I hope Keets is not annoyed with another of my inane threads about CW 
. In the most recent issue, there was a letter to the editor. I don’t know why, but when I first read it (and every time since), I actually chuckled out loud because I could just see this happening. I definitely feel bad for the guy (if he is a board member here I apologize for seeing some humor in this obviously very serious issue). What is the purpose of writing to the editor of CW to tell them about opening a package from the mint? Here is an excerpt from the letter:
“I recently received my Silver Proof Set from the US Mint Fulfillment Center. The Presidential dollars were not even sealed in a plastic container. When I removed them from the box, the Presidential dollars slid out of the plastic and onto the floor. I was left holding the plastic container split open.”

I concur that there is something amusing about the mental image of the guy standing there, holding the plastic container, looking at the coins on the floor. I also agree with how foolish it is to send such a rant to CW. Rants like that should be posted here, on these boards.

that should be posted on the US MINT forum.

It's to the point where the only thing I check in it is the CRO ad.

Hehe. While I do look through the rest of CW, the first thing I typically look for is the CRO ad. Those guys must have got all As in Marketing 101.

I do the same thing. I don't know how much they're paying their advertising director, but they should give him a raise.

And they should fire their circulation manager, I'm lucky to get every other issue, I won't be renewing my subscription. Numismatic News may not have as much in it but it does show up every week!
