you can put me in for $10.00 minimum. My wife and I are expecting our first child any day now and maybe I can have him make the dontation when he is born
Lope, maybe you can set up your forum profile and include your email there -- at least until you are done fundraising. Might save you a bunch of keyboard time...
Thanks again for doing the legwork on this!

Hey good job, send me the pm so I can throw in $10., will be interesting to see what you get...My local Sheriffs Dept. charges me $250.00 for every FOIA and all I get is a few pages of records and a 1/2 hour video tape...Maybe the Mint will throw in some popcorn and a 2 Litre of Pop?
Maybe the Mint will throw in the footage from the minting floor when they screwed up?
Thanks for all the help! My paypal has already topped $100 with several more pledges and a few coming in the mail. Will keep you all posted! You guys and girls rock!
wouldn't that be nice.. but since there are what, three times that many in slabs, roughly.. anyone got a total (ya don't have to break it down by company).. of how many TOTAL are known to have been slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, ICG, SEGS, and the bottom feeders?.. i'm biting my fingernails up to my knees waiting to find out what's in that FOIA report.. so c'mon you people who haven't thrown at least five bucks at Lope (i PayPalled him last night).. cough it up.. what's five bucks?.. a gallon of gasoline, a pack of cigarettes, ONE cup of acid at Starbucks.. there's a lot riding on this..
i'm curious.. how many of you actually believe in your guts that the Mint shipped all 47,000 they claim they made?..
how many believe they actually made 47,000?.. how many believe in the Easter Bunny?..
Thanks Harv

If you still need some dough, count me in for $10.00 - I will have to pay by paypal so PM your paypal address. I like this kind of stuff!!!!

P.S. Just a heads up on that microsoft live search deal. There is currently a set of 2 MS 70 (NGC) gold spouse coins for sale on Ebay for $995.00. It is a Martha Washington and an Abigail Adams. Once you take the 20% off it is a pretty good deal. Is there any reason a person wouldnt jump at that opportunity? The seller initially had the two coins as separate auctions and I emailed him to group them together as to maximize the cashback offer.

I would be glad to send you the info if you turn on your Private Message function. It can be changed by clicking the "profile" button at the top of the screen.
I would just as soon send it directly to you rather than letting PayPal any part of it but if you feel more comfortable using PP (sounds like something a toddler calls his @#*@%@), I will send it that way.
By the way, did you request their rates for doing the FOI? Generally, they are suppose to be reasonable and nominal as not to discourage people from seeking the information but at the same time keep crack-pots from abusing the system.
I wonder if you would have to file another FIO to have them itemize and document the cost to do the search.

<< <i>that fee is a LOT higher than what I expected it might be.. >>
To be honest i thought it would be a lot higher... like a grand to throw Lope off and discourage him....just crossed my mind.
By the way ...wheres Tony?

I don;t think the US Mint has any reason at all to discourage these types of searches especially if they are getting paid to conduct them.
At this point, it appears that the records have been obtained and are simply awaiting proper payment before they are released.

"Why not give those who contribute to the cost a 1 week heads up or preview of the FOI findings??"
That would be the real capitalist way to do it.
