Box short $10 and inflation hedge question

[conpewter]

Got my first short box yesterday. Brinks box (so no holes) and it was one roll short when I got it home. I'll tell the bank about it but I don't expect to be compensated. Guess I really do need to start opening the boxes at the bank. Luckily brinks boxes are a breeze to open, not so much for the yellow boxes, but they have the holes.

So I'm looking to sell off some of my silver since the price has skyrocketed. I'd like to diversify my "inflation hedge" holdings. I was looking at timber REITs, converting to gold (physical), agriculture ETF or REIT of some type. Or thinking of stocking up big time on staples, but not sure what that would look like. We are already planning on getting a whole side of beef soon, but that's already in our food budget to do so. I suppose I could start my cheese making hobby

I am sure this will not be a common mistake by brinks. I get the yellow flat-pack half dollars with holes in it, but all of my brinks pennies nickels and dimes have never been shorted a roll(some have been shorted a few coins though)

I've noticed that low-grade mint state (MS-61/2) pre-33 gold coins only are now about $100 + spot from most places, those might be interesting to look at if you think the collector coin market will recover.

DO NOT sell yet .. it will go to $50 soon.. CNBC people keep raving about silver even over gold.. people keep saying it's a cheaper alternative to gold. With CNBC raving about it, more people are gonna invest in silver. Don't sell yet unless you really need the money like emergencies (health issues, debt collectors knocking on door, etc).
