<p>[QUOTE="bama guy, post: 306611, member: 6154"]I believe the mint felt they left a lot of money on the table with the Gold Anniversary set last Year. Could have sold a lot more it seems. I am sure they did not want that to happen this year with the platinum sets. The mint has to sell coins at a profit by law. While they may have decided to increase their profit margin on these sets, the public is getting these sets at wholesale. The premium or mark up of these sets while it may seem high, is probably pretty low if you compare this to other "business" who are out there to make a buck. Remember after the first week the mint can change the purchase limit. </p><p><br /></p><p>As it has been said many times and many ways, collect what you like. This will probably be a very nice set. I wished the mint could have come up with some tamper proof packing that one could look at their coins and still would be acceptable to the main TPG graders. Of course that would have created a major conspiracy theory and would create more problems than it would solve but still this would have been nice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
