Hey arianzo, Silveroid may already be getting a 10% discount if he has a COTY membership. Problem is as everyone here uses a moniker I have no idea who is who. Thank you guys....even being limited more than previously in the budget, I do not search for "special" discounts. Never disappointed buying from Gatewest (mean service - price), so that's enough.

I see your point of view. There are many ways to dissect this issue and as many opinions I'm sure. I can not definitively answer the question for you pocket change 50. But my personal feelings are that I'm aware of my cyber footprint but I do not let it control me. My personal Facebook and Twitter accounts consist of my friends and family who I trust or they would not be there. I set my parameters to allow just who I want to see my postings and ramblings. As for Gatewest I can tell you with our Facebook account all that is displayed is the total amount of people that like us. I can't even look up a list of who has liked us with out a ton of leg work. The only names shown are of those who like our status' or share our postings. Your concern for personal security is warranted I'm sure but for me it's not the biggest concern. But again I'm not a coin collector. Having been in this business for 15 years I have only ever bought 3 items and those were low value.

@ GAtewest I'm impressed at your restraint 15 yrs and 3 low value coins; all the while working in the coin shop. If I was in your shoes, my pay check that wasn't needed to pay life's neccessarities would all be spent in the store.
My question is to learn what others are doing concerning coins & social media. The rate technology is evolving daily I find it hard to keep up with security issues.
I barely use Facebook it's there so people who I've lost contact with can find me. I can't even figure out how to set up a Facebook page for my own webstore.
I think safety concerns may be different for people in smaller communities.
GAtewest I enjoy reading your postings, and hearing what you have to say!

Certainly off-topic (and I'm not sure where the recent thread on social media went) but personally, I don't identify myself on FB or Twitter as a coin collector by liking, following, commenting or tweeting about anything related to coins. I also don't tell anyone that I'm a coin collector and the bulk of my collection is not in my home.
It's easier to lock down security on FB but on Twitter, if you protect your followers/following you also protect your Tweets and it essentially become "anti-social" media; it's nothing more than a newsfeed at that point. I don't bother with the other forms of narcissism like Instagram, Pinterest, Tumblr etc.
It's ok to say that you only allow friends to interact on social media but random crime is relatively rare. You are much more likely to become the victim of crime via someone you know and trust.
Small town or big city, the dangers are pretty much the same in my mind.

Looking for somebody with a 2014 Gold Superman coin and a 2 or 3 decimal place gram scale...
Could you please weigh the coin including the capsule and post your findings here.
Thanks!

Hi CC Ottawa, I'm glad you agree with me! I'm not into this social media stuff. I have a FB page, in case long lost friends or family want to get in touch. I post about once a year, it's when I check it. I'm more into texting, emails, or the good ole ph call. A few years ago, I read how governments can monitor it, and it really sealed FB fate for me. I don't want anyone having written records of my thoughts and activities. Something I learned to mistrust in my university days!
I was starting to think I was out to lunch about not posting any coins related stuff on FB.

I hope you don't get arrested for possession of the counterfeit.

Don't worry. RCMP is busy in other stuff, that's why ebay and Alibaba are full of counterfeit Canadian items. |
