Message:: [QUOTE="MrOrange1970, post: 2727156, member: 80547"]Hello all, been a while since I posted.  I was one of the folks who ordered a 2017 mint set and got the BACKORDER status a few hours later.   Today, I see the mailman dropping off a package on the steps.  "YAY" I think as I am expecting a mint condition set of the 1938 presidential series of stamps (a burgeoning side passion).  Instead, it's a package from the Mint with the three sets of coins that I ordered.  Why did I order three?....I have no idea.  I think I just got carried away. Anyway, now comes the guilt.  I was so mad when I saw that Backorder status.  I cursed the big coin companies who have hundreds for sale.  I swore I would never buy a coing from a profiteer!  And then I revolve back to why the heck I bought three.  I don't need them all, I'm not a hoarder and I wasn't out to make a quick buck.  So I'm asking you folks.  As numismatists, what would you do with the extra coins?  Would you trade them?  Sell them at cost?  Ebay (aka gouging the willing public)? Keep them? Wondering your thoughts.  BTW, gift is out.  I don't have any numismatists for friends and it wouldn't be truly appreciated for anything other than being a pretty coin.  My kids would probably Ebay the coin before I could blink.  As always, your comments are appreciated.[/QUOTE]
