<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 25805736, member: 10103&quot;]If I could have done a face to face deal with a purchaser, I might have considered pulling the trigger on this one. For grins, I logged on to the mint web site at at 11:45 (eastern) and secured a place in line of 1 minute for when the things went on sale. Satisfied of my position, I promptly logged off. I was so sure that there wasn&#039;t going to be a run on these at 12. Boy was I wrong. When I logged back at 12:15 the product was sold out. I&#039;ve no regrets though. This wouldn&#039;t have been a money maker for me unless I could attend a major coin show, like Balto, but that wasn&#039;t going to happen.&nbsp; I could have attended a local show (Melville) which happens two times per month, but I doubt any of the locals would have had the jing to pay me in cash. Cash is king, and it&#039;s the only thing I accept. EBAY would be a no go, due to the high premium they would charge and the worry I would have of being skunked by a miscreant.&nbsp; In the end, if I did purchase the coin for myself I probably would not have been satisfied with it due to the fact that it is stuck in high relief and lacking in dimension.&nbsp; I purchased an UHR gold in 2011 and wasn&#039;t satisfied with its&#039; diminutive nature, so I sold it at FUN a few years later (a face to face transaction).</p><p><br /></p><p>My congrats to all who have obtained this coin.&nbsp; It is indeed very beautiful and lovely indeed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
