I have to update my first post. At CostCo, pork ribs are now $5.69 lb. Last week they were $4.99 lb. and last year they were $2.49 lb.! Tofu is beginning to look very appealing, no? Why Gold and Silver are down makes no sense to me.

I do, and also remember the Marlboro Man

I wonder how many remember the ‘Doublemint Twins’ from that Wrigleys chewing ‘.gum’ commercial? “Doublemint, Doublemint, Doublemint gum.”

It’s actually a scale model of the Mint’s very own Stargate. Exclusively for use by extra-special, VERY Advanced Purchasers.

yep, they be bullion.

The U.S. Mint allocated and charged a premium to the very last boxes of the Type 1 Silver Eagle and the very first boxes of the Type 2 Silver Eagle. This set is certified by ANACS to have come out of those last allocated of the type 1 and first allocated of the type 2
– Both coins certified PERFECT MS70 by ANACS with “First and Last Minted 2-Coin Set” designation

Coin Vault has the MS70 2 coin Final T1 First T2 Multi Holder for the astonishing low price of $229.98.

Or you can get them in single slabs from Mezack for $299.95

get ’em while they last folks!

Kaiser,

We are.

I’m talking about the above mentioned 400,000 bullion coins the mint has so graciousily set aside for the AP’s.

I figure I’ll be racing you to get the ASE 2 coin reverse proof set. Just kidding, I hope all that try to get it are successful. Besides, as much as I want it, if I don’t get it, Oh well……. C’est la vie

Mark D.,
While I’ll be re-evaluating what I purchase from the mint and it what quantities, I will still get those coin sets that I use to continue my collections of the various denominations. Since I crack the Unc, Clad, and 1 of the 2 silver sets I get, it is the easiest and least expensive way for me to do that.

Question, though. Since I have never bought a slabbed modern coin (post 1965) from anyone and never will, is that the same as a boycott or just plain common sense?

LT,
Good going. However,…
