At the same time, they&#039;re dictating the price of the coins that, unless your a bulk US Mint buyer, can really set you back.</p><p><br /></p><p>Back when times were a bit looser, I had standing subscriptions for 10 of each offering. Thats been cut back to 3 for the Silver sets and totally cancelled for the other annual coins sets. I&#039;ll buy when I get a chance and if the chance doesn&#039;t come up, I won&#039;t be terribly upset.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, this brings up the subject that since the overages or profits if you will, go directly into the General Fund for the US Government, should the excess amounts paid for proofs and uncirculated sets be tax deductible? I mean you are after all indirectly paying Federal Taxes?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
