[QUOTE="tmoneyeagles, post: 1917527, member: 17557"]I don't entirely agree with it either. The fractional buffaloes are another prime example of which you speak. Also, I was able to flip the LP2's and LP4's in 2009. And how about those god awful but lucrative HOF coins? I could go on but I'd be here all day. The mint has left most people with a very sour taste in their mouths; if I can avoid dealing with them, I most certainly will. Their execution of getting products to the consumer is lousy at best. Their website is dated and is prone to crashing. Customer service at the mint is a disastrous game of [I]he said she said, [/I]where I'm prone to get a different answer each time--to whatever my question may be. Need I add that the U.S. Mint is where halfway decent coin designs and ideas go to die as tacky shadows of their former selves? Yeah, you'll hit a home run here or there, but you'll have to decide if the ulcers and grey hairs are worth it. I decided that it wasn't a long time ago, however, if things still work out on your end, then good for you.[/QUOTE]
