<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CentDime, post: 341074, member: 7297&quot;]I think the problem with the mint right now is they keep adding more and more products but never end any of the series. The gold coins are a perfect example, they expanded the series with the W UNC coins in 2006, then expanded again last year with the Spouse, and also added in the buffalo coins to boot. This year will be expanded even more to include all denomiations of buffalos, an entire herd.</p><p><br /></p><p>The right thing would have been to end the Eagle series or make it 24 KT if that is what they wanted. Instead we have an enormous amount of coins being offered. On the plus side it will make for some very low mintages as we are already seeing with the terrible sales of the 2007 W UNC coins, I can&#039;t imagine how low it drops next year based on rising metal prices and all the added buffalos.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then you have to consider the inefficiencies of the mimt itself, the website was down for over a week earlier this year [would never happen to a major tech company] and the on again and off again sales of these coins for price adjustments [again would never happen in the industry like that except for the government].</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally look at the Presidential dollars, they are making those while also making Sacagaweas that nobody wants. Sorry to sound so negative but it is true that they just keep piling on the products and never end anything. With the way things are going I am expecting to see 3 cent and twenty cent pieces back in circulation sometime soon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
