May I assume that your supplier is in Europe?

No, he is in the US.

If your supplier is in the U.S., he may have decided that the costs
and risks of shipping one or two low-value coins overseas are just
not worth it. A lot of international shippers have given up because
of all the hassle.

I have had no problems obtaining the state quarters from him. I
always
ask for such things in addition to another order. Moreover, I pay the
shipping cost and it is on my risk. I order with him about twice a
year
and never had any difficulty with hassle of whatever form.

One idea I thought of after responding to your original post is that the
first round of Presidential dollars contained three of our best-known
Presidents - Washington, Jefferson, and Madison. After that, popularity
quickly falls off, until, after Jackson, there is a long run from Van Buren
to Buchanan that are not only relatively unknown, but not particularly
revered. Here in the U.S. I overhear a lot of negativity about this whole
project, and perhaps your supplier has decided not to go to the trouble to
carry Harrison, Tyler, Polk, and Taylor for 2009. Other than that, I'm out
of ideas.

Why would you ask here where people can only guess?

ASK YOUR SUPPLIER!

You're assuming that no one here knows anything about the situation, that
Dik has the time to compose a question and get it to his supplier, and that
his supplier will take the time and incur the expense to send a response,
all within the framework of a "no sale" communication. I see no problem
with asking people who live in the homeland of the coins in question what is
going on, especially when the effort to ask is as little as it is on rcc.
Some of us actually do know something.

Dik complains about not understanding posts about US politics, Dik
complains his dealer won't sell him coins, Dik complains and complains.
Welcome to my killfile, Dik-head!

Well, one problem could be that you expect readers of this NG to be able
to read your coin dealer's mind.
Another could be your over-inflated sense of entitlement.
Then again, it might just be that you are a jackass.


Might be. On the other hand he has provided me with state quarters (upto
and
including 2008) and the 2007 president dollars.


Please don't feed the TROLL!

The only one who knows exactly why he is having trouble getting them through his
particular supplier is HIS SUPPLIER.

An email to his supplier is just as easy as posting here for SWAGs, and the only way
to get a verified answer.

OK, Dik, the Oracle has spoken. Better do what he says.

I made no "claims" whatsoever. All of my explanations were couched in
phrases of uncertainty ("it's possible"), tentative adverbs ("perhaps"),
and conditional verb forms ("if so...would have to buy", "may be", "may I
assume"), as opposed to the indicative mood, which is used to state facts
and express certainty. One who is even marginally fluent in the English
language will recognize the difference between fact and supposition when he
sees this type of grammar and syntax. If you wish to go up against a person
who spent his entire professional life teaching the subtleties of oral and
written expression to high school and college students, lay on. I'm ready
for whatever you've got.
