<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buddy16cat, post: 1484494, member: 37356&quot;]I know what you mean.&nbsp; Anytime you let someone else know what you have you are at risk.&nbsp; I went to the bank today to get some rolls and the teller asked me what I want it for.&nbsp; I told him to for my collection and discussed him various coins I collect and some that I buy.&nbsp;&nbsp; I thought to myself, why did I just give him all this information, about pre-Civil War coins I bought recently?&nbsp; There was a customer behind me who could have heard but fortunately the area is a suburban area where people could care less about my coins although they may find it interesting especially the&nbsp; bank employees since they deal with currency all day.&nbsp; I don&#039;t believe that discussing coins with banks to be a threat but there is a real slight risk you open up to anytime you disclose what you have.&nbsp; As I mentioned though, the amount of technical expertise it would take to find out who your are isn&#039;t exactly skills that a common thief would have.&nbsp; I know someone wanted to buy a wheat cent and wanted to send me cash in the mail instead of using Paypal and I was reluctant even though I don&#039;t exactly have the most valuable collection here.&nbsp;&nbsp; I just started buying coins in March using money from gifts for my birthday, graduation, whatever.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
