    “A roll of 25 coins will cost $61, and a bag of 100 will cost $154.50”

    I love that the per coin cost is either $2.44 or $1.545 depending on how many you buy, but spending them instantly puts you in the hole. LOL.

    So Trumpian!

      Buying collectors coins direct from the mint always costs more than face value. That’s nothing new or special.

      The mint violating the law to mint this as legal tender (since they claim they’ll be in circulation too) is the actual story.

        Coolidge did the same thing. It’s just a coin and within the norm for big anniversary years.

        He has so many crimes, this is so minor I’d rather focus on the corruption that you can’t opt out of. Just don’t buy the coin.

          Even though the crime itself doesn’t matter much, the fact laws are blatantly ignored fir him bothers me
