Somebody Really Needed Gas

My favorite one was the Gold Eagle that I purchased from a gas station for $10. Someone used it to buy $10 worth of gas!

Sure they are.... we just call them dealers.....

ignorant or desperate. Either way, they guy spending them for gas needed to put a little effort into breaking them out of the lens!

This doesn't surprise me. After buying all the silver and clad
proof sets for every year, and filling my Danscos, I have so many
of those silly gold dollars left that I have considered simply
spending them, many times. They are pure surplus, and it's easier
to spend them, and make them someone else's problem, than to try
and sell all of them. If I put them all on ebay, for example, after
all my troubles and time spent that I don't have, it's really worth
it for me to simply spend them. After the fees, supplies, postage,
and my time (that is worth $$$), I won't do much better than face.

If any of you die hard clad collectors think that these are worth
more than $1 in the real world, I'll gladly sell you all of the surplus
proof "golden" dollars I have laying around from having to buy both
proof sets each year. I'll give you a BARGAIN! I'll sell for ONLY
half of Red Book value! This way we both win.

No takers yet on my golden dollars bargain?!?
Go figure.
