[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 12814, member: 112"]Speaking of the cost of US Mint products, the other day another collector reminded me of something. You should remember this Jody. It was not so long ago that about the only way to order US Mint products was over the phone or by mail. If you chose to call your order in you paid a small fortune ( in those days ) of about $8 for a 3 minute long distance call. But nobody complained. For if you wanted what they had - that's what you had to do. There was also the other problem. You placed your order in March or April - but you never received your coins until Nov., Dec. or maybe the following year :eek: And still nobody complained. Today - you can order your coins right from your home in seconds. Often - you receive the coins in a matter of days. Other times you might wait a few weeks. If you do - just about everybody complains. And of course - just about everybody complains about the outrageous shipping cost of $4.95. Hmmmmm - there's something wrong with this picture :confused:[/QUOTE]
