well I just ordered a couple.
A mintage of 5,000 was appealing ... though I don't think it's a good investment. What members of the aboriginal community will be able to pay overs for this in years to come?

Would imagine Dealers, I don't see them on the RAMint site but they are on dealers sites. Just guessing.

I was referring to the proof and circulating pack in the second link

I like a business strike one, in a card without the bag marks but it looks like the only way you can get it is by buying a silver proof.

I have no idea why I bought these.
Its a sickness. I must be stopped.

If you don't know the we don't know either.

Why not try changing your forum signature? It is either a symptom of your sickness or, possibly, the cause. :blink:

It's a worthy theme.

I got three of the baggies myself, plus 3 $1 and $2 mint bags.
