[QUOTE="rocket, post: 857517, member: 24349"][b]If you really care about scouts and want to help....[/b] Just had a thought... Profit is a motive of many. I can't blame anyone for wanting to make a buck, and many people hoarding may or will make prices high enough so that legitimate (past, present or future) scouts or their parents can't buy them in the very near future. I just had a win-win thought for those who have the money, time and space and want to help themselves (as collectors) as well as those scouts who are not in time or learned about it too late: Why not buy up the limit of 100 each proof and unc with the intention of a) as a collector keeping the best few of each for yourself while b) selling the others to scouts for the price you paid once they are sold out. Thoughts? By the way, if anyone is interested, please find the following coin collecting merit badge worksheet: [url]http://meritbadge.org/wiki/images/0/04/Coin_Collecting.pdf[/url][/QUOTE]
