<p>[QUOTE="davidh, post: 1226122, member: 15062"]I think there's enough blame to go around here. It took 20 rings for him to answer and when he did it sounded like you woke him up. Do you think that maybe you did wake him up. Just because you think he's the only dealer around that's open on Sunday, did it occur to you that maybe he was taking a day off? Or that he just ,,wasn't open yet? Don't assume that you know what was going on with him at that moment when you interrupted. I can tell you that if I had something going on that didn't include wanting to talk on the phone and I let it ring without answering, if it rang 20 times I might answer it with less civility than the dealer showed you.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as your question goes, come on, you know the new shield cents are in the second year of what might well be a 50 year series with BILLIONS of them being minted.
