I appreciate your advice and hope/wish that I find a mechanism that won't require a 64 bit processor, non-backward compatible program/O.S.. I've tried same with frustrating results. So, What coins are you collecting, as I've been locating competitively priced certified U.S. Gold for numerous others that are frustrated with pricing above "Spot", which I've decided to acquire with lowest premium, and share "Pro Bono"![/QUOTE]
