<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 207762, member: 4626"]Well OK, we'll see one way or the other soon I guess. Still, no offense to ND86 or anything, but without knowing where the information is coming from I have no idea whether ND86 is, or has access to, an actual authoritative source of information, or is just an extremely lucky guesser. I'd much prefer an actual press release from the Mint or the words of an actual Mint employee (who is in high enough of a position to know such things) than just an "ND86 said so" argument, when I have no idea what his credentials or sources of information are. Someone can be right 999,999 times in a row and still be wrong the millionth time, a track record isn't by itself proof of anything but probability. He may very well be right, and I'm even willing to concede that he <i>probably</i> is, given his track record, but until I see proof that his is <i>definitely</i> right, I won't concede that I'm <i>definitely</i> wrong. Especially when I have the word from people whose enitre job is to know what coins are for sale and when that the sets won't contain the presidential dollars (they may very well be mistaken of course, but I'd rather rely on the word of someone whose credentials I know that of somebody whose real name I don't even know. Again, no offense to ND86.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway likely to be a moot point in about two months time or so anyway, lol...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
