<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 1715908, member: 10103&quot;]It wouldn&#039;t be the first time something of this nature occurred.&nbsp; Anthony J. Swiatek in his book &quot;Encyclopedia of the Commemorative Coins of the United States&quot; refers to one such happenstance which took place with regard to the 1935 Hudson Sesquicentennial coin.&nbsp; He mentions that two dealers nearly bought out the entire run of the issue........</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;It is believed that Julius Guttag of Guttag Brothers, New York City, acquired approximately 7,500 pieces at 95 cents each, and that Hubert W. Carcabla of St. Augustine, Florida purchased 1,000 Hudsons at the same price&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>The entire mintage for the issue was 10,000 pieces and many appeared in the aftermarket at greatly inflated prices.&nbsp; Many collectors were miffed, to say the least..........[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
