In reply to Mark D..

Ah! Thanks for the lesson, didn’t know there was an in-betweener, although the coin dates should have prompted me to check.

BTW, several of my “Austrian-Hungarian” (Galacian) progenitors came to North America to avoid being drafted by the Empire late in 19th Century (not sure what conflict was brewing or burning).

Apparently, they felt a disturbance in the Force.

In reply to Jake. I wish my dad was on a gold(en?) coin. Gotta love those chops! Itchy, but worth it.

In reply to Seth Riesling. Lol oh brother, if I wasnt laughing I'd be crying. We need better leadership all around up here, except coin news is great. I think KW is onto something with the returns but we really dont know how many people made returns. I think a big concern should be the missing COAs. The mint should withhold refunds until a complete return is made. They had that policy with the freebie coins in the yearly sets. I would say a COA is just as important to a complete set.

We’ve heard about missing COAs. Think that accounts for many returns? I don’t, given the refunds only, sold out/no exchanges situation.

Who the heck bought 515 of the 2019 Thomas Jefferson presidential silver medals at $65 each for 1 oz. of silver worth $26 and not even a Mint mark on the unlimited mintage medal??!! LOL
It was the #3 top seller last week at the Mint.

Or they could have been returned because they didn’t make the grade (MS-70, that is!)

Yeah the Mint does a good job of turning a profit into a double whammy. The enrollments are a good feature and definitely worth it, as you saw. I have just gotten an email that I now qualified for free shipping. What will the Mint do to rectify this discrepancy because Im sure Im not the only one overcharged for free shipping after 3 purchases.
