<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1033848, member: 19065"]I've just received the email as others have. We all know how the boards light up when an announcement or info about these particular coins (amongst other anticipated Mint products) are mentioned in the press. I hope this 'glitch' wasn't <i>intentional</i> to drive sales of these coins if subscription orders have been lighter than anticipated by the Mint and in approach to their online availability after next week when expected to go on sale. If market prices of silver and the Mint's market up price of these coins are scaring away subscribers of these coins after all the collector banter and balking over not having Proof collectibles available last year, I wonder if this little 'glitch' wasn't engineered to ramp up buyers emotions. That would certainly be a weak sales tactic if buyers were made to think a possible scarcity/limited availability were in play even when no household limits nor mintage limits have been officially stated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
