RE: COIN SHOP VISIT - FIVE DOLLARS AS TEN HALF DOLLARS - 20180616
I have been frequenting the same shop the last few times because I've been buying the silverware. That's a cheap way to add more weight to the stack, but it doesn't go in the same place as the coins and rounds, so it doesn't really feel like I'm adding to it. I need to get back to the other shop that's cheaper for 90%ers and get more of those. That feels like adding.
The shop where I get my 90%ers also has better prices on rounds and coins, so I want to get more random rounds. Unfortunately they don't normally have as good of a selection, so I get stuck with the same old ones. I like getting the lower price, but it's the new coins that keep the Stakitus at bay. I just have to keep working the fine line between the two.
Stack, Stack, and then Stack some more to keep Stakitus at bay. I haven't started with silverware. I look at garage sales and other places, but I never get lucky. I never looked for it at the coin shops. Maybe I'll take a look next time. Cheers
That's it! I've looked at garage sales too, but it's hit or miss. Most coins shops don't have silverwear for sale. They may buy it and then sell it directly to the melters, but not put it out for sale to the general public because it takes up room. The shop I found it has all sorts of random stuff, so it makes sense that they would have it. From what I understand, they do a good business with it too.
