Then I don't know Mike, or rather can't say with any degree of certainty. Maybe they just screwed up, or maybe they did it on purpose. Who knows....
BUT - there is not any law even being proposed ! Let alone one that might pass.
I do not of even 1 dealer who ever give you a price or estimate on a coin or coins without seeing the coins in his hands first.
