<p>[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2114036, member: 71723"]I never bought the JFK Goldie, nor will I. Too much original markup for a "mint to demand" piece, especially since so far it's not part of any realistic "set". (Stay tuned for the 2016 gold tribute pieces coming.) I did work queue security and management for the ANA for three days last August for those who did line up. I'm an ANA National Volunteer. Just because I love coins, that doesn't mean I'm not aware the hobby AS WE HAVE COME TO KNOW IT is in the process of a slow-motion swirly. It's doomed. I just hope to be able to enjoy it for the few years I have left, and it hangs on for my son. I'm far less sure of that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm an analyst for a living.
