<p>[QUOTE="goldmember, post: 1435031, member: 19304"]Wow, lots of heated opinions here. My take is that this is what the Mint does. If all releases were either limited amounts or minted to demand, then they would lose lots of customers. They will mint to demand for a while, then throw a bone to the dealers by doing a limited release. They have been doing it for years, although many times the "limited" mintage is more than actual demand so they never hit it. The A25 was a fluke in that regard.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am excited about this release, and will buy somewhere between 2 and 5 sets. I still think the resellers will overbuy, so mintage will be high, maybe around 500k. I don't expect the market to be great, but I am sure there will be some money to be made by the resellers. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for the disdain for "flippers", how many of you ever bought a coin and hoped it would LOSE money? Most people don't have the resources to constantly buy, so they sell stuff they are no longer interested in so they can buy more. It is always nice to have it be worth more than you paid for it. For me, I am on a strict budget so these few money-making releases allow me to fund this hobby. It is also part investment for me, as I have had to sell off part of my collection a few times to take care of my family. Remember that not all of us collectors are comfortably retired or independently wealthy. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here's to no publicity and low mintage for this release![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
