this was in my email today

Here we go again....I've been getting these at least once or twice a month in my email.

Next month you will see a number of ads being issued by the US Mint and other coin dealers advertising the 200th Anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase and the of Lewis and Clark Expeditions. You may have already seen some of the ads. There are two new nickels being released as well as a number of new proof sets.

Within the next week, you will receive a notice from us, The Coin Services Division of Bob Johnson's Centsles, announcing the release of a very special coin. This group of coins were lost, and because of their loss, President Jefferson was able purchase the Louisiana Territory. The loss of these coin created the USA we know today. This small group of coins are beautiful and are the highest graded known of all these special coins, yet the price is incredibly affordable.

I know a few of our customers have been having problems receiving our e-newsletters and our special notices, that's why I am personally sending you this e-mail. These coins are the most historically significant I have ever seen and I know you don't want to miss out. If you don't receive the notice on these coins that "Created America" by April 15th, 2004, make sure you call us toll free at 1-866-338-7441,or on our local line (952) 224-9852. One of our Numismatic Specialists will be happy to give you all the details, and will make any necessary adjustments to ensure you get our future e-newsletters. In order to acquire these coins for you, we had to agree NOT to offer these coins on any e-auction, or any national media outlets.

    You mean the mint is going to start re-issuing the previously lost, and now found 1804 half dimes? Good deal. Where do I get mine?

    I don't know the specifics as well as Centsles, but I do know that Napoleon sold the Louisiana Territory because he needed the money. It wouldn't surprise me if that was because he somehow and somewhere lost a pile of money, i.e., coins. So my guess is that Centsles will be offering Napoleon 20 Franc gold pieces.
