US mint doing a survey?

I received an email that claims to be from National Analysts Worldwide , saying they are doing the survey on behalf of the US mint. The email says.
"As a customer of the United States Mint, we would like to invite you to share your insights on potential new U.S. Mint products for 2014 by taking a brief survey. The United States Mint, Department of the Treasury, has commissioned National Analysts Worldwide, an opinion research company in Philadelphia, to conduct a survey about a variety of potential new products the U.S. Mint is considering for 2014."
is this a legit survey or a hacker scam?

Legit. They are continuously doing surveys.

 

Very much legit. I have completed two surveys online in the last two years. I am happy that the U.S. Mint would solicit my opinions.

I buy a lot of their "stuff." I seem to like their "stuff," too!

 

great! thanks guys. I'll have to put in my worth.

 

It took a long time, or seemed like it.

How likely are you to buy product x? Very unlikely.
Then the next page, How many of product x do you plan to buy? Zero!

The stuff about the Kennedy set was interesting though.

 

what did they list for the Kennedy?, which is probably the real reason for the survey.

 

Something along the lines about a 50th Anniversary Kennedy Half Dollar struck .999 Proof Gold, which they said would be around $1100-$1300.

What caught my attention was, they asked if i would be "more interested" in products struck in .999 Silver rather just .9. Of course i said yes.

And other questions about ASE's, Gold Buffalo's, 5oz ABT pucks, AGE's ect..

 

I always answer the opposite of what I really want.

Helps keep the mintages lower. If we all do that we might create a "winner".

 

I think that the surveys have some impact on the mint. I was quite upset when they use to require a signature on deliveries of the pucks. I'm rarely home and it was hard for me to get the pucks with a required signature. I complained to a survey and they now deliver without signature. It could be just plain luck but I'll give them credit for listening to the working man.

 

I've done a couple too and almost got invited to an in person survey but did not qualify as I was not purchasing gold coins at the time of the survey.

 

They also do focus groups. I was in one about 18 months ago - paid us $150 for 90 min of our time to provide feedback on what kind of products we were interested in and what kind of emails and mailings would be more appealing.
