    Sucks Donut?
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    other PresBucks have been selling for two bucks each at the B+M

    Wonder what these will bring?
  • Looks like they have many children from different women
  • I don't get what I need from banks anyway, so everything is cool. (They cut off my home credit line a few years ago, so now I cut them off. Their loss.)

    A man came into the shop ...nevermind, you guys don't like my stories.

    Anyway because of that guy, instead of having a "ONE" roll subscription, I now must increase it to 5 image Maybe I should order 10. Then someone might write me up as a greedy pig, in Coin World for doing this, someday ? This could help take a little pressure off a few of the modern coin dealers.

    Why would you say this? As soon as they eliminate the paper dollar I expect to find all the
    rolls at my banks.

    They shouldn't be, but I imagine that they will crank up the interest in Proof sets, at least in the short run. I take they were get into mint sets as well???

    At any rate these things will still be made from the same old alloy that spots so easily. I imagine that a far number of the Proof coins will be delivered with spots just as they are today. These things really serve no purpose. Years ago the mint sold a “young collectors” set of presidential medalets that had more historical information on them. But at least these things do generate revenue through their sales to collectors.

    I'm wondering if the cost of minting these $$exceeds the value of them, their practical distribution, and their lack of use by the public.
    Just a thought, but then again the cost of minting pennies and nickels exceeds the identifying value of each.
    Then again, all of this seems like a pattern of governmental misuse of capital...literally.
