Remember, the mint has been doing this a lot longer than any of us have been alive. The Secret Service is involved, as is the FBI for establishing...
Are you wondering about the security protocols for the movement of the PM? I can tell you they are by unmarked truck, gps tracked, with chase...
I believe all coins minted are from blank manufacturers, not just the PM's. As for distribution, I have heard of coin spills frequently. However,...
Well, if they recover 99% the price won't matter, if they don't and they consume a lot in the process, we don't know if there is another...
Buying coins like that cheaply I think would be a very wise investment. I would agree with you completely. I bought early US coins that were...
Its a cast copy of an ancient greek coin. The softness in the coin is from the act of copying. I am not sure when they were made but I have a lot...

I understand your happiness, but every time I hear of an ancient graded AU I die little. At least its not "MS63 weak strike worn die PQ ++++ CAC"...
