<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Beefer518, post: 5342891, member: 87737&quot;]He did it twice, actually.</p><p><br /></p><p>First was in 1917 when he bought the remaining 10,000 McKinley Gold Dollars at a discount. The National McKinley Birthplace Memorial Association had been selling them for $3 per coin, whereas Mehl sold them for $2.50 each. These were the ones that didn&#039;t sell well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second time was 1935, when he bought all remaining 1935 Arkansas P/D/S (3,000/5,000/5,000 respectively). These were the second minting (of the P&#039;s), as the initial minting sold out quickly, and an additional minting ensued, resulting in an unwanted surplus. He bought all the D/S&#039;s that were minted for that year.</p><p><br /></p><p>The man had his hands in the Commemoratives for sure![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
