<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Argento, post: 562888, member: 17165&quot;]I am rethinking what I believe will happen regarding the availability of the UHR.</p><p><br /></p><p>When the UHR per household policy was announced, the Mint stated explicitly that this would be re-evaluated weekly -- this message still remains on the UHR product page.&nbsp; Now that we see the current state of affairs, I am beginning to think the policy is permanent for the duration of this coin&#039;s availability.</p><p><br /></p><p>Take, for instance, the known difficulties in procuring sufficient blanks for legally mandated mintage of AGE.&nbsp; As far as we can tell, this isn&#039;t going to change anytime soon.&nbsp; Removing the 1-per-household policy on the UHR would presumably have the effect of ramping up production for those coins.&nbsp; Ramping up production in light of blank shortages in their other, legally mandated bullion offerings would make little sense.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now that the majority of the initial UHR&#039;s have been minted and shipped, demand has slowed to a trickle.&nbsp; Despite the reduced demand, the 1-per-household policy remains.&nbsp; It&#039;s possible the Mint wants to see a sustained lack of demand before it changes its policy but I am betting that if we don&#039;t see that change happen by the beginning of May, when many predict this current slack in overall demand for gold will hit bottom, then we won&#039;t see it happen at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I would like to see the 1-per-household policy remain in place.&nbsp; This would limit the mintage and ensure some form of rarity for this coin.&nbsp; As I hinted at before, I think we&#039;re about to see this year&#039;s bottom for the price of gold (and thus, the lowest available price for the UHR) sometime in early May, maybe late May/early June.</p><p><br /></p><p>What does everyone else think?&nbsp; Are we nearing a pricing sweet spot that could yield big dividends if the 1-per-household rule remains in effect?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
