You are buying a collectible, and not currency meant for circulation. It’s not price gouging in the least.

And great to hear from you too Kaiser! There were only 6,000 of those commemorative $50 bills and collector’s notes. It was the first time I REALLY tried to order early … not just to make sure I got one but hopefully one ending in a 38 or 39 (the ages of Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins). And I almost did it. I got S/N xxxxx35.

I haven’t posted here for quite awhile. I’ve been busy reliving youth with my near-9 year old (one and only) grandson. My wake up call was that his other grandpa passed away suddenly … and I want to make sure both of us enjoy each other while we can. But if you’re only going to have one grandchild, we were blessed with the best: smart, incredibly good looking, athletic, and extremely polite (like his dad but fortunately not like me).

I’m in the final stages of planning to see The Total Solar Eclipse At Sea on April 8, 2024 aboard The Discovery Princess. It’s a very personal thing on my bucket list and I apparently am the only person ever to get Princess to change a cruise itinerary to do it. Seems that I’ve been accused of being able to sell a fur coat to a Polar Bear ….

I know you’ve been taking care of personal business too. So for the others that are beyond bored, forgive me while I just wanted to catch up with an old friend.

Being an Aerospace Engineer (by formal training) I just had to have it. But I think it was $75 or more! Talk about paying a lot for currency that was losing value every day!!
I did it for the history. I’m glad I got it. But to this day I feel gouged for paying that much for it. And it would have to be something extremely special for me to do it again.

So the Mint added a $10 markup for the privilege of buying the bills from them.

The prices listed are not all correct in this article…the $480 item listed here is $490 on the Mint’s website.

Kaiser,

In the real world, they should be selling these ‘uncut notes’ for a slight discount to us, after all we’re saving them the extra cost of having to put them through the cutting machine. Only in gubmint do they add an additional fee for the opportunity to purchase uncut notes.

And that’s supposed to be what…a good thing?

It is less than the mint’s markup
