[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 1551779, member: 27832"]This is fascinating. I got a survey, too -- but mine was proposing a reverse proof Buffalo that would [I]replace[/I] the standard issue, at a price of about $2000, and never discussed the option of offering both together for $4000. I pointed out in the comments section that offering [I]only[/I] a reverse proof sounded like a terrible idea, recalling the debacle with 2009 ASE proofs, or even the 1982/83 mint sets. The survey also asked whether I thought fractional uncirculated or proof Buffs would be a good idea. I said yes -- more accessible to more collectors. Finally, it asked a lot of questions about whether a special issue should keep the same design on the obverse and/or reverse, and if not, what design should be used -- another classic design, a new modern design, or something else. For the heck of it, I asked them to consider using classic [I]pattern[/I] designs that were never issued for circulation, but I also indicated that I didn't have a particular preference among the alternatives. I gather that different people will be seeing drastically different surveys. I wonder if one's answers early on determine what questions appear later, or if they just randomly ask people different sets of questions.[/QUOTE]
