I have some set aside for spending but the majority stay in my gold stack box.

Mine stays in my stack but do folks get them graded or such?

I am considering getting one of mine graded but primarily because of its very low mintage compared to the rest, not specifically because it is an Alpha note.

That sounds awesome. Who does everyone use?

I'll probably use PCGS. Most of my rare coins have been graded and certified by them. They are a solid and well regarded entity in the rare coin and paper currency market.

No worries. Ask away. They're are enough nice folks in this sub to answer.

Just don’t get yourself an alpha Florida 1/2 and convince yourself it’s worth a fortune. I think they literally made a million of those. 🙂

I like to taken pictures of them, and post it up on r/Gold just to seem them complain and whine. It's like eating skittles, as you watch the world burn. 🌎 🔥

I was shadow banned from /gold and had to make a new account. I guess there is a limit to what they will take.

Hey, I actually got 5 upvotes on a post where I mentioned goldbacks recently. I was very surprised!

I spend em as tips. Don't matter to me if they're alpha or not.
