<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 4993975, member: 101855&quot;]The solution is the mint should make and sell the number of coins demanded, with a pre-set limit of say 100,000, for a specified period of time. There would a per customer sales limit of one to five. Whoever wants one has a chance to buy it. The end of the ordering period or quantity limit would end the sales. </p><p><br /></p><p>This system would create some naturally low mintage items, like the Jackie Robinson $5 gold pieces. At the same time it would fair to collectors. </p><p><br /></p><p>Limiting the mintage to 1,945 coins is garbage. When the mint blew it in the distribution of its offerings the first time around, it could be called a mistake. Now it’s just collector abuse. My reaction is to walk away almost completely (I still do buy the annual silver Proof sets.) unless it happens to be something I find appealing. Even then, if they are going to play games, I will say that I was not meant to add it to my collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
