<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2192174, member: 26302"]No, you aren't the only one who notices its a problem. Sure, the mint could do something but they don't. The could have made it one per address, they could have said one per company, but they didn't. How many times does the mint have to do stuff like this to modern collectors before you figure out they really don't care about you? They really only care about the large modern coin firms. Until they come up with a system to try to equally distribute coins to customers, and prohibit these large firms from monopolizing the supply, (not a very hard thing to do), I will continue to have the opinion they simply do not care about collectors at all.</p><p> </p><p>I am not sure just refusing to buy from these firms really helps. If they control a lot of the supply, they will get their sale if you buy from them directly or indirectly through another seller. My answer was just to stop buying altogether. There are tons of modern mints out there making some interesting coins. The US mint, if they only wish to sell their stuff to large dealers, can just keep their crap as far as I am concerned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
