Message:: [QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 7886056, member: 100459"]Another thought came to me about the Mint.  There has been a lot of complaints concern "bots".  I'm not sure how it works, but I think that someone has developed a software "Patch" that bipasses the Mints security system allowing buyers to purchase more that the restricted number of coins or sets.  From what I have read about the "bots", when they get their coins, they are sold on some online store and then, we collectors, pay huge prices on their coins.  I was looking at a listing by a coin dealer selling the two-coin silver Reverse Proof T1 & T2 ASE's for almost $400.  I looked closer and the T1 ASE was a bullion coin.  I can't remember what the T2 was.  As I mentioned earlier, I bought the Mint's Two-Coin ASE T1 & T2 Reverse Proof for $175.  What a mark-up.  As my father taught me years ago, "A Fool and His Money are Soon Parted."Although I Pay a lot of money for the ASE - W & S as well as the Uncirculated coin because I like them and can afford them.  If it weren't so, "This Fool and His Money Would Soon Part."Thanks for your info.  I hope there will be more so that I could learn more.[/QUOTE]
