Tips & Warnings
If you chose to bury your Indian head coins, make sure you draw a map marking the location. Put the map with your important items, or hide it. Tell your significant other that if something happens to you, to thoroughly search and review your documents.
If you ordered your Indian gold coins by mail, use registered mail. You’d be able to track your mail online until it gets to the gold merchant. Once you see delivered time and date, call the order company and asked if they received your mail.
If you chose to store your Indian gold coins in a bank, you make a trade off: You’ll get security, but won’t have the same protection that you have with your savings account.
