    Plastic containers are empty?
    What is money, in reality, but dirty pieces of paper and metal upon which privilege is stamped?

    I would guess the sell has alzheimers

    because the 1972 mint sets did not have IKES

    Wait. You mean the seller is lying? Say it ain't so.

    Exactly what sinin1 said. The 1972 (and the 1971) mint sets were not issued with IKEs! That really irritates me. If you are going to make something up, at least make it somewhat believable.

    With respects to Argent...

    LIAR (Russ Ballard)
    I won't ever leave-while you want me to stay
    nothing you could do-that could turn me away,
    hanging on every word-believing the things I heard
    being a fool.

    You've taken my life-so take my soul
    that's what you said-and I believed it all
    I want to be with you-long as you want me to
    I won't move away.

    Ain't that what you said, ain't that what you said,
    ain't that what you said?
    Liar-Liar-Liar*

    May I see no night-may I see no day,
    If I ever leave-while you want me to stay
    You can believe in me-I won't be leaving, I won't let you go.

    Ain't that what you said, ain't that what you said,
    ain't that what you said?
    Liar-Liar-Liar*

    *Liar-Liar-Liar
    Liar-Liar-Liar

    I'm going to email him just for shxts and gigglesimage


    Here's what I sent the seller:

    As I'm sure YOU'RE aware, 1972 Eisenhower dollars DO NOT come in mint sets. Your item description is in error.

    How come I didn't get a response?image

    He did change his description:

    1972 IKE roll in a square tube. These IKE coins came from US Rolls of IKE Dollars. They are Brilliant Uncirculated coins directly from the mint without ever being in circulation

    Because I'm such a lovable guy. Auction now says:

    If we want to pick nits, this description is in error as well. The Mint didn't supply rolls and did not deal directly with the public for these coin so he could not have gotten them directly from the mint. They would have had to go from the Mint to the Fed, possibly to Brinks, then to his bank and finally to him. So the most direct route from the mint to him still has to go through at least two and possibly three others before they get to him.

    you guys are too quick - I was going to ask him if he had any more of those 1972 mint sets with IKES, as I have been looking for one a long time - and would give him $50 for one
