<p>[QUOTE="talkcoin, post: 1592466, member: 38842"]I have written many letters to Congressmen/women in my day and I have worked grassroots in the past for both political parties. I hold a BA in Political Science from a California State University... But in all fairness; the US Postal Service will be poof; gone within the next 10 years; all part of the plan brother. Electronic email systems is what they want, cause that is what they can keep safe for when they need it without having to gather paper-trails <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Trust me when I say; the President of The United States of America could care less about coin-collectors or coin-flippers; flat out, 100%; period. I feel your frustration on this SF 2-coin set, I pretty much side with you on this issue... But having admitted that here; like the other side stated; a gamble is a gamble, you win some and lose most. I am a collector of coins and many other things, but also feel that any collector should always want to make a profit if he/she needs to liquidate any of their collections... Or else they would just be hoarders of junk, and who in their right mind wants to hoard junk? I collect (what i feel to be valuable and mostly tangible items) to control my impulses caused by OCD; but I thank God I am educated, or else I would just be a bum who hoards things that my wife and child would have to pay to be removed from my stash if I left this earth earlier than expected. I bought 7 sets of this issue and inherited 10 sets from my Gramps who just recently passed. Of the 34 coins sent into PCGS for grading, I got a total of 5 PR70's, zero RP70's, with the rest being 69's, 68's and two 67's. I was way more disappointed in the QC than any misinformation that the US Mint may or may not have issued. I mean the San Francisco Mint has specialized in proof coins for 40+ years, and they slept-in on these issues. But in the end, I don't blame anyone, not even myself. I love cointalk.com, and all you guys/gals who contribute; this place is progressive in furthering my education on Numismatics, and I Respect all of you for that :hail:</p><p><br /></p><p>Erik[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
