Ron Paul seemed to be bothered the US Mint is buying foreign PMs, not price-gouging american coin hoarders per se. I don&#039;t share his quirky nativism. It&#039;s obvious the US Mint (and not Perth) is preying upon gullible imprudent collectors.

(It&#039;s pretty simple: DONT OVERPAY.) Regardless, in the USA rubes are free to blow their money any which way they choose (on Powerball, dogs, ponies, Vegas, Beanies, whatever.) So if you want to spend many multiples over intrinsic value from a grifting coinflator, you are perfectly entitled to do so. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]239980.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
