<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Virginian, post: 1305578, member: 27579&quot;]You have an interesting idea. Bscially, the Mint would operate on a subscription-based model where they fill subscriptions. It sounds pretty good for collectors; not sure how well it would work for the Mint itself. For example, if 1 million orders were placed for these sets instead of only 100,000, do they have sufficient silver stocks to meet that demand for 5 million coins (given that they supposedly didn&#039;t have enough silver available to sell proof eagles in 2009)? I don&#039;t know, but I just note that your post seems to address it from one particular viewpoint (collectors) without apparently considering the &quot;other side of the coin.&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I like the fact that they have the occasional &quot;albino Tiger&quot; item that is is limited and hard to get. The chase is part of the fun for me. It would be a bit more boring to me if there were no &quot;lower&quot; mintage items like the 1995-W; 2006 Reverse Proofs; 2011 Reverse Proofs; etc. If I am not always able to get everything I want from the Mint . . . that is a price I am willing to pay for a little increased excitement.</p><p><br /></p><p>But if they changed to your system, I guess I would be OK with that, too.</p><p><br /></p><p>JMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
