[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2006885, member: 15929"]Read the article again, the coins graded weren't "SOLD" they were for "Presentations" despite what Coin World says. From Public Law 112-104 "(c) Commencement of Issuance.--The Secretary may issue coins, to the public, minted under this Act beginning on or after January 1, 2015, except for a limited number to be issued prior to such date to the Director of the United States Marshals Service and employees of the Service for display and presentation during the 225th Anniversary celebration." These were NOT from the TV Guys nor for the TV Guys but were submissions from Chief Inspector Scott Sanders and Senior Inspector Oscar Blythe of the US Marshals Service. They pair received them at the groundbreaking ceremony for the [URL='http://www.usmarshalsmuseum.com/']US Marshals Museum[/URL] on Sept. 24 as enabled by and expressly from Public Law 112-104. Sanders and Blythe developed the idea for the commemorative coin in 2007 and worked closely with Congressional aides, the United States Mint, the US Marshals Museum, and others to make them a reality. For Coin World to state that the US Mint "sold" a small number of the coins is simply shoddy journalism implying some type of favoritism or under handed dealing. This is what was written into the law which enabled the production of this commemorative and was completely out of the hands of the US Mint.[/QUOTE]
