BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4589 Posts	Posted 10/13/2023 7:20 pm Kind of astonished they couldn't find somebody to take it over. Even if the sell the site and the machines, that's pennies on the dollar. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 10/13/2023 9:24 pm Looks like they were not getting enough orders from minor countries for either circulation coins, or collector coins. Perhaps their costs for low mintages may have been to high, too be profitable. (All conjecture on my part) I thought their minting standards were sufficiently high enough. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personally I have never been attracted to modern bright 'n shiny collector coins issued by any country - they usually have poor re sale performance in the numismatic after market Report this Post to the Staff
