<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sio2ga, post: 2591335, member: 83570&quot;]Yeah, I went on ebay to see what the 69 &amp; 70&#039;s were selling for and wondering if it would be worth the gamble to get one from the mint.&nbsp; The thing that complicates it is like you said, some unknown number are returns.&nbsp;&nbsp; That&#039;s not good at all.&nbsp; The article that I put a link to earlier tries to play it off as the 8,900 coins being from where the mint stopped selling so that they could reconcile the orders with the amount actually left on hand so that they don&#039;t inadvertently oversell coins they don&#039;t have.&nbsp;&nbsp; That&#039;s a little different than what the real story is :customer returned coins - although they did obliquely mention that.&nbsp; &nbsp; I wonder how many are really new surplus and how many out of the 8,900 are customer returns?&nbsp;&nbsp; I will have to research that and see how many were extra the day after they quit selling and then what the number rose to as people returned the coins.&nbsp; &nbsp; Maybe somebody knows the number off hand which will save me some time?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
