Moen, I received the same message. I assume it's a verification?

DO you think there will be any nearby price increase of them? In other words, how many should I buy?

After a botched "P" shipment on the GW coin, I finally got them to believe I didn't receive the rolls. Then they ship me 2 Denver rolls instead, but not before they backordered the form to submit for never receiving 2 "P" rolls, I already received the Denver rolls I actually ordered...etc.etc...  | |

Looks like a nice thing that the Mint did to me. I order several items from the Mint each year and I have never had a problem with anything they have sent. NO complaints!!! davdo
