Thread: TSP Talk Silver Coins / "Rounds"

another thing i am going to do with one of my shiny new tsptalk silver coins is use it as a poker coin or card guard. you know, that marker you put on top of your hole cards to protect your hand so the dealer don't sweep them away when you're holding the nuts.

How's the order coming along? Any updates?

I have approved the mold, they've had all my money for about 2 weeks now, so now it's a matter of waiting. They have a reputation for being a little slow, but I think burro said we can expect a February delivery. I didn't want to bug them too much since I did that during the design phase but I should probably send them an email and ask for status updates.

Tom,

How much for 30? Err Sleeve plus 5 for a total of 30.

I may have to go back and check, but I think the way we decided to do it is, anyone who pre-ordered here, is getting it for my silver cost ($15.92) + $4 per coin.

After that it is spot price + $4 with a $16 min. silver price, so $20 min total per coin.

I'll have to see what we said about shipping. This thread got too long and I lost track.

Burro? ...Was shipping part of the $4?

yes. $20 total door to door.

spot ~16, +4 including shipping as follows:

2.00 each strike fee to mint it
0.50 each short order fee for less than 1,000 coins in batch
0.20 each insured from mint to tsptalk
1.30 each for packaging, labor, postage, and insurance to get it from tsptalk into everybody's hot grubby dirtly little silver hoarding hands

16 + 4 = $20 per ounce coin. i ordered 30. i will send a check for $600 when you say go.

private mint tubes come in quantities of 20 per tube. i am also ordering 30 ounces. i expect 1 virgin tube of 20 and 10 singles to play with and stack and drool on and give away.

Alright, count me in for one tube/sleeve (20) plus 5 for a total of 25. When and how do I pay Tom?

tom will tell when he gets them and collect money and ship. check or money order is good. paypal or credit card to tom costs 3-4% in fees so expect to pay more that way. $20 is net cash for tsptalk.

maybe mid february

another thing i am going to do one of my tsptalk silver coins is chop it into pieces. if it costs me 20 for 1 coin, then each quarter should be worth $5 bucks.

i just got delivered this weekend one of our xmas presents. it is a hatchet and knife hunting set for free (retail value $50) just for signing up for another year at rocky mountain elk foundation which only costs $35. that's like +$15 net and i was going to re-sign anyways because it helps me sleep better at night knowing i am helping those poor elks survive so i can shoot them and put them in the freezer later.

i haven't decided if i will use the hatchet or a knife as the silver cutting edge, but i am going to smack the heck out of it with the butt of my hunting rifle so that should work out pretty well i think as long as i unload it first.

remember, guns don't go off accidentally, only people do.
