I ordered them on the release date at 1:00 and they were backordered.
Exactly, why would the mint make a billion of the type 1 09's if banks still have boxes of new 07's and 08's lying around? ....not to mention the...
I've never liked albums for proofs. Too much air can get to them for my tastes. I put all my proofs in Airtites. If you must use an album, put it...
