    ...why do u think any of those "blanks" r important?...how would any of that information add anything to the individual collector who mite want to buy or not buy one of those coins?...its like wanting to know what ur next door neighbor is doing about anything....

    ...the prerequisite to broadening, enlightening n revealing is that one has to have something to start with, perhaps there's an aide in the checkout line at the local grocery store...i dont think peter griffin has been taken yet....

    ...one has to acknowledge even doggie doo-doo on ones shoe lest one soil everything one treads upon even if its more doo-doo...sometimes one just buys a new pair of shoes....

    ...its simple...folks just dont need to know everything there is to know bout the availability or sources of coins...numismatics is not a community help program....

    ...same way all hobbies roll, not necessary a bad thing nor a good thing...not all discoveries need to or have to be shared for various reasons...individual hasnt finished looking for unreported varieties, maybe just likes his/her privacy, perhaps working on their own project, maybe just doesnt like the other person for good reason...not all knowledge has to be shared...i know some of the research i have assembled n unpublished will be very selectively shared n only when im ready to do so...the hobby can be social but doesnt have to be socialistic....

    ...i definitely like the 6 to 1 ratio...a lot of the hoarded gold most likely ended up in nazi hands, but im sure every one hoarded everything they could, question would be just what gold was available to hoard?...obviously the restrike roosters prob not hoarded since never really put into circulation...lots of diff corollaries to follow to try determine what mite have shown up in hoards etc...but sort of need to know what was there to start with....

    ...interesting..."true counterfeits" r such because there was intent to defraud, so dan carr's coins were never intended to defraud therefore can never be considered "counterfeits"...thanks for clearing that bit up....

    ...no it was basically that way for all of the bullion related issues, swiss francs, sovereigns etc etc...even if in mint state, the only time any significant premium over bullion melt was if very high grades or top pops, as u mention with the bp n taxes the end price would be at or slightly over bullion, but not all buyers pay the taxes so one can actually buy at or slightly below bullion...as i have often stated this series n many others that served as bullion place holders dont have a big collector base, there r a few registry set collectors n in the roosters some interest in the pre restike issues but its very minimal, thats one reason u see so many unslabbed mint state coins, if it doesnt slab top pop u dont recover ur certification costs otherwise ud see dealers slabbing a hundred at a time as bulk submissions but there r not that many collectors to buy the mid range uncs....

    ...couple of mint state roosters recently sold (bid) at heritage below melt...what can i say?....
