<p>[QUOTE="Twentyseven, post: 146899, member: 6070"]Thanks for the inputs and welcomes. What you two say makes sense, but what I am having a hard time understanding as an engineer is how can proofs straight from the Mint be that different? I would assume that the Mint (perhaps wrongfully) has some of the greatest quality control on the planet, therefore rendering all it's brand new products virtually identical and flawless. But then I guess on the other hand they can't be perfect statically due to the great numbers of coins they produce...ie creating errors which everyone hopes to get there hands on. </p><p> </p><p>As far as gambling it seems to me that buying any new coin is a bit of gamble as the Mint withholds or hides there finally quantity minted for a few years correct? I mean you can take educated guesses but one never knows initially. Right?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
