Well what's weirder is, it now seems to have just stopped. I mean, I would have expected it to keep moving (hopefully back towards Indianapolis) at least.This would be unbelievable except for the fact it has happened to me countless times.

Last time it happened to me I had a package coming from Connecticut. Tracking history showed it being scanned in Ohio then Indianapolis. Next day it showed up in Texas. 14 days after the package was mailed it showed up on my doorstep but the tracking history was never updated.Well what's weirder is, it now seems to have just stopped.

At least this one isn't being sent "signature required". A gold Britannia shipped that way showed that it was going to be delivered on one date, and then it showed up a day early (and we apparently weren't around to sign for it) and I wound up having to go to the post office to pick it up. It will be interesting to see if I get any further updates on this one.Last time it happened to me I had a package coming from Connecticut.

Well, 6 of my Kangaroos arrived today. Both orders (6 each) shipped the same day. Both arrived in Indianapolis the same day. One order made it today. The other one took a wrong turn.

IKR? I was jealous as hell. It was insured so wasn't very worried about it and the people I bought from (SilverGold Bull) have excellent service and everything coming to me in the future is via UPS.Honolulu??

I like the St Helena mintings. I bought a few of the 250 gram bars a while back and not only were they a good price per ounce, they are quite pretty. Also a nice compromise being around 8 troy oz.I picked up 7 of these for 31.94 when it dipped. It hadn't quite hit bottom but at least it was below 26.

I thought I'd give one of each of the St. Helena coins to each of 3 grandkids. Their mom passed away in 2017, so I thought the angel would be something good for them to have and keep.I like the St Helena mintings.

Ordered some 90% silver from Provident a couple days ago. Surprisingly the price per ounce was lower than the cheapest 1oz or 10oz rounds.
You're headed in the same direction as I'd like to. I'm just getting started for my hedge on the dollar/investments.Added 40oz of sunshine rounds tonight. Just above $30
You might want to consider junk silver. It is already legal tender, and has 90% silver content. Takes some math to make sure you get the best deal - each $1.40 in junk contains 1 Troy ounce of pure silver. Sometimes your local coin shop has better deals than online retailers. Sometimes. Premiums on 1 oz. silver Eagles and the like can be pretty steep.You're headed in the same direction as I'd like to. I'm just getting started for my hedge on the dollar/investments.
Could you provide any tips on purchasing or future use of coins vs rounds? I understand some basics such as legal tender vs independent mint, and the associated cost difference.
I can see the future potential need for using coins as purchasing power in the event of a financial reset. In that regard I thought legal tender might be best as a better known currency, yet the value is the precious metal.
I've found if you order random generic rounds in multiples of 20 you almost always get a tube of like rounds. Someone probably sold them a monster box of the St Gaudens rounds.Order of 50 1 oz. rounds arrived today from Silvergoldbull. They were listed as generic rounds, with possible signs of use, their choice. What arrived was 50 SiverTowne St. Gaudens tribute brand new rounds.
Saw that same thing a few days ago. First though - "What just happened? Did I miss out again?" Second thought - reload. The glitch went away.I've found if you order random generic rounds in multiples of 20 you almost always get a tube of like rounds. Someone probably sold them a monster box of the St Gaudens rounds.
I ordered a few Britanias from Provident today. They are on sale and only $0.09 per coin more than the cheapest 1oz round. Funny thing, I just hit the site to confirm what those prices were and their banner was having a glitch. I snipped it from 5 minutes ago, see below.
