I fear that the phone lines and internet will really be slow now. Instead of 1 person ordering 100 sets, he will enlist 10 people to order 10 sets for him. It's a no win situation for the simple collector no matter what the Mint tries. The person who normally orders many sets, will still get his many sets. Just more phone/internet time to do it. I sure hope I'm wrong and now everyone who wants a special set or coin will be able to get one. __________________ Just Another Hoosier WINS #337   03-22-2005, 02:08 PM   #5 (permalink) Bacchus Coin Duffer   Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: Seattle Posts: 977 My Mood: Maybe they'll be discouraged by greater shipping charges.   03-22-2005, 02:31 PM   #6 (permalink) sjnebay Senior Member   Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: PA Posts: 148 Waaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too little.

Personally I believe it's a step is a positive reaction to what has been going on with some dealers and would be promoters of coins. Now if they would implement some other changes in their mailing costs etc. things would be headed in the right direction. __________________ Experience is something you don't get, until just after you need it.   03-22-2005, 07:12 PM   #8 (permalink) jblaine10 Member   Join Date: Mar 2005 Posts: 40 Quick, I have to contact everyone I know and sign them up on the mint website (all with different addresses of course).
