Hi. First im not putting up ten coins. The set herd round the world. Do you remember that day? I do August first. I thought this was going to be easy . The mintage was 225,000. I did not get through so i gave up. Now not only the phones and the net. In less than than ten minutes it became currently unavailable. Ten minutes one of the problems no limit!! Now almost three hours to go before the the ANA worlds fair of  money in Denver would have a chance to buy there sets.At the mints booth a line formed as soon as ANA members were admitted at 2:30 p.m E.S.T..  and the first person bought 20 sets.          The mint did have an indavidual order limit of 500. So they went and got carts for those who whoud need them. Now the mint had brought enough sets to the ANA that collectors were still buying even after they closed five hours later!! On line and phone gone! Some sets were sold at the Denver Mint the Philadelphia mint and the mint in Washington.. Now there was no house limit and a five hundred at the show. They were every where!! Even though the mint apparently set aside a large quanity of sets for sale exclusively at the show. They began to hear some of the .same old complaintt they had heard at other blockbuster releases long lines and our friends the dealers orders. After massive dealers orders the word got out sold out on line           Let me tell you they knew this wouod happen. The collectors have had enough. The coins all had the S mint mark. And had a spexial laser frosting that gave them a matte and somtimes a proof look. Now the third party graders were ready with there special label. I forgot the price. 29.95.   Nownwe know the set became unavailable on line within minutes of going on sale on August I,  by early August 3rd several large orders had been cancelled! That changed the status to avalible. It remaned avalible till August 7 th by the 14th it was again listed as unavable only to be avable two days later!!         So lets cut to the chase by August 13th an additional 5796 sets were sold. What happened. ? By August 20th the mint adjusted there figures douwn by 12,273 for a total of 211,273 sets sold many were said to be poor quaility. Thousands of collectors went what they call rage quitting . I have done that. Now i could point out everything that went wrong but that would take another blog. Now this happened in 2017. Look what they have done since. They dont learn. They love there dealers. This article was written by a staff writer for Coin World. I would love to have his name. He broke this open. All the mistakes. Taken care of dealers. Not only did dealers have there orders they had people at the show buying five hundred . I would like to thank him. He had the courage to show all the mistakes. The mint not knowing what wa going on. We have them we dont have them wait!! Totaly unprepared no limits. This happens all the time. They do not sell just on line but they would sell them in a candy store. Now if you want to buy this set. Its on ebay. All of them. But i still like the finish. I did wht my friend said wait you will get them for nothing he was on the money. This did not have to happen. Not in this day and age. Its not a way to run a bussiness . It can ruin one. So now you know the truth of this set. All for.greed. Five hundred at the show. Non on line or phone. I thought the mint would learn from this. I was mad as heck. But they didnt. Will they ever? I doubt it. Stay healthy stay home this virus is still out there. Mike.

Hi everone. I was hoping the mint would consider relasing these Quarters for at least two months. First listen to what they tell us. Mask,gloves, stay six feet away from others. There are good reasons for this. Your life. These quarters should be released when the situation gets better. Not now. Stay home. Take my word what i saw turned my stomach. This is very serious. Wait please. Young kids and now middle age people along with old folks like me are not worth it. Think of youself in a hospital bed with your lucky quarter in your hand. Am i trying to scare you. You better believe it. Do not get complacent.         Complancy will get you sick. Oh i wont get it not me. There baried  thousands all over the world who said that. Dont you get that attitufe. Follow the most important important rule STAY HOME ! There are pleanty of things to do. If a quarter gets in the house from your parents food shoping . Consider your self lucky. Read the  sign when you go into the forest. No Hunting. Listen you can do anything you want. But if someone gets this looking for a quarter i seriously hope you get to tell us how.. You make the dexision. And you will have to live with it. What if you bring it home to yiur parents? That will make you feel real good. Dont think it hasnt happened. Dont worry there are pleanty to go arround. They will be there in two months. Save a life .. Yours.
