Cheers!

The longer you wait the less you can make . I collect only products from the US MINT . I buy direct from the mint as new product becomes available . I will admit Congress has taken away the oppertunity for bigger profit , But Coins in their ORIGINAL U S MINT packageing still retains and gains in value .Check out the US MINT online and see waht sells out,then look on eBay for the mark up .
