<p>[QUOTE="NumisMan77, post: 26021078, member: 88103"]Spark, have you ever shopped for or bought any Scottsdale mint products? When you said <i>"For less well-known mints like Franklin, Scottsdale and Danbury..." </i>you're implying that these 3 mints are essentially selling the same products. I consider the Franklin and Danbury mints as companies that sell souvenir items and may or may not contain precious metal, especially when it comes to their coin products. The Scottsdale mint produces coin and bullion products in pure silver and gold. They even mint coins for many countries around the world, that are legal tender bullion coins. However, I agree that someone shopping for an SMS set in OGP may not know about Scottsdale mint coins in the original mint packaging. However, someone shopping for Scottsdale mint silver coins in a complete mint sheet is expecting a full intact sheet, whereas a buyer looking for Scottsdale mint silver coins, probably won't expect them in the mint packaging if they're not listed as such. The difference is, if you list it as a full sheet of 5 coins and the buyer receives 5 coins not in the original packaging, I would expect an angry communication from the buyer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
