<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 1297616, member: 10103&quot;]Woody, nothings perfect.&nbsp; The mint offered the coins in what they felt was the most fair and equitable manner.&nbsp; No matter how the offering was made, there was bound to be someone &quot;shut out&quot;.&nbsp; It happens.&nbsp; And yes, the coins are expensive and out of reach to many families and collectors.&nbsp; Should an apology be made for this?&nbsp; Let&#039;s see......back in the thirties the mint ran a commemorative coin program where there were many, many issues minted for collectors.&nbsp; Lots of folks were hurting back then, but coin collecting was popular.&nbsp; As a child of the sixties, I wanted these coins but couldn&#039;t afford them.&nbsp; Is the mint obligated to making them available to me at a price I can afford?</p><p><br /></p><p>Should the mint apologize for not getting one of these issues (25th Anniversary) to each and every family and person that wants one?&nbsp; No, I don&#039;t think so.&nbsp; It ain&#039;t a perfect world, and Lord knows, I could be on the down and out in a year or two.&nbsp; Should the mint be beholding to me because I can&#039;t afford something down the road?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
