That’s all it is they buy them then try to make 3 to 4 more than their worth,Gold is Gold and Silver Is Silver, It don’t change just because of the Design of a coin.

Kaiser, nice reference to The Wizard of Oz!

Yes Kaiser, it just goes to show:
All that you really need to know in life – you are taught in childhood tales & stuff like the line Thumper’s mother quoted. Also, think Aesop’s Fables.

The line ‘A penny saved, is a penny earned’ is also worthy advice, so I will pass on this Thursday’s release of the gold 4-coin mint set that is priced at $5K.

Kaiser –

Das ist sehr lustig!
Here in the Southern USA (Texas where I live, included), we have a saying when trying to be polite in an awkward area of discussion about others we may not care much about – “Well, Bless Her/His Heart!” will get you out of any such situations quickly. Lol.

I actually have a mini-sanctuary in our yard where we have healthy population of blue jays, cardinals, cat birds, black caps, house wrens, carolina wrens, finches, woodpeckers, squirrels and chipmunks. Some of the chipmunks will take the nuts from my hand. To observe them is so calming.

I remember hearing that line from a guy who lived in Cosby, Tennessee decades ago!

Kaiser, I would like to do that, but because I am a working stiff I have to deal with Management.

And as long as the Mint continues to issue irresistible shiny objects, many of us are drawn like a moth to a flame, even though the Mint continually burns us.

I must be part squirrel, because I can go through a pound of pistachios nuts like in a week! And don’t even get me started on seeds…Pepitas, shelled.

Indeed Sir Kaiser, indeed… What you say is so true. And we won’t give up trying because once in awhile we may just get lucky and score one of those impossible to get, very low mintage, highly desired, instant modern day rarities manufactured my the Mint and fought for online at the very second they go on sale on release day. Every now and then, even a blind squirrel finds a nut.
