[QUOTE="rickmp, post: 1591831, member: 28047"]No, I'm not a mint employee, but I don't see the world through dollar signs, either. The mint manufactured collectible Eagles and sold them to anyone wanting to buy them, not just to a select few, as they do with the bullion issues. If you want a guaranteed profit, become a mint authorized dealer of bullion coins. Anything else is pure speculation. Both you and I lost on what was assumed, due to bad reporting, that the 2012 SF sets were "exclusive". I, however, knowing the truth about this issue, still assumed the risk. I am not complaining that I was 'screwed', though. The 'Dewey beats Truman' analogy is fitting in this situation. Apparently, personal responsibility is almost dead. More and more, people convince themselves that their troubles are always the fault of someone else. No one wants to suck it up and take it like a man.[/QUOTE]
