Danny

ohhhh danny, you shouldn't have...

those leaf reflections pictures are going to make everyone want silver. and once a person catches the silver bug there is no limit to the desire for silver. now you gone and done it.

a note about shipping...

mine came via us postal service. packaged in tubes 20 and the loose ones well wrapped and taped in foam packaging sheets. no damage or scratches whatsoever, nice.

i found i can put another 2 in the tube with the foam packing peanut still and get a tighter fit with more in one place. the rest of the loose ones i wonder if they will get scratched if i keep them loose but i have one in my car in a bag of good luck trinkets and the others i plan to bet or give away so it's not an issue for me. if this is something you are concerned about coins shops and online sell little clear square mylar envelopes for protecting individual silver coins. you can google it.

another note about packaging:

mine shippeed usps and arrived in a box about 2" x 2" x 10" long. sitting on my desk at work. the girls in the office were all smiling. i wonder if they thought i had ordered a, uhhhh, personal device. it is my understanding that a similar quantity shipped ups arrives in a square box of more modest dimenensions which may be more SFW. fair warning.

some people have wild imaginations apparently, but i had to fight down the urge to feel inadequate there for a second and i opened it in front of everybody so there was no doubts. don't be surprised if you get some new tsptalk silver fans out of that experience. shiny, clink clink. it is a magic sound.

You were the only one who got that box - only because I had not yet bought the smaller boxes the next batches were shipped in. The box in question is what NW Mint stuck 5 rolls of the coins in, but I see your problem. No one else should have that issue.

Thanks Tom,

I got mine couple days ago, my 19 years daughter love it and she kept in her room. Very shiny & I can use as a mirror.

I'm glad others are having the same reaction I had. It's not quite as elaborate as a liberty or presidential coin, but the shine is blinding.

How do you put a value on that, SWAVET? I wouldn't know if it was a good deal or not.

so according your list there tom, that is 372 coins to tsptalk members? and you were going to get 50 yourself, is that for personal or personal and business purposes? that would make 422 spoken for leaving 78 available for othere purchasers at spot +4? or are some of the remaining 78 earmarked for.official tsptalk purposes? how many of the original 500 are left available?
