<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 671066, member: 3011&quot;]jaceravone,</p><p><br /></p><p>I see nothing in your post to make me rethink my position.&nbsp; The Mint has been speeding up the turnover time for their products in recent years.&nbsp; Modern technology makes it economically feasible for them to put out multiple designs with smaller mintages -- i.e., artificial scarcity.&nbsp; Absent packaging, I doubt that it costs the Mint more than a few cents more to produce a spouse than an AGE, and a $39.95 silver commem probably costs less to produce than a common ASE.&nbsp; If the market will bear this fraud, within a few years you can expect an even greater number of even lower mintage coins over the next few years.&nbsp; They are doing this with circulation coinage also.&nbsp; I&#039;m not telling you not to collect all of this junk.&nbsp; I&#039;m just telling you why I won&#039;t collect it unless I can purchase them for bullion coin prices -- which is basically what they are.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
