<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2460360, member: 80121&quot;]The mint only sent one per address or credit card. A friend got the same e-mail and ordered one to be sent to his home, and using the same credit card and number one to be sent to his daughter&#039;s house. The Mint cancelled both orders. I don&#039;t know how people got more than one. The only possible way is to use a different address and ask that person to use their credit card/ debit card and pay them back. The 2015 is doing well on the secondary market (it&#039;s only going to be made for 2015 &amp; 2016, but the 2015 had a mintage of only 4,000). It&#039;s like the Stock Market- &quot;You pay your money and take your chance that you guessed right&quot;. I think the difficulty in getting more than one is why these companies offered the $100 over purchase price for the coin, if there was an easier way they would have used it and saved the $100 bucks. I&#039;ve heard that the bigger companies have their employees order the coin from their home address and use their own credit/debit card. The larger the company, the more they can get into stock to sell.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes it takes time for the coin(s) to be worth buying. Look at the 2006 Silver Eagle Set, it&#039;s selling (not being offered) for $1000 for the three coin set in PR/MS70. That set had a mintage of 250,000 and the Mint sold it for $100. Now the 4 piece Kennedy Set is not doing well. Dealers are selling the raw set for the Mint issue price of $100, it has really tanked, but maybe in the future it will do better.</p><p><br /></p><p>It still blows my mind that people are paying $4,000 to $5,000 for the 1994W Silver Eagle with a mintage of 32,000+. It&#039;s a bullion coin for God&#039;s sake, not even a collectable coin. I&#039;ve said it before- Mintage, eye appeal and most of all, the perceived demand for a coin sets its price. Coin companies and coin shows can make a coin seem like a very good buy, but when people go to sell it to their friendly neighborhood coin store, they&#039;re in for a very unpleasant surprise.</p><p><br /></p><p>There I go again, to long a post, sorry, I&#039;ll stop babbling now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
