So.. the Mint is not so Stupid After all.....http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/Banking/Betterbanking/P110582.asp?GT1=6968 RickieB
They forgot to mention (or accidently left out) that it takes 6 months or more to get the items from the mint. Probably afraid that would scare off some of those new numismatists. maybe they could direct them to the home shopping channels. They always seem to have a vast supply of "impossible to obtain" coins.
Awwwww c'mon now Steve. You're old enough to remember when it used to take 9 to 12 months now aren't ya ? Seems to me they're just getting back to the way they were 40 yrs ago. Just think of it as nostalgia
