<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1083320, member: 18157&quot;]Another perspective (or the same...I don&#039;t know)...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Mint would have been well advised to keep this issue out of the Authorized Purchaser (AP) network, altogether. The AP&#039;s were established to move millions of bullion coins. The Mint knew these would be a limited issue, similar to the First Spouse bullon coins, which are distributed directly from the Mint (not the AP network).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The very idea that this limited edition would go to the APs, and be (possibly) cherry-picked before reaching the general public, is unsettling at best. If a collector buys from an AP and receives a coin that&#039;s anything less than MS70, (rightly or wrongly) the integrity of the AP comes into question.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I hope our new Mint Director can learn from this experience and keep limited edition coins out of the AP network. :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
