Yep, that's business...buy at one price and sell for more. That's what business is. And yeah, I worked the system a little bit since I have two Mint accounts, but I am not like the big dealers that use every relative, friend, friends' friends, anybody under the sun they can get to order the limit for them, pay them a premium for their order so they can get hundreds of a new Mint release. And those that cry foul, you can tell me with 150% honesty you have never flipped something? And I wonder how many people in Coin Talk won't admit that they bought the Kennedy silver sets and sold them to a big dealer for a profit, no matter what the profit was, to help pay for whatever they kept. Just my 50 cents!!
Most people only have two cents. You must have acquired those other 48 cents through unethical ways (multiple accounts?!).
Two accounts is multiple???? Get real, Witten. What did you do in Chicago with the gold Kennedys you bought? Flipped for quite a nice profit, right? So what's the difference? Too many self-righteous people around here that think their stuff don't smell!!! You all do it....just most won't admit it. SP....sexy proof!! Really Special Proof if I am not mistaken.
Wow, someone can't tell when sarcasm is used. I have 3 mint accounts, by the way. I am all for flipping!
According to PCGS it stands for Specimen - Struck well like a Proof, but with a satiny, sometimes matte, semi-granular looking. http://www.pcgs.com/grades.html
no, Denver is a specimen proof. whatever that is. I bought the set just to get a business strike, now I feel ripped off. I consider proofs garbage and wont have them in my house. I do collect silver Kennedy business strikes and I thought the Denver was one. This is BS.

I've got no problems with anyone who wants to flip coins. My comment was purely refuting your comment about the mint quality based on your grading results. If you can buy, grade then flip and make $$$, well, that's capitalism. I'm all for it.
