<p>[QUOTE="LJRambo111, post: 2212661, member: 21706"]I am not bitter but I don't like the idea of the big company's increasing the hype to get these coins. It's no different from the coin company's hiring unemployed people to stand in line at the Chicago show increasing the hype and making the real collectors miss the opportunity to get a coin at US mint prices. Keep reading about the collectors son or daughters who are disapointed because daddy didn't get one.</p><p><br /></p><p>I for one feel sorry for the collectors who missed out most of these were affordable. However now with the increased hype these collectors will not get one. As for the Chicago show I traveled across the country and went to the show. I arrived two hours before the show started but with the rush of the stooges entering the show hired by the coin company's I was pushed out of getting a coin to add to my complete set. Yes the greed was high at this show the dealers wer all lined up at the US Mint booth paying the increased prices for the people they had stand in line. It is true I was pushed out of getting a coin which I would have graded at the show. The real disapointment came because I invested over a thousand dollars traveling to the show with Hotel and gas bills. I was a real collector, the dealers did push me out of getting a coin because of their greed. </p><p><br /></p><p>I do believe that the greedy dealers are increasing the hype by getting around the rules the mint set up by hiring buyers. I do believe they are doing this because they can make money. The big coin dealers are basicly buying up all the stock and selling them for BIG money. 1300 for a pf70. The lesson for the junior collectors is to be dishonest and greedy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
