[QUOTE="chip, post: 1966154, member: 19122"]I went saturday and talked to a few of the dealers who were left, most seemed to think it a pretty good show overall, My bro finally joined the ana, and there were lots of freebies to be had, and some nice free gratis things from the US Mint. Just to be a bit contrarian here, but I think that the mint was trying to cater to collectors, not out of greed, but to actually give all the collectors a chance to purchase a first day of issue gold kennedy. If greed was the main motivation the US mint sure left a lot of money on the table selling the gold kennedies for 1240, when they could have limited the whole run to say 5000 pieces and have used heritage to auction them off. Plus I gotta give them some credit, when they saw that things were being gamed too much they called off the thing, now to my way of thinking sometimes it is harder to accept that your plans have gone awry, rather than to just let the whole fiasco run its course. Heres what might happen, the mint may decide that it is not a winning idea to cater to the collectors, or they might find some other way other to show that they are collector friendly.[/QUOTE]
