<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1965727, member: 26302&quot;]While I do appreciate Mr. Bellmann&#039;s response, I do think the ANA could have done more. They could have threatened to take away the US Mint&#039;s table if they didn&#039;t fix the issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, overall I agree the ANA had little to do with it. It was the mint being stupid and dealers willingly ruining the show and screwing over collectors. The mint could have stopped this by doing a better job of making everyone prove they weren&#039;t hired temp workers but collectors trying to buy for themselves. I mentioned in another thread about having people sign a sworn statement they were not hired in line, but have a better idea. Why doesn&#039;t the mint just bring their customer database with them? Make each buyer of such items prove they are on their mailing list? They would even just allow people to order it online, and pick it up in person at the show. Then, you show up, show your id and receipt, and get your coin. Hopefully something like this would prevent the massive fraud perpetrated on this hobby at one of our biggest shows, by Silvertowne and other miserable reprobates.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
