[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 4511697, member: 27832"]Wonder if they'll do the standard free-for-all ordering, or if they'll have the sense to institute an [I]actual[/I] lottery? Either way, I'm pretty confident in predicting the result: About 45 will be sold directly to people who actually want to have and keep the coin. About 1,900 will be sold to dealers, either directly, or through their straw buyers, or through speculators. (Not to imply that the dealers themselves aren't speculators, too.) About 19,450 indignant posts about the whole process will appear on forums and social media. The Mint will declare another great success.[/QUOTE]
