    Dont bury the seated quarter please, what did the little girl ever do to you. I can truly understand the desire to bury the rest especially the franklins but please don't harm the seated quarter.

    If I say something in the woods, and my wife isn't around. Am I still wrong?

  • I didn't know they made an 1843 two cents.
    The first one I know of is 1864.

    Trees and rocks get bulldozed all the time. Only safe place to bury would be at the bottom of the bluff where I live. image >>



    Burial at sea is a lot safer. image

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    ....I did research topics here of burying coins, I see a "longacre" stating the same the same thing back in 2005 thread...I wonder if he ever carried it out...??? I doubt it, he sounded to greedy..

    Ouch thats a slam, where is longacre to defend himself.

    The MS69 '42 Half is certainly not PCGS and probably not certified by any party.

    Inquire with the Chinese - they'll be there long before NASA gets out of the planning phase.

    Not so ... I believe SGS has graded dozens of them 69 or 70.image

    Try a protected land such as a wildlife preserve. Try to go below the frost line.

    I finally saw this thread. It is not worth Longacre's time to respond directly to the OP.

    A hard PVC or ABS pipe with welded caps on each end is the best way to go. Water tight and long lasting.

    Yeah, seal that in wax too. Heck, just throw everything in a 55 gallon drum of hot wax and throw that in the ground.

    This has got to be the stupidest thread I've ever read.



    You might as well just dump them in the ocean, then jump in and follow them all the way down...

    Don't bury them

    Just leave coins laying around at the park

    you can wait to see expressions or actually see how long it takes for someone to take them

    You should bury it where I bury my ammo. Of course, if I told you where that is I'd have to shoot you.

  • Attention grabbing thread IMO..... I call image
  • Actually I have been thinking lately of burying some gold bullion. Its really the only safe place. Banks can be taken over by the govt and your home can be ripped off. Sooner or later the govt will come for your valuables. I cant see a safer place than the ground. Just have to remember where you buried it.

  • << <i>I have decided to bury my coin collection...Even though it is quite modern, I do have a good selection of old coins that will be going in...I am sorry if some of you want my coins, but alas, they are going in, never to be re-treaved !! I am going to list my coins first of all, I will be taking pictures of this process as well....I did research topics here of burying coins, I see a "longacre" stating the same the same thing back in 2005 thread...I wonder if he ever carried it out...??? I doubt it, he sounded to greedy..

    Except for my gold, I just cant give that away, LO!! >>



    Well tell us did you bury the coins or was it all talk. First off I dont think you had some of them coins to begin with and secondly why would you do a dumb a$$ thing like that anyway.
