<p>[QUOTE="CentDime, post: 333507, member: 7297"]It is just another marketing gimmick to sell more gold coins, but the only difference is the packaging. I think the mint is overdoing it with gold this year and mintages will drop on nearly all gold coins due to oversupply and higher gold prices. We may see some new key dates emerge this year for gold. I expect the spouse coins to drop in mintage for the first two, the eagle series could be a low as the buffalo gold will be in all denominations. I think most will buy the buffalo and avoid the eagle perhaps and they already dropped last year over 2006.</p><p><br /></p><p>Platinum has skyrocketed due to shutdowns in South Africa so those coins could also see lower mintages unless the mint gets its act together and learns how to adjust prices without shutting down sales for a month at a time. Kind of scary to think they are this inept at sales, sorry to say. :hatch:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
