Oct 8

when I was 10 years old. Paid maybe $3.00?? I don't know. It can be sold for $35-$40 now.

Also, a ton of silver coins.

The only gold I own is in jewelry, which sits in a safe. Even my wedding ring is in there. I never wear it, because I use power tools frequently, and worry about getting my finger de-gloved from an accident!

I also have a lot of rings and necklaces that I never wear for the same reason.
