<p>[QUOTE=&quot;indianaman79, post: 1970025, member: 46666&quot;]so i went to DC on vacation and wanted to stop by the DC mint just to see what it was all about.&nbsp; i went directly in to the store to look at the display case and i struck up a conversation with the guy behind the case.&nbsp; here are some things i found interesting:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1) they still had a RP gold buffalo for sale in the case.&nbsp; i didn&#039;t ask if i could buy it or not because its out of my price range - but it had a price tag on it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2) silver ATB 5oz pucks - i had never seen these before and i can&#039;t believe these are not struck in proof!&nbsp; the regular strikes look so bad (in my opinion) vs the proof strike regular sized quarters.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>3) they still had a 2013 silver proof set (regular - not limited edition) in the display case - it had a price tag on it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>4) i know this subject has been beaten to death - but - we started talking about the gold kennedy.&nbsp; He said there were fights in line outside the store from people cutting in line.&nbsp; he said a dealer just sat outside the exit door and offered $$ to everyone leaving with a Kennedy.&nbsp; People would sell it to him then try to cut back in line - which started the fights.&nbsp; I was very surprised at this conversation because this employee had a lot of resentment towards the dealers for the situation they were causing.&nbsp; I started the conversation off with a line that sounded something like &quot;i already know the answer - but you don&#039;t have any gold kennedy&#039;s do you?&quot;&nbsp; his reply was &quot;no - blame the dealers for that&quot;.&nbsp; i know dealers are their biggest customers, but i wouldn&#039;t think there would be an employee at the mint trash talking them.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>anyway - i was happy because i left with a 2014 silver proof set which saved me shipping.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
