I received my one coin from mint today. Very nice clean coin no scratches no finger prints.

So glad the household limit will be 1. I’m even more sure now I will be able to get mine, as I was able to get my 1 mercury dime at the 10 per limit.

MB,
Yes I also am glad to see the HHL of 1 to give us little guys a chance at the mints offering.

I didn’t stand a chance on the Mercuty Dime. Hope the mint will do a short time notice and a HHL of 1 so that the Dealers and Flipers won’t have a chance to get all of the “OTHER BUYERS” fully mobilized.
MB, Good Luck on your big Quarter Bilelle

Its great news only 1 per house order but it will still be a race to get one big dealers have lots of buyers and this limit will slow them down so real coin collectors can get one at mint price.

John –

The gold dime black box was not wrapped in plastic from the US Mint.

Does anyone who ordered the gold dime centennial coin remember if the black box housing the coin was wrapped in plastic? Thank you so very much. Looking forward to the release of the gold quarter.

You are so right about the unbridled greed on the low limited mintage special US Mint coins at ANA shows & the Mint’s 3 gift shops in DC, Philadelphia & Denver. Because of the number of people hurt & trampled & got sick in rain in line during the 2014 gold Kennedy coin fiasco, the ANA’s insurance company & the Mint’s legal department decided not to ever issue such “rare” limited coins at their coin shows & gift shops again. Police had to be called out in the 4 locations selling that coin to control unruly crowd & a tv station in Denver got on film people running & trampled to get to Denver Mint gift shop back then. Greed is very ugly for sure!

Recently got a email from the US Mint to update my password! I think they are double checking accounts and if they are going to P.O.Boxes! I bought 5 dimes all buy one a 70! Been buying most of everything that comes out except for ASE Gold and Platinum! I am good with the limits! I was at the ANA MONEY SHOW, for the release of the gold 3/4 ounce Kennedy! I just wanted one and to have it graded onsite for my collection! I drove by the conference center at 12:30 at night! No line! Got there at 5:45 and silver town bused in Korean’s and lined them up before the collectors could get theirs! I almost lost Interest in coin collecting at that point! But I did some thinking and almost every collector is boycotting the show coins! I will enjoy coin collecting till I died! It’s kinda like hunting! Some years you get your deer other years you don’t! Happy collecting everyone!

Bilelle –

That joke is priceless! LOL. I thought that I had heard it all as a “student” of humor, especially political humor. Thanks for teaching me something new.

JtheLoJ –

As for household limits, why does any collector “need” more than 1 coin on special issues other than greed!? A person only needs 1 of each coin to have a complete collection – gifts are another story & I have 4 nephews to buy for on certain products. But to be fair to all collectors, I have no problem with a 1 per household limit. You can always do what dealers & flippers do & get family, friends & co-workers & friendly neighbors to order for you. And you can use your work address with a different credit card to get 1 more coin for yourself.
Just think outside the box & be Happy!
