The two-for-one special has no household ordering limits. Sales quantities, however, are limited to in-stock inventory.

The .9999 fine 24-karat gold coins are struck in the collector finish of proof. Proofs are the U.S. Mint’s highest quality coin. They feature frosted foregrounds and mirror-like backgrounds. (As an example, see more photos of a 2017 American Liberty gold coin.)

Both coins share the same designs and major specifications, with key differences between their sizes, denominations, and edges.

Bought one back in 2017. Sold it this year for the 2022 Gold proof Sovereign set. Made a profit on it but seems this one wasn’t as popular. Need to get rid if them some how

SENZA

Old News !

Here is New News and the payoff for the work I do exposing corruption at the US Mint.

Ohoh. SENZA must be really mad now. He brought out the dreaded caps lock! oh no! Run! Just kidding, I am still here. This has to be your most pointless posting yet. Bonus: a spelling error in the meme! Keep it up SENZA, you are doing great!

Are you sure about that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because the evidence says exactly the opposite; but that’s the problem with your illness – you can’t differentiate from the lies, fantasies and reality – please, please get some professional help

08-06-2022_015.jpg
SENZA

And just to keep it Coin relevant here is a token of my appreciation.

08-06-2022_018.jpg
Jeff Legan

Keep it, it applies to you more than anyone else on this site.

Jeff Legan

SENZA,
I have gotten the impression over the past few years of observing your comments that you could choose to be an asset here. You seem to be computer literate, and you know a lot about online selling. Instead, you are just an ass(et phone home, SENZA does not want you here.).

Jeff Legan

I am pretty easy going, so even now I would have no problem with his presence if he could refrain from throwing personal insults around. While I think it is a shame you have deleted your comments in the past and just recently (please do not do that again), in SENZA’s case it might be best to start fresh. Or he can leave them up as an example for others. Whatever he chooses to do, really. We can even continue trading insults if he is still enjoying himself.

Jeff Legan

“monumental embarrassment”, “immature whining”, “no one wants or needs you here”–Spot on, Kaiser Wilhelm! Anyone other than SENZA disagree with Kaiser Wilhelm’s statement? If anyone thinks this is being totally unfair to SENZA, now would be the time to speak up.

Jeff Legan

Well, here we are two days later and nobody has come forth to defend your behavior, SENZA. Can you finally get the message?

SENZA

WoW an admission to what I have said all along – but I’m called a conspirator and said to be making it all up – yet here is everything I said coming to fruition AND you still can’t even get your imaginary friends to go along with your madness.

Get some help – you desperately need it

08-06-2022_001.jpg
Jeff Legan

Senza,
Nobody ever claimed you were wrong about Kaiser Wilhelm deleting his comments. Not that I saw, anyway. I am continuing to call bull on your “multiple personality” claim. Which I see you still cannot let go off. The person who needs help here is you, Insecure SENZA.

Jeff Legan

Yeah, I actually used a quote from “The Prisoner” the other day in reply to SENZA- “I am not a number…”. Well, I quoted it from Iron Maiden, but they got it from “The Prisoner”.

SENZA

Reminder – your are an irrelevant figment of Kaiser’s imagination

You are lower than his imaginary Major D

However, I left $5.00 on your Mom’s dresser and .25 cents is yours just to keep it coin relevant.

And to all of Kaiser’s imaginary friends please remember

08-02-2022_045.jpg
Jeff Legan

Speaking of irrelevant….
If I am lower than Major D, I am still looking down on you.
You sure that was not your mother’s own dresser? You do not even know what state my mother’s dresser would be in. Everyone knows you are a liar now, nevermind how unoriginal that little mother bit was. Are you sure you are not a teenager masquerading as an adult on this site?
And yes, yes, we all know by now you contain more crap by volume than anyone on the planet. Are you having fun?

Jeff Legan

My favorite era of aviation is the WWI era. There is an aerodrome in Rhinebeck, NY that I found worth visiting.

SENZA

Internet bullying is a crime and we have detected your discus account with your additional imaginary friends – it’s all coming unraveled for you

  1. Imaginary Friends
  2. Memories that are not real
  3. Incorrect belief that you are someone historically important
  4. erasing and denying your past
  5. Hiding your past actions
  6. making accusations that are clearly FALSE
  7. Blaming everyone but yourself – it must have been the trolls.

SENZA, you may think you are helping your cause here. You are just letting everyone else see how pitiful you are. Nothing like doubling down on childish behavior to prove how superior you are, right SENZA? Do you realize you are actually proving the opposite? Do you not even see that? You must be at least as old as I am, based on your past comments. You should have outgrown this type of behavior long ago. How come you have not? What part of laying off the insults do you still not get, SENZA? And you sure do love those… Read more »

No. 3, I am. As a coin collector, I’m preserving the past for the future. That’s important.

