Message:: [QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 830329, member: 18157"]The notion that "Let the Mint be the Mint...sometimes you win, sometimes you lose" isn't good enough. They need to hold themselves to the same high business standards as the Franklin Mint.  Why can't the Mint just come out and say that..."We're gonna mint the total amount authorized and sell in the remainder in the secondary market". A little truth in advertising goes a long way.  Instead, they lead us to believe the total mintage (Unc & Proof) for a given issue is determined by the final 52 week sales figures as issued by the Mint. That's less than 10,000 for the Anna Harrison coin...at least at the point when they were "advertised" to go off sale. Just because the Mint is run by the Government...that's no excuse for incompetence. A good reason, but no excuse.[/QUOTE]
