Thank you.......  So, is this just an automated deal here, or can we give some criticisms about products in the hopes that Mint personnel will listen ?...  Edited by eaglefoot

I'll need to buy it to break it up for albums. I never bought the silver proof set. Only the clad proof and UNC sets.

I've heard that "US Mint" has the most valuable collection in the country !!....but he only collects Ultra Moderns......he despises Classics for some reason and just doesn't keep any ! He does A LOT of business with many members here on CCF though.... I wonder just how much his collection is really worth though !....If we asked him, I wonder if he'd answer ?......he seems to advertise what he's selling very often, but he doesn't really talk much.... I've not noticed any banter with anyone before....Is his first name George ?.....or Sam ?... |