I’m a GRUNT since 1963. In my opinion anyone who finds fault with any PURPLE HEART recipient in a public place, like a public soap box, should hold that opinion close to their heart, until the guy who was wounded for life -or worse, _died so you could have time to mature your opinion. Your opinion will season as time moves on and your brain becomes fully developed. If you find fault with any of us who EARNED The Purple Heart, you didn’t spend enough time trapped on 3 sides by VC doing their best to KILL YOU. A. Lincoln… Read more »

Jeff Legan

I did not understand where this came from until I read Kaiser Wilhelm’s reply to you. I have been closely following the comments here as of 8/1 and did not see any fault finding by anyone but SENZA here (or do you think constructive criticism is “finding fault”? They are actually different.)–until I started returning his insults to sender. So you are implying SENZA has a Purple Heart. That would his explain his rage but does not excuse it. I thank you and SENZA for your service. You might want to take a look at all of SENZA’s comments back… Read more »

Jeff Legan

Hi Kaiser Wilhelm, While I am leaning towards your explanation, I do find it possible SENZA was complaining about his woes to his war buddy who made an appearance here to defend his old comrade-in-arms (how different a person SENZA probably was, young and without the wound induced rage coursing through his veins now. Assuming any of it is true, that is. SENZA does not have a lot of credibility with me right now, but I am not ready to brand him a 100% liar). The great thing is if he is real, he will either have to (1) go… Read more »

Jeff Legan

Hi Major D, It is bizarre. Thanks for all this info. I am still not 100% sure he is a total liar, but with your new info, I am definitely closer than I was just an hour ago. I was just thinking to myself a few hours ago how nice it will be when this is over. I do not usually post this often, or check the site this many times a day. I often do not look at all on weekends. When this is over, SENZA will have either re-joined Humanity, or left this site. Either one is ok… Read more »

Jeff Legan

I do not blame you, Kaiser Wilhelm. I can afford to be nicer to him because he has done no damage to me. I have reached the point you have reached with SENZA in the past, but only twice in my life. And long ago. At least 30 years ago for the last one.

Jeff Legan

Maybe it is his own business. He used it because it was a different address. Wouldn’t that be funny.

I feel like I’ve walked into a raging bar fight. I have no idea what is going on, and certainly don’t wish to join the melee. However … as an outsider looking in, I notice a lot of posts inevitably include political messages/memes. You US folk have an amazing talent at making everything about politics … and if someone is wearing the wrong colour tie, you instantly make your mind up about what sort of person they are, and that you can’t be friends. Why you would personally feel closely aligned to any politician is absolutely mind bending. They are… Read more »

Jeff Legan

Hi Daniel, thanks for your input. I think it was constructive. The only part I have slightly different view on is I do not care if someone here veers off topic occasionally, even into religion or politics, but we should never throw any personal insults into the conversations. Unfortunately, I think part of the reason our political sides do not get along anymore is because we have always been told we cannot talk about those subjects. I have been hearing this since my youth and I would say I have disagreed with it since I was about 17 (over 4… Read more »

Jeff Legan

Hi Major D, it will inevitably come up again here eventually. Unless it is banned. I really do not want to get into banning subjects here. Nothing I have ever said here was blocked, I kind of like that feature. And I think it is a feature, not a bug. Can we self-police? That is kind of where my no insult stuff is coming from. We will never heal our country until we can all talk about these subjects in a civilized matter. I think removing insults from the equation will go a long way towards keeping both sides talking… Read more »

Jeff Legan

I did think your hostile workplace statement made earlier was fitting. Hmm, I would say political talk without insults would not be trolling, so nothing to do there. But if trolling always resulted in a reminder from any regular poster that sees it that personal (maybe no?) insults are not allowed on this site, I would imagine the majority would comply. Some quicker than others. I would like to think that poster’s of any political party or religion (or lack thereof) here could agree that a “no Insult” policy of some type is a good way to create a site… Read more »

Jeff Legan

Do not worry, Kaiser Wilhelm. All good. This is a healthy conversation, not an unhealthy one. You can be sure this will be a germane subject in the future here eventually, so it is good we are discussing it now. Perhaps if this was discussed in the past SENZA’s behavior would not have grown to be such a problem. I promise that if we just cannot agree in the end I will not get angry. Not like I will be bringing up politics or religion much, anyway. I believe I do not post too many starting posts in general, I… Read more »

Daniel

Just an interesting side note to something you said. In Australia, we too have a conservative and liberal party. I should say “we HAD”. The two sides of politics have actually drifted so far to the center, that we no longer have a left and right. The are in effect replaceable, without any disruption to the economy, government and associated processes. sure, the vocal extremes on both sides are still noisy … but the vast majority of the population are happy. We recently had a change in government, and my dyed in the wool conservative voting father was more than… Read more »

REB

Might be time to start collecting Australian coins as a first step to moving there.

