Thread: TSP Talk Silver Coins / "Rounds"

another thing i'm going to do with tsptalk silver is get some industrial strength construction epoxy and glue a coin down on the sidewalk near the entrance of a federal office building.

for every 20 penny pinchers that stoop down and try to pick it up, i hope 1 of them reads the 'tsptalk.com' logo and logs on and finds something that enhances their financial freedom.

Burrocrat, is it to late to get on board the TSP silver train?. If not, im interested...

it's never too late to buy tsptalk silver! just say how many ounces you want and add yourself to the list. it is an advance purchase list reserving the right to buy that many coins at original spot price + $4 when they become available.

that is going to take some time as somebody has to manufacture the dies, schedule a short run of custom minting in along with regular minting schedule, pack them with love, and pray over them so some postal weenie doesn't steal them en route. i'm guessing mid-febraury is a good delivery estimate. you don't have to pay until tsptalk actually has them ready to ship.

welcome aboard!

also i am going to take my tsptalk silver coin geocaching. it's like a treasure hunt except you use satellites to tell you where to dig. then when you find the stash you take one leave one. like a trade.

i'm going to leave a little sticky note on it 'please take pictures of this coin wherever you take it. and leave it for the next explorer'. some geocache nuggets have their own facebook pages to track their travels.

One is going on my desk at work to hopefully bring up conversation about tsp and this site. I might give one or two away as gifts to friends that also invest in tsp. The rest will probably go in my safe.

after you see these coins you are going to need a bigger safe.

do you own silver? it is very addicting.

another thing i am going to do with one of my tsptalk silver coins is use it to settle arguements.

whenever someone asks me a stupid question like 'do you think it is going to snow today', i'm going to pull it out of my pocket and say 'ahh hell it's after october and before april what do you think, call it in the air, heads or tails?'

then i'm going flip it up in the air and watch it spin in all its shiny glory and catch it in my palm and show it to them and try to sneak in a word or two about retirement investing.

Burrocrat,, Count me in for 20 oz/coins...where can I find that list to sign up...

actually, the private mint sleeves are 20 coins/ounces each. i believe only the u.s. eagles and maybe canada leafs come in 25 each tubes.

this was confirmed by the mint during design/quote phases. maybe tom can confirm and update us where he's at on it. they final design was submitted last friday, i'm unaware if an updated graphic has been provided or status of order on the dies. regardless it is going to take some time to manufacture them and then get the production run scheduled and accomplished.
