<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dopeuser, post: 80986, member: 4130&quot;]Went to the mint yesterday, Oct 20/2005, to get the 2005 proof silver dollar with the red enamel. They said come back tomorrow, it gets officially released then.</p><p>Went today, Fri. Oct 21/2005, they said they really get released on Monday, October 24th, they pushed up the date &#039;as an experiment, to see how many people actually tried to buy it today&#039;. Unbelievable!!!!</p><p>THEN, I was told that the mintage was 3000 (Instead of the published 5000), and that they only had a &quot;couple&quot; at the mint, and by 9:01AM Monday morning theyd all be sold out through phone orders, but I can try calling them then, and if they did have any I could use my Visa or MC and get it shipped, I said &#039;well I dont got Visa or MC, I got CASH right now! And I want one!&#039; (Well actually I wanted 4, I was with someone else so we could each get 2.)</p><p>Needless to say I left empty-handed.</p><p>Even though I was TOLD in-person at the Royal Canadian Mint yesterday, just about 20 minutes before they closed, that TODAY they would be available for purchase, they would not sell to me! She even showed me one, so its not like they werent there.</p><p>End of rant for now....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
