<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 371481, member: 9474"]<b>Very interesting thought</b> - and I am not implying that the mint did this intentionally, but think about how sales must have doubled ever since the variety was first mentioned in Coin World. There are people like myself who ordered two very early on, and then just ordered 5 more or Modernman who ordered 22 when he would have ordered just 10 or Sales Rep who wouldn't have even ordered at all until after he heard about the variety and now ordered two. Then there is Laura and Spock who both at least doubled their normal orders. Just between the 5 of us the mint has received <i><b>at least</b></i> 30 or more orders than expected - and this isn't including the countless number of other CT members who did the exact same thing. Heck, from a business stand point, each year the mint should pick an issue and just randomly insert an error or variety and let Coin World announce that an error or variety was found well into the middle of production and that only "X" number are expected to have been minted. Just think of the buying frenzy! </p><p> </p><p>Of course as I was typing this, the vision I got was what the baseball card industry did to try and increase sales. They randomly started to insert "autograph" cards or cards with a piece of a players shirt or other items in the packs and only limited them to an "X" number produced. I know I was buying hundreds of packs of baseball cards just to land the "lucky" card, when I probably would have only bought half of what I did. </p><p> </p><p>Just a little more than my two cents. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Joe[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
