    I stated loading up my cart this morning with all sorts of junk until I looked at the total - it was getting up to around $300+ image.

    Faster than spot dropping off a cliff I thought " to heck with all this useless junk". Delete. Delete. Delete.

    Maybe some other day. Maybe in a few years off eBay, at a hugh discount over US Mint current prices.

    Ditto. Last stuff I got from the US Mint was a set of the Jamestown 400th Anny coins that my wife bought for me.

    Thanks for reporting. It's old guys wanting things that causes me to buy. A woman came into the shop the other day and said she was getting Prezzie Bucks for her dad who's in his 80's. She can't get them at the bank anymore.

    Nothing. Down with NCLT. Up with genuine circulating medium of exchange.

    I've been buying the roll set of the ATB quarters..will take about 20 years to assemble but it's a long cheap challenge.

    In the old days I used to buy Proof sets from the mint, but I got some many sub par ones that I now go to my local dealer and buy them. He lets me assemble the best I can find (from the three holders).
