May I speak with (RESTORE CONTACT NAME)?

Hello, I'm (NAME) with (VENDOR) calling on behalf of the U.S. Mint. We are conducting research on how satisfied users are with coin purchases--I mean numismatic (NEW-MISS-MATIC) and commemorative coin purchases--not the coins you use for everyday purchases. I want to ask you about coins such as the annual proof, silver proof, or uncirculated sets; American Eagle proof, uncirculated or bullion (BULL-YUN) coins; American Buffalo 24K proof or bullion coins and commemorative coins and sets produced by the United States Mint. The purpose of the research is to help the U. S. Mint improve its services to you and people like you. Your opinions are very important for this research. Your name will be held completely confidential and never connected to your answers. Your participation is voluntary and you may stop at any time or skip any question you do not wish to answer. This interview will take 8-10 minutes and is authorized by Office of Management and Budget Control No. 1505-0191.
