Very true Christian. I was stationed in Saudi in 1991 and you could go into a jewelry store and handle a necklace valued at a quarter million...
You really think that Chris? The mint's expenses have gone up quite a bit, (which lowers their profits), and I do not see anyone doing anything...
You are right, I should have said "business professional". The mint and the collectors who make additional profit for it, (and therefor all US...
Its a not for profit beauracracy. That should tell you up front it will be dysfunctional. SHOULD they care if people collect coins? Absolutely,...
Real dumb ones! :) Btw j/k Taxidermist
