Message:: [QUOTE="keemao, post: 1962803, member: 43972"]Bg35765, you were right about where we were. Too bad I didn't know you. The line does not affect getting into the show. One mint register crashed right away so after the gold people started coming out they shut off sales of the clad so they could only sell the gold. So much for their great planning. At 5pm they were still selling the 500 gold coins so I guess those people not only sat in line for hours the early morning, but also sat in their little room all day waiting to buy their one coin. I didn't get mine but got my 4 sets of clads that I took to NGC for grading. Should get them tomorrow. The line will be different tomorrow but there are a lot of pissed off people because I think more than 50% were paid dealer squatters. The paid people behind us got paid a stipend and told to go home. Easy money for just showing up at 6:45am. I think it's time to mount a letter campaign to our legislatures with copies to the mint director complaining about the lack of collectors being able to buy the gold and what the dealers do and see if we can get a fairer system in place. Every person I talked to, which included dealers not in the hunt for gold agreed a lottery drawing was the best way to go.[/QUOTE]
