<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1461936, member: 19065"]Your point it moot. The Mint's decision to prepare coins in advance of orders makes effective business sense as they are fully aware that their marketing and the popularity of these sets will draw in plenty of orders. Any they don't sell would be destroyed like other coins once they are no longer available for sale. A very large amount of 2009 UHR coins sat in inventory and eventually were destroyed, melted and made into new blanks for other coins several months after sales ended. Orders of these 75th Anniversary ASE sets are a safe enough business decision to proceed with minting so they can get them out in due course of the year they are minted in, as indicated this will be about a month after orders have been placed. "mint to demand" means just that, mint enough to fill the number of orders they need to fulfill (i.e., demand).</p><p><br /></p><p>What I am curious about is returns and/or exchanges of this product. Will the Mint be able to offer exchanges if cherrypickers want to return coins for new ones? If they mint to demand, will returns only be met with a credit, exchange for other merchandise or our money back? What then happens to the returned coins? Straight to the scrap pile?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
