[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 7922073, member: 101855"]I’ve had trouble with mint for years, and sometimes it’s been worse than today. Back in 1984, the mint sold the LA Olympics three piece coin set in two parts. One year you got one of the silver dollars. Then you got the other dollar and the $10 gold piece, which priced at over $300. At that time, $300 met something. To make the story shorter, they lost my order for the gold coin. After several calls where I got nothing but the run around from low level people. Then I got through to a big boss. He explained to me that the mint had farmed the accounting function out to a private party, and that that group had mishandled the ordering function. People who had ordered coins had been dropped from the system. I had paid by check, and fortunately I still had the concealed check. That’s how I finally got the coin. If I had not followed up, I would have gotten nothing.[/QUOTE]
