Especially with US Mint issues. I came close to fooling myself into believing I knew what I was doing but my desk and cabinets are strewn with proof that nothing could be further from the truth.</p><p><br /></p><p>As such, I&#039;m just small potatoes in a boiling vat of stew called &quot;The Coin Collecting Hobby&quot; and once you exchange the word &quot;hobby&quot; with the word &quot;profits&quot;, then the dealer tendencies in all of us becomes apparent since it then is no longer a hobby. Its a source of income. If folks want to use the guise of coin collecting as a source of income then they need to be available at Noon Eastern Time because the folks that really turn the profits aren&#039;t going to hold the door waiting for them to waltz in.</p><p><br /></p><p>The writing was clearly on the wall. 17,000 Sets. 5 per Household Limit. On sale at Noon.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anybody the really wanted one of these sets could have ordered one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
