<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sturmgrenadier, post: 838536, member: 18711&quot;]Thanks for the link,Schatzy. Sales are definitely trending downwards. I don&#039;t see this coin selling out. The impending release of the Boy Scout coin may surpress sales even further. Some collectors may not have enough green these days to afford both. I don&#039;t know if there are enough institutional/bulk dealer buyers (who buy 100 coin lots, etc.) to offset this effect. My guess is that most of the biggies have bought their lots already, because they want to distribute them to deserving members (fraternal and veteran organizations) or they want to submit for grading early to get these silly pseudo-&#039;first strike&#039; designations on their coins (bulk dealers). </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe the mint should consider staggering the releases with one coin in the spring and one in the fall; any economist will tell you that consumers tend to prefer to smooth their spending of non-durables over time rather then buy them all at once. Maybe that makes too much sense for a government agency to implement... OK, maybe I&#039;m the real fool here and I got it all wrong<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Plus, I work for the federal government so I shouldn&#039;t poke that much fun at the mint for being inefficient and misguided in its policies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
