<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 2177032, member: 41863&quot;]Well because some of us like to see improvements from time to time, and since the mint is in it to make money, why not do something that will boost the enterprise overall and even benefit a few true collectors? (The extra profits also boost this nation since they get deposited back into the treasury)</p><p><br /></p><p>The current method allows for a few rich collectors to own these new pieces, and the mint only makes a percentage over their cost, which is very predictable when you have XXXX units minted.</p><p><br /></p><p>With my model, you have a few proofs like they did in the old days for collectors such as yourself who wouldnt want to search for the pieces (plus you can always buy on the aftermarket). Then coupled with inserting some into the random wild, you will accomplish all of the other benefits that I outlined earlier. What that would do for our hobby and this business would be astronomical. The mint could inflate prices a bit on bags and rolls and make enormous profits and again sell out of every product potentially harboring these circulation pieces. More &#039;regular&#039; people would be searching, sort of like the lotto, hoping to gain a big score with little cost. Collectors would go nuts, coin roll hunters would go bananas, collectors of the individual series would want one to complete their set (and it would fit in the albums, unlike the gold). Also, the chance of obtaining 70s dramatically decreases and makes those specimens truly rare and worth the money. The residual the in the subsequent years would be felt in all areas of this hobby from new collectors and rekindled interest in 3 classic series.</p><p><br /></p><p>So the reason they would want to go my route over status quo would simply be for the money. Which is fine with me, if all of us win, and we get some excitement and buzz forming again in this hobby. Wouldn&#039;t you like to see a further increase in your own coin holdings?</p><p><br /></p><p>Plus, where is the benefit from doing it &#039;your&#039; way, which is the mints current model? Were you satisfied with how they handled the Kennedy gold? Are you tired of the mint selling collector pieces with so little difference in each variety that you know its a gimmick?</p><p><br /></p><p>This new method would throw us back to the collecting roots where many folks started, the nostalgia would be incredible, and the hobby would surely see another rise.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ill tell you what, why dont you explain to me why its a good thing to proceed as normal? From what I can tell the mint has been losing customers and many folks have been constantly complaining about their tactics. This too will surely send off many folks who are bitter that they cant afford these gold pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
