<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1256543, member: 13650&quot;]Call me paranoid, but every time I get a coin magazine, brochure, catalogue, or any other junk mail crap that gets sent to my mailbox, I somewhat cringe every time I take it out.&nbsp;&nbsp; How many people use a P.O. box for their stuff?&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I hate getting all the extra junk mail from all these places, because some dealer gave your address out.&nbsp; Then when you move, the new owners, whoever they may be, however far down the road, will be bound to continue receiving this junk that I receive now.&nbsp; Because you don&#039;t even know who&#039;s responsible for sending some of it.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve told a few to quit sending but it&#039;s like they always come back.&nbsp;&nbsp; I like receiving Coinage, but I&#039;m going to let the subscription lapse and just pick up a copy at the store once in a while now.&nbsp; &nbsp; I seriously receive stuff from no less than:</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The US mint</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; The Royal mint</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The NY mint</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Franklin mint</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Coinage</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Apmex</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Silvertowne</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Several dealer catalogs</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Random offers from unknown companies</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Thankfully, I can get The Numismatist electronically online. But, it&#039;s to the point I get something coin related in the mail almost every day now.&nbsp; What does the mail man think!?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I won&#039;t even throw coin related mail out.&nbsp; I throw it in a bag and take it with other junk (to an undisclosed location <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ) and burn it all.&nbsp;&nbsp; At least until I get a good shredder.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; You&#039;re really at the postal carrier&#039;s mercy.&nbsp;&nbsp; They pretty much know what everybody at every house on their route gets on a regular basis.&nbsp; It&#039;s not their fault.&nbsp; You do something month after month, year after year, it&#039;s going to get pretty repetitive and soon, they inevitably have to know everybody&#039;s business.&nbsp; All they have to do is mention your house in casual conversation that somebody over hears and anything can happen.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I&#039;m quite confident that my collection would survive a robbery but other minor stuff would not.&nbsp; Nobody wants to see their house ransacked.&nbsp; &nbsp; I&#039;m starting to think a security system and a PO box might be worth the money.&nbsp; &nbsp; I don&#039;t trust the banks/gov at all, and I&#039;m not going to pay money for a SDB that could be paid towards my own security system.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Anybody else share these sentiments?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