Jeff Legan

We sure have covered a lot of ground today. Thanks for contributing. Your first post set off quite a flurry of replies. I cannot believe how much time I have spent on this site today. Gotta be a record for me. It has been nice chatting with you, Daniel. Take care.

REB

Agree here. Stick to coins. Ignore the rest.

Jeff Legan

Thanks for your input, REB.

Rich

Sir Kaiser, I wish there was something I could say to help in this trying situation, but alas, What’s Words Worth. I feel bad for what has happened here and hope tomorrow ushers in a new day. But mostly I am saddened to know how deeply you’ve been hurt. You are the voice, heart and soul of this site’s commentary. If not for you, I never would have posted my first comment here because I saw how positive, supportive and encouraging you were to everyone. As I loudly said many months ago, Sir Kaiser Rules!

I feel exactly the same Rich. You said it all so well. Sir Kaiser Rules!
Take that SENZA!

Jeff Legan

Thanks Kaiser Wilhelm! And on that high note, I will call it a night.

Here for coin collecting.
And how to navigate purchases on the U.S. Mint website. 2021…ugh.
Mint purchases go well? Credit the Mint.
Mint purchases go FUBAR, bureaucrats should be accountable.
So, I say so.
I also like the peeps who post “how many coins” are actually made.
Why? I’m interested in low mintage totals. Maybe you are, too. I love data.

If site drifts deep into anything but coins … gone.

Jeff Legan

Hi J S,
Thanks for your take. I think we are in agreement. I do not mind occasionally going off topic. I do not think that qualifies as “deep”. Please do not hold the last 7 days of comments against me because I have been dealing with SENZA. Not a lot of coin topics there, though I did squeeze some in.

joera

If we keep our minds and thoughts on what most of us come here for, NUMISMATICS, we would not regret our own comments and in return the comments of others. It’s like the butterfly effect, one thing leads to another and do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Now I’m posting off the subject. So who am I to say anything about our comments. I’m a person who wants to grow, learn and expand his knowledge on different subjects. But on this site I want to keep it on the subject at hand and not be… Read more »

Jeff Legan

Another great post, joera.

joera

Jeff, Thanks for your replies and you can address me as Joe. No problem. I hope this hobby continues to be something you enjoy for many years to come and be proud of your collection. Best Wishes, Joe

Jeff Legan

Thanks for the kind words, Joe. Best Wishes to you as well. I read your comment to Kaiser Wilhelm, your opinions are as valid as anyone else’s here and I was glad to hear them. This is supposed to be your site, too. Your comments came at just the right time to help us neutralize SENZA. I hope you will eventually decide to change your mind and comment again in the future. Perhaps when we are mostly talking about coins here again. Take care of yourself, Joe. I enjoyed our conversation.

joera

It’s none of my business what you or anyone else feels about other people on this site. But enough is enough. Don’t feed it. Go back and read all the comments, just on this page. All of them, even yours. See how long it takes you just to read them. And as you go along keep track of how many comments are about our hobby, and how many, IMHO, are useless insults and name calling. Someone else came along and read the comments and thought they walked into a “bar fight!” A real bar fight would be better because it… Read more »

Jeff Legan

Hi joera, Thanks for your latest contribution. A bit of difference on your bar fight part of it, though. A bar fight would not be better because the only blood spilled here is virtual. Everyone gets to go home from here at the end of the day (assuming they ever left their home, that is). SENZA would never make it out of the bar alive if this was in the real world, it would be the whole bar against SENZA. Hell, even the bartender would probably join in. Maybe even the owner. While I doubt SENZA will take the right… Read more »

I have been coming here for years on and off and have seen people come and go but I have not seen anything close to what it is today. I’ve been collecting since my late 20s and learning all the time from other collectors. That is why I used to read all the comments. There’s always someone that is going to disagree with someone else but as far as all the name calling and insults, never like this. Most of the users here I do not remember from past years. I have used other names besides joera but all include… Read more »

Jeff Legan

Thanks for sharing some of your personal history as well as your history with this site, Joe. I will continue to call you Joe instead of joera in the future unless you tell me different next time you post a reply to me. When I was young I preferred competition to cooperation, trying to figure out how I compared to others in my abilities. As I grew older, I steadily lost my faith in religion, and I steadily gained a respect for the value of an individual’s life in the here and now rather than in the hereafter. The more… Read more »

I have been here and I have seen all the comments going back many years. I have seen people come and go and there are some users that I actually do miss and wish I would have exchanged contact information with them. I took a hard look in the mirror and you are right. I have no right to say anything to you or anybody else on this site. If I don’t like it then I shouldn’t even be here. I just have one more comment to post and that will be the last you hear from me. Thanks for… Read more »
