Chuck, I would agree with you if he had only made one or two, not ten or more. No mint makes more than one or two samples, including the US Mint.
Lastly he did not lose a thing, he could have recycled the metal, he could have sold the strikes at cost, he was out for the buttom line.
No matter what you say nor the committee who investigated this matter, is going to change my mind.

What is next, what is to stop this guy from getting his hands on silver strike dies or having dies made of rare strikes and minting a few to sell. I do not trust the guy nor will I ever, nor do I trust anyone who supports this guy. He should have been called on the carpet and removed
from the club. My final word.
