Another Mint Beef

I'm recently returned from my sojourn in Florida and have just gotten around to opening up a few packages (subscriptions and such) from the US Mint........the Marshall's commem blew me away. Why, ask you? Was the quality of strike and condition not up to your expectations or standards Ken? Absolutely........nothing to complain about. I'm quite satisfied, especially in light of all the kvetching that was going on in this forum about the condition of these coins received. They all look great.......probably '69's and '70's.........then what are you saying? What's all the hub bub, bub? The invoice. It ain't me........I mean, they got the order right but the name is all wrong. My name is not E. Rich from (unmentionable) California. My name is Ken from (unmentionable) Long Island. How do you screw that up? What if I had to return these (not that I could.....the time frame for doing so has expired)............

I'm wondering who received yours. If it was returned to the Mint, then wouldn't you have received another shipment? Apparently you didn't, so it is likely that another person got yours for free.

You New Yorkers are always stealing from us Californians. When will it end, Ken? When?!

 

I hope you at least got what you ordered.

 

Curious situation Chris. I wonder if Ed in CA. got my invoice?

 

I did.

 

Lets not even go there Guy.......you left coast guys have been hogging it all for ages......

 

But we eat your oranges and you eat ours. Don't we have something in common?

 

LOL......when I was down in Florida the most plentiful of oranges seemed to come from California. I'd see trucks (local) laden with the fruit headed for the 'juicer companies' but could I find any of this fruit in the local stores? Hardly a chance......but I did succeed on a few occasions.

 

Just what I was alluding to. That's why oranges are a buck each. Go figure.

 

Ken, that is because we Floridians all have orange trees in our yards (or, at least our neighbors do), and the grocery stores know it.

The problem with most Californians is that they want everything their way. Well, you can start by keeping your earthquakes, mudslides and forest fires.

Chris

 

We all hive citrus in our yards here. The stores have a tough time selling oranges even at $2.50 for a five pound bag.

 

hats LA, Chris. We don't count that as CA out here in CA.

 

Heck, that would be a bargain indeed.......I love juicing orange......so much better than the packaged stuff they sell in the stores.

 

Mint beef...yuck! Hope E. Rich from Cali is as honest as you.

 

Likely so TC. Most of us 'collector' types are........

 

There is no way of knowing what E. Rich received. For all we know, he may have reported never receiving it, and the Mint sent him a replacement.

You didn't pass the Tropicana orange juice train going or coming ? Heck I see it every week going north full or going south a lot faster.

 

Still.....I think I'll make a little ringy dingy to the mint customer service section. I think they should be made aware of such a mistake......
