Mercury Dime 2016 Centennial Gold Coin
So, I was lucky enough to be be successful in ordering the Mercury Dime 2016 Centennial Gold Coin at the original time of offering. I was charged $205.00 plus tax for a total of $209.95. I believe it was yesterday the Mint announced they were putting back up the unsold dimes. As of this writing, they are going to charge $200.00 plus tax. I wouldn't usually get all bent out of shape over this amount of money but this is different. I grow weary of the US Mint sticking it to us collectors. What kind of shape are these dimes in? Were they sent out and returned? What about third party grading? Technically wouldn't they be within the first 30 days of release. After all they sold out within minutes and are now being put back up on the second day of sale?? No one knows!! I called the mint up and politely explained my situation and asked when I could expect receiving my refund on the pricing difference. I swear that the woman actually snickered at my request. She LAUGHED at me. How do you feel about this treatment and the entire Gold Centennial Coin Program! This is just my opinion. I could be wrong. Thanks for reading this blob/rant!!
