A mint employee was probably trying to score themselves one, good for you! Both the U.S and Canadian Mint have had rare coins taken by employees for over a century, and although back then I thank them for it so that we can learn about them now but stealing from a paying customer by sending roadblock after roadblock is disgusting behaviour

@@neontheking9988, 100% agree. I knew they either sold it from under me or gave it to someone. I kept records of my efforts and just kept moving forward. With of course the Mint Director as the final chance, and it paid off. She understood and took care of me. Definitely a happy camper here. Thank you for your support and kind words. Have a great weekend...

Keeping such a detailed ledger of ALL that transpired during that transaction should be a lesson to us all. Thank you for that teaching. Beautiful coin. Worth the trouble in my opinion.

Hah, you overruled the corporate bureaucracy by talking to the leadership, well done. This is the experience for most people with power and means most of the time, it's nice when the little guy gets a cut of that action.

Makes you wonder how many regular people get screwed by the Mint, just because so and so calls up and wants a coin but they're late to the party. I'll bet it's not uncommon. Anyway, all credit to Ventris, sorry Madame Director, for making it right.
