Message:: [QUOTE="Sholom, post: 587440, member: 17753"]Report from DC I started the day, with my wife, at the US Mint office at 9th St.  Short line, we were out of there by 10:10 am.  Went over to Union Station, where there was a huge line -- at least 100-150 folks -- took 45 minutes or more to get my 6 rolls. There was a guy in line with a box or two of Log Cabin's, and he had a sign on his shirt "will trade my Log Cabins for your Log Splitters".  The people in front of me in line told me "don't do it!"  They were dealers from NY (I didn't get their names).  They told me that the Log Cabin rolls will be available eventually, but I will never have another chance to get "first day" Log Splitters, if I get them stamped.  I asked them: how it is possible that a trip all the way from NY to DC is profitable if they can only get 6 rolls.  They said that they were going to try to get as many rolls as possible, and get them all stamped. OK -- so that convinced me.  I got my rolls, walked about 100 yards to the post office, where the kindly elderly lady was happy to stamp my rolls at no cost. (Umm, if anybody wants these, I'm afraid they are not available at the moment.  I am part of a "consortium" of folks to get rolls, get them stamped, and see what we can get for them on ebay.) After lunch, I'm going to return to both the 9th St and Union Station places, and see what's up . . . .[/QUOTE]
