Probably not due to the huge mintage, but there are many generations of Scouts who currently are or once were coin collectors... probably a lot of sales will be as gifts for Scouts too. I bet a lot of dealers place large bulk orders for the year end holidays and for after the Mint has sold out, with increases above Mint pricing. What do you think? Is this one an easy sell out for the Mint?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
