<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 896554, member: 19065"]Yeah, my reasoning is that the first orders placed and fulfilled afford buyers the best chance at receiving coins unsearched from the initial large quantities minted. Buyers can look them over and return any that have defects or which they judge could potentially grade lower than a 69/70. Once they return those coins (and potentially request replacements or reorder) the chance that someone who orders their first coins weeks after release runs greater odds of receiving coins previously returned with defects or lower quality. Many people are good at spotting which coins will not grade 69/70 and so play the game of ordering early and returning 'problem' coins. Sales also taper off later on because of this. 2009 Proof AGBs were not on sale very long, releasing in Oct 2009, and there was no mintage limit so no one knew how long they had to buy and return those coins, order early, review and return anything with a problem.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
