Ahhhhhh - older coins, history - just imagine what it was like back then !!! Sounds like you might be a world coin collector and just don't...
ROTFL !!!
Howdy Bill - Welcome to the Forum !! Certainly nothing wrong with buying from the mint. That's how most collectors get their Proof & mint sets....
