It is with those who circumvented the intentions of the Mint and, in effect, cheated others out of the chance to have a set or some sets. We are all in this hobby together and should treat 1 another accordingly. There is enough dog-eat-dog behavior in life; it would be nice to have at least 1 refuge from it.</p><p><br /></p><p>No; I am not whining because I didn't get a set. I did order and receive 1 set. I may be in the minority, but I collect coins because I actually enjoy the coins for what they are and what they represent. The future value or whether or not they will be a "winner" is of little importance to me. If I like the coin for whatever reason, I like the coin. It's too bad that so many things have to be reduced to their monetary worth and lead people to disrespect others because of it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
