[QUOTE="Good Cents, post: 3328290, member: 100720"]I hear you. Conceded. That's the crux of it. It's one thing to charge a premium in order to make a profit, it's another to price gouge and overcharge. I have a feeling there will be lots of other moon-landing coins and rounds being issued this year around the world. But I was hoping this US Mint Apollo 11 issue would be a big hit because it was issued by the country and gov't which actually was the first in the world to land 2 men on the moon and bring them home safely. But charging ridiculous prices goes beyond making a profit, and there is no reason for them to have to charge ridiculous prices (or for them to make shoddy products for that matter). Maybe the US Mint themselves is extremely wasteful in how they spend money in every part of their operation, or they are being mismanaged in the extreme, or they themselves are paying far too much to their suppliers, or all of the above.[/QUOTE]
