[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 2176972, member: 41863"]This was my response on Facebook when CoinWorld asked this question "Seems to me as if the mint is really trying to turn off collectors with these only issued in gold. What they should do is make 250,000 of each to their original specs, and then disperse them throughout mint bags and rolls, etc. as randomly as possible. Mix them into bags, rolls, mint sets, and a special set or two and you would have collectors enthused and clamoring all over the mints products. Buying up everything in hopes to find those rare pieces that are in circulation. Instead the mint does the exact opposite. Disenfranchise collectors who can't afford these in gold and watch as more customers walk away. This is the modern era, you have to excite people with more than the status quo, and while these designs are cool and all, the distribution methods are stuck in last decades model and pitching to the deep pocketed crowd isn't what's going to keep folks coming back. There's already enough of that in Washington."[/QUOTE]
