Default New "digs" for my "digs"

Hey Greg......I decided to "lose the 2x2s" and the cookie tin, and freed all of my silver except for UNCs and stuff that needed protected.....and picked this silver plated box up at WalMart for 12 bucks. It's a bit frilly, but I like the inside especially well since the new inhabitants have moved in.

The coins are either dug, or bought with clad I dug. It's going to take me years to fill this thing up. The rings are all dug.

That box is classy...but I ain't got a lick of class....ask Greg and John...they'll tell you. I bought 9 walkers on eBay today....2.75 apiece (including postage). That's below "melt" if I've done my math right. I'll buy 'em all day long if they are worth more (intrinsically) than I'm paying. I figure that over the long haul...silver will escalate. I already have a guy who will pay me 5 bucks each for them if I want to sell some. I think I'll probably sell 5, and own the other 4 of my choosing and have a grand total of 3 dollars invested in 4 walkers.

From the land of the Bluenose...very nice indeed. Have an old tin I used which i brought at a yard sale from my singles day of living in a basement of a house after my landlady passed away....sentimental ! Way to go and hope the silver causes your tin to over flow!

Thanks Leslie........It's going to take a long time to fill it with "raw" coins. In those little 2x2s...it'd be full already.
