<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2schnauzers2luv, post: 1371325, member: 26161&quot;]I think it&#039;s because they are too busy promoting other things.&nbsp; Everywhere I look the mint is pushing the 2012 America The Beautiful Three-Coin Set and the latest 5oz. bullion piece.&nbsp; Every coin related news site that I&#039;ve subscribed to is mentioning the availability of these and a few other items.&nbsp; As a collector, I am more interested in the availability of what I consider, the &quot;Bread and Butter&quot; of new mint products,&nbsp; Proof Sets and especially Silver Proof Sets.&nbsp; In my case, the two mint products that have had a long history and have a high degree of collector interest stability.&nbsp; Maybe the mint is perceiving the 2012 Proof and Silver Proof Sets as a &quot;Sure Thing&quot; that collectors will go after with little or no promotion.&nbsp; Where as, other products may need a push to meet sales goals and to combat possible waning collector interest.&nbsp; Just a guess on my part.&nbsp; <font size="4">WHO KNOWS!</font></p><p><font size="4"><font size="2">Speaking of knowing things and not knowing things, I actually know this for sure.&nbsp; <span style="color: #ff0000">Yakpoo</span><span style="color: #000000">.&nbsp; I would like to thank you for starting this thread.&nbsp; Your knowledge, numismatic savvy, insights, your posts and your sense of humor have provided me with a ton of laughs, enjoyment and the things learned are too many to count.&nbsp; It&#039;s people like you that really make this hobby fun, interesting and informative.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure I&#039;m not the only one who feels this way either.&nbsp; Because of your starting this thread, I thought it might be fun to put together a complete 14 coin 2011 Silver Proof Set. NGC Graded.&nbsp; Ultra Cameo.&nbsp; Early Releases.&nbsp; Matching Blue Labels.&nbsp; Proof 70.&nbsp; So I did.&nbsp; Cost a small fortune, and the hunt was long and tedious and fun, but it&#039;s now complete.&nbsp; Guys down at my coin club suggested sending it in to the NGC Registry.&nbsp; So I did.&nbsp; It&#039;s ranked #1.&nbsp; I never would have put that together or sent it in to the registry if you hadn&#039;t started this thread.&nbsp; Again, thanks for your many contributions here.&nbsp; I noticed this thread has </span><span style="color: #ff0000">470 </span><span style="color: #000000">replies, </span><span style="color: #ff0000">19,945</span><span style="color: #000000"> views and a </span><span style="color: #ff0000">5 Star </span><span style="color: #000000">rating.&nbsp; So keep doing what you&#039;re doing.&nbsp; Because you&#039;re doing.................</span><span style="color: #000000">a </span><span style="color: #ff0000">GREAT JOB!</span></font></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
