<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 7915251, member: 100459"]This year, I have had more questionable dealing with the Mint. I don't usually have any problems buying from them, but this year, there have been more questionable sales. I don't know what you, my friends, have had the problems that I had, and maybe its because I am going to be 74 in December. It seems as if about every nice coin is sold out in under 5 minutes. My first problem was getting an American Silver Eagle Proof Coin T-1. I did, finally, get one, then the T-2, of which I got one. I lucked out, and got the Morgan Dollar (D) and Morgan Dollar (S). I couldn't figure out that if the Mint says they are going to produce "X" many coins, why are mine backordered a month and a half. The only American Gold Eagle I could get was the T-2 1/10th Ounce Gold Coin. (I've tried to buy a T-1 online, but the sellers have jacked their prices. Then, I was "lucky" enough to buy the American Eagle One Ounce Silver Reverse Proof Two-Coin Designer Edition. It showed up "ordered" and the charge to my VISA was made, but the very next day, it disappeared. It now shows as "Processing". My last purchase was and is the beautiful American Liberty 2021 High Relief Gold Coin. It showed up today, as Backordered. Thankfully, one of CT's members told me that they won't actually charge my VISA until the coin is shipped. I hope.</p><p>This kind of reminds me of when I was young, I use to love to watch the Lone Ranger, until I learned that Quimo Sabe (not good with the spelling) means "Who knows." And Tanto means stupid. I just couldn't watch a show when the heroes are "Who Know" and Stupid. </p><p>I kind of feel like Tanto and the Lone Ranger when I deal with the Mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
