How retail has changed.
Used to be, you'd sell a common proof cent for 50ยข, or break the set for the higher denominations and <shudder>spend</shudder> the cent.
Now you pay $30 to have the cent slobbed, so you can sell it for $3.50, less shipping,
ebay and PayEnemy fees.
And the slobbing companies making millions would have you believe this is an intelligent way to spend your collecting/investing dollars.
