[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 5142002, member: 10461"]Side thought number two (more random musings): All this fuss and bother over those End of WW2 commemoratives is over a dinky little [I]privy mark? [/I] That seems absurd to me. Yeah, I know, there's that 1,945 mintage mentioned in the article. But if only that privy mark distinguishes it from any other silver or gold Eagle, how long before someone comes up with a way of making a counterfeit stamp to duplicate the mark itself? Were there other coins issued this year without it? (Sorry, I don't follow moderns, as mentioned, so I don't know.) Good point, I guess. Can’t please everybody, all of the time. I was just remarking with a coworker in my hotel job about how quick people are to complain about our [I]free[/I] breakfast (which we used to charge for, and which is better than most free hotel breakfasts, or was, at least, before COVID forced us to stop offering a full buffet.)[/QUOTE]
