31 U.S. Code § 5112(i) gives the Treasury Secretary great discretion in issuing gold coins.

You get a little bit of everything there, due diligence is key.
Buyers, as well as sellers, can be the stupidest, and most dishonest people on Earth. Scam artists as well on both sides. I have had other sellers purposely shill bid my product all the way up to winning the item(to enhance their similar item),only to cancel that bid, or never pay up. Just flat out ignore the whole thing. Particularly when they create a new, false account. You block them? Full circle with a new account. Just part of the game you play with the dishonest creeps out there. Here’s a deal for you to entertain.!?..
A bonified, authentic Extra “V” 1C. You can clearly see the upside down “V” right there on the rim..Real deal right there!….

Sorry to hear of your experience with the mints rendition of quality silver products Kaiser. Maybe it’s Karma…a lot of that is going around these past few days. I wonder how many folks are going to shell out $150 for the silver proof set?

I actually appreciate the ‘air’ pockets in my bags of chips now. I’m old enough to remember when all you got in the old days were bags of crumbs and broken chips. (I’m not old enough to remember when they came in tin buckets, however, so maybe those were even better).

Sounds to me like corporate greed from over-paid CEO’s and wealthy board members was becoming an issue back then as well. As I recall so was inflation. Who do YOU think was to blame back then, CaliSkier?

I’ve never been a huge Morgan Dollar collector myself but spending $1200 with a seller with a (32) tranaction should also be red flag I would think. But that’s just me.

My financial boat has been rising very well in the last three years, thank you for the reminder.

Then Craig, you’d probably be unable to help me out on where I just might find a “Community Bank”? I’ve looked all over my town and other proximate locales and not a one. Shucks… Perhaps I should pen a letter to the White House and maybe they can assist? Damn it, my pen is out of ink. Shrinkflation strikes again! I wonder if Commune’s or Communist countries are where Community banks are located? After all, they have similar root spellings? Ponder…

Kudos Kaiser, I would too, and do!. No matter the preference of what the other guy has, yours is what’s most important to you, and only you. But I tell you what, I’d bet that I would like all of your coins too. Remember these below? I gave my ‘pocket change’ the special treatment, even at a $loss–just because..
