<p>[QUOTE="green18, post: 1910429, member: 10103"]Well, I'll admit I'm a little perturbed regarding the mints' handling of things with the HOF coins but I shouldn't be. This scenario has always been the case for mint products that are popular (hyped?). Remember the UHR St. Gaudens (2009)? My order for that piece was constantly being pushed back day by day on a regular basis. I ordered it the first day it was offered (in January) and didn't receive it till mid-March. There was much fanfare and anticipation for the ASE 25th anniversary set and a lot of people were disappointed when they were locked out of the offering due to high numbers of collectors and dealers wanting them. In both cases there was a lot of hanky panky with people getting their orders cancelled. With regard to the latter case people were fuming and I know the mint must have been inundated with huge amounts of hate mail because the next time an ASE set was released, ordering limits were put in place. But that wasn't good enough because on the next offering the eagle that everybody thought was going to be exclusive to the set was offered later in the year in a currency set. Collectors hoping to cash in on the set were disappointed. </p><p><br /></p><p>In conclusion, we're all just a bunch of cry babies. We'll never be happy with what the mint does or in the way it handles and ships it's products. We'll always complain and whine about the fact that'I didn't get this', or 'there's a little ding on an uncirculated coin'. They can't please us. They never will either........[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
