<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2713891, member: 112&quot;]Threads like this always make me just kind of sit and shake my head - for a couple of different reasons.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of those would be that the powers that be at the US Mint have been members of this forum for almost as long as the forum has existed. And they read EVERYTHING you guys say !</p><p><br /></p><p>Now once, over 10 years ago now, one of the assistant directors at the mint who was a member here actually tried to help collectors and the members of this forum. He went out if his way to do so ! Ya know what happened ? He got fired for doing that. So do ya think what you guys say matters - to the the mint ?</p><p><br /></p><p>The other reason I sit and shake my head is that for years the same basic scenario regarding new collector issues has been followed. Quick sellouts - regardless of whatever type of ordering limits were in place. Ordering limits or not there&#039;s always a way around them, even if the big companies have to pay people to stand in line to buy the coins for them. And then everybody complains because they didn&#039;t get to buy one. </p><p><br /></p><p>Well I&#039;d like to ask ya, are you complaining because you didn&#039;t get the coin ? Or are you complaining because you didn&#039;t get to buy as many as you could and then turn around and flip them for a quick profit ? Just like the big companies are doing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now never mind that sometimes as soon as 30 days later, after the release date, the madness has died down and the coins are being sold for a pittance, sometimes even below issue price. And yeah, threads like that have written here on this forum too. So if you&#039;re one of the ones who just wanted the coin, just wait a little bit and you&#039;ll be able to get one - cheap !</p><p><br /></p><p>So do ya wonder, why I just sit and shake my head ? And before ya respond to that I&#039;ve heard it all before, just about any type of response it&#039;s possible to give. So I won&#039;t bother to read them. But if you want to respond to counter my comments - have at it. But go look in the mirror when ya do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
