I essentially always post my own coins In this case I think it is another CT member's coin that I previously posted for someone's thread. (Of course, I wish it was my coin ).
I'm complaining because of unnecessary negativity. If you don't believe the original statement, calling the person out doesn't help. You still will not trust that person's future statements. I'm guessing your self-described mood of curmudgeon is accurate and applies to a few others here. You guys could take a bath in gold coins and complain about the temperature. I apologize to the OP for hijacking the thread to rant. I'm just tired of certain people finding fault with others' statements no matter what is said.
I saw a documentary about Ft. Knox awhile ago where they hired local high school football players to weigh and inventory the gold there. It was very interesting. I can't remember if it was History or Discovery Channel.
I find your statement that the government would hire high school kids and entrust them with our nation's gold reserve completely credible.
