate lunch hour traffic to get to them during the week is a nightmare, so that usually only leaves Saturdays. With two kids, of course, Saturdays are typically busy, so I usually end up not being able to go at all. This time, I made it a priority.
With silver pushing almost $34/ounce, I wasn't surprised to see they had a decent silver selection. Likewise, since gold had recently been enjoying new highs over $3500/ounce, people have been selling their gold as well. With the cost of everything still up, it makes sense.
I always forget they only charge $1 over spot for silver. That's even lower than my online dealer, and I don't have to pay shipping. I'll be making it a point to come back on Saturdays and bring my two boys so they can pick out some coins.
My youngest son has started playing with some of the random coins I have on display on my nightstand, so I figured I would redirect that interest to coins of his own. I did pick up some new pieces for the Secret Silver Fondle Stash that I'll be sharing in upcoming posts.
I couldn't just get something for myself, so I grabbed four silver quarters for the boys. Chaos would break out if they had to share, and I'm sure there would be complaints if they "only got one."
My youngest son was super happy and proceeded to play with the coins in the living room. I'm certain he left them somewhere, and we'll come across them later while picking up toys. My oldest son was disappointed it wasn't a new toy since he's obsessed with toys right now. So, two quarters are still sitting on my nightstand in case he changes his mind. If he still doesn't want them, they'll go in the secret stash.
Stay tuned for more posts of the interesting pieces I got!
