@Mountain Man I drove to the Philly mint . There you can purchase coins minted at the other mints. Oh by the way the parking kiosk, by Franklin's grave, was only taking quarters.
I see. I visited the Philly Mint back in 2001 and don't remember exactly what they offered. Thanks for the info.
Blows my mind that you can buy something with this much history and beauty for less than the cost of the slab. I'm into it for 18.99+juice...
