I should probably use gloves when handling my silver, but I don't usually... 😬 I just try to handle them as little as possible and keep them in the little protective containers most of the time.
You mentioned the “SD Bearings” notation on the package — I have ordered from Golden State Mint and noticed something like "Golden State Machine Parts" in the return-address. I think that must be something they do to disguise the contents as something of value, to deter theft.
As usual, the Dtube video would not play for me, but it is a pretty piece, based on what I see in that photo at top! It is awesome that you are adding to your silver collection! Thanks for sharing this in PYPT! 😊
@thekittygirl yeah wearing gloves makes me feel better about handling brand new coins.. if they are used it does not really matter. But I don't think it's a big deal to handle them outside of their wrapping just rather keep mine as clean as possible.
Hah yeah I think it is to disguise the boxes. Pretty smart idea on their parts. If the dtube video does not work give my alternative link a try at the bottom of my video description.
