    V. Kurt Bellman Yes, I'm blunt! Get over your "feeeeelings".

    I am utterly convinced it was FULLY intentional. Not one iota less so than the 1913 Liberty Nickels.

    Thanks. Cool info. This small number screams "INTENTIONAL" unless there's thousands out there in never opened rolls.

    Or might there be a Mint employee or several leaking them out slowly one by one to Fred?

    Call it a "pension supplement". Yeah, pension supplement, that's the ticket!

    Two mint employees were put on trial for smuggling out and selling errors several years ago. At that time it was decided that something like 13 of the mules were the result of this smuggling (The others had been released and found in circulation.) and that they were US Government property and should be returned. As far as I know the owner of them, Tommy Bolack, has not handed them over and the government has made no further steps to secure their return.

    Yup. Magic coin. I'll trade you my two headed nickel for it. No, I won't. I can win coin flips with it! (there's always somebody worth cheating).

    The machinist is still selling them on eBay. I bought one as a novelty coin. As was stated the real mule was struck on a Sacagawea blank, so both the quarter and Sacagawea side would have the golden color. Here's the one I bought:

    You know that Tommy is the same guy who bought the "dime struck on a nail" of recent fame/infamy, right?

    But if they ever really DID manage to shut down the "Mint employee to Fred" and "ballistic bag to roll contractor employee to Fred" pipeline, Fred basically has to retire, right?

    Those 15 planchet capped die monstrosities ain't coming from opening a roll, you know.

    Are you totally sure you want that line associated with you?

    Here? No, I don't care. Sharks everywhere so no, here it's almost a badge of honor.

    I take your point, especially when juxtaposed with the thread about blocking an eBay buyer.

    You're almost likable, in a strange kind of way. :/

    Oh, if you appreciate cynicism, even if differently aimed, I'm your guy!

    After all, education is NOT about answering questions, but about questioning answers.

    I love cynics. Strange.

    Can't promise you our targets will always align. Cynicism can be a fickle weapon. But show me someone not cynical about something important, and I'll show you a rube.

    Well, guess I'm not a rube by that standard anyway.

    You sometimes have to cheat when in the land of cheats. Some cheats are bigger than others though.
