Who shot, who scored and who threw up an airball?

So, for the low low price of $300 one had the opportunity to purchase the 25th Anniversary Set of Silver Eagles from our beloved US Mint. That is, of course, if you had the direct dial number to one of your close friends who works at the Mint.

I loved the part where a knucklehead at the Mint said, whoops sorry, we STILL have not upgraded our programs so if you missed out tough .....BUT we will get it ironed out next time.

Didn't this happen with every other limited edition coin set sold by the Mint over the past decade? Did we not hear the same statement from them then as well? Don't bother looking it up because the answer to both questions is an absolute yes.

The Silver Eagle has been one of my favorites quite frankly. I love the design, the finish, the strike. My set of course was short only one Silver Eagle, I am sure you don't need to be told which one. Now it will be short these as well.

There is no way in hell I will buy any products from the Mint anymore. I could hardly be more disgusted with their continued lack of responsibility to those of us who have paid a premium over the years to pad their bottom line.

No more for me
