    You should have seen the line at the Washington mint for those 3/4 oz gold franklin half dollars last week . I saw people in small field trip organizations that were herding people and paying them $100 to stand in line for a coin that cost $1240 . I was offered $200 above what I paid and declined . They only had 100 available Thursday am when I went for the adventure and you were only allowed 1 per person .
