Do you feel strange admiring your coins at your safety deposit box?

Just curious...

How many of you loiter at the bank to look at your coins? Do the bank employees ever wonder what's going on?

    I'm not of the safe deposit set. Although my collection value is pretty small right now.

    You mean...feeling like a pervert...stealing glances at items when no one is looking????

    Yes, sometimes image

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    If I had any coins worthy of a safety deposit box.....I would let you know.

    At what point does one put their collection in safe deposit? When it's value exceeds the house it's in?

    Won't the banks just put a freeze on your safety deposit boxes when the government makes holding gold illegal? I wonder...

    True "story".... My Wife (may she RIP) and I. used to make an event of going to the safe box and viewing our coins. Kind of a date if you will.
    Yes, she collected right beside me and we both learned together. Those days it was Franklins (OMG) and Walkers mainly.
    We had a good time passing these white "thingsimage) back and forth, and usually were in a private room for quite some time.

    I suspect they did. Did they wonder if we might have been getting frisky? Perhaps, no telling what goes through ones mind. And I'm sure
    Bank tellers have many stories they could tell about what has happened in these little rooms.

    Did we ever get "frisky" in the private room? Ummmm, at least once if I recall correctly. Not that I didn't try on more occasions!image

    At least your wife was there. For those of us that are "alone" when we make those visits, staying to long accompanied with the owws and ahhs, might raise a few eyebrows. However, it might explain the funny smirks I get from the clerk when I go to put my box back.

    I never felt weird about looking through my coins in the private room, until I read this thread........ image

    I've had them knock on the door and ask if I was alright. Talk about feeling weird.

    when i hit about 1500 bucks, i decided i'd smack myself around for weeks if it was stolen in my college dorm room.... so i forked over 40 bucks for a safety deposit box and "check out" one coin at a time
