Can thomas jefferson's liberty gold coin better than others?.

Congress mandates that they be made and they set a maximum mintage limit. There is no lower limit As long as they make one piece they have satisfied the Congressional mandate. The mint can end order periods when they choose with one exception. If the legislation contains an ending date for orders the Mint may not sell coins after that date, but they can stop before that date. If there is an ending date for coining but not for sales, the mint may sell as long as they choose but only of existing stock as of the end of coining date.

You're playing legal technicalities. As a student of government, I can tell you... that's the exact kind of stuff that leads Congress to cut agency budgets. I doubt the Mint would do something like this without a very good reason (e.g. more than, "we want to reduce product offerings"), but that's just my opinion.

 

Gang, None of you know me personally..... but if any of you did, you would know that I am very mild mannered and very forgiving. My wife, my family and my friends are often impressed when something bad happens and how I take things in stride. I don't lose my cool and chalk up bad purchases or other stupid things as lessons learned and move on. There is no point on getting mad or holding grudges... I just don't do it. Even when people dump on me, I just keep on going.

But this mint thing has really put me over the edge. I am so mad that I am shaking!!!!! I am not mad about the overpriced coins I bought a year ago. I am not mad about the overpriced coins I bought 6 months ago, I am not even mad about the coins that I paid a rediculous amount for a MONTH ago. What I am fuming about is the FS coin that I bought 6 freakin' days ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As some of you read my post this morning, you understand what I went through with the US mint CS reps. This afternoon I read here on CT that the mint released their new prices today. So I called back the mint to see if there was anyway to cancel my order and re-order it or anything of the sort to receive a credit. The answer was still a resounding NO! Then something snapped, I didn't yell, but I defintely raised my voice and became very stern and chastising the mint for their poor decision with their new pricing. I was ticked that the mint would screw a long time loyal customer as myself. The coin was ordered 6 freaking days ago and probably won't get shipped for another week or so as usual. I then began ranting of how loyal I have been and how many years I have been buying from the mint and how I never even asked for my return shipping costs back when I sent one of my coin sets back due to damage.

This is where it gets good..... The rep then cuts me off and says that now that I have mentioned damage that she is flagging my account as a potential risk for sending back damaged product!!!! Are you freaking kidding me. She said that they will now pay special attention to anything that is sent back damaged and do a full investigation to see if I am damaging coins and sending them back. This is where I really went off. Why would I damage something that I really, really want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't want to have to send anything back, but if it is damaged I will!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She also said that she flagged my account that if I do send back my FS coin that I ordered, they will still charge me the orginal price and do not have to honor the new price for me if I reorder it. Also, they reserve the right to not send me anything at all. Now folks, $70 is not going to break me..... but it is the principle of the whole thing. I am so mad right now that I am thinking of writing all my senators and congress people to let them know about this...... if nothing else, just to get this off my chest. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!:headbang::headbang::headbang:

 

van buren liberty gold

the price of van buren's liberty gold coin should be the same with that of jackson's liberty. for proof $549.95, unc. $524.95. so far we should have three liberty. only jefferson's liberty being sold out.

 

Now that the prices have all been lowered, we will be going from a 4k mintage to sold out! So much for those key dates. I rather pay $620 for a coin with a 4k mintage then $550 for one with a 20k mintage. $70 may be the difference between buying or not, but lets hope that it won't be enough.
