<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treehugger, post: 1459643, member: 28451&quot;]I&#039;ll also stay with my original range of 250,000 to 300,000.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think there are a number of factors operating here.&nbsp;&nbsp; First, the price is higher than it should have been.&nbsp;&nbsp; People don&#039;t like to feel like they are being taken.&nbsp;&nbsp; Second, the Mint&#039;s offerings are uninteresting, even boring.&nbsp;&nbsp; This set, for example, offers nothing new, just a new date and a new mintmark, but nothing creative at all.&nbsp;&nbsp; I won&#039;t even get into the dull commemorative releases of late.&nbsp;&nbsp; Last, it seems many are pretty much &quot;over&quot; the Mint and its recent antics:&nbsp; ATB puck snafu, laughable ordering system, 25th Anniversary Set mess, continued uncertaintly of the release schedule of the ATB pucks.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve said this before, but there are many creative and interesting coins available in the world of today with lower prices than this that can well compete with the Mint for our hobby dollars.&nbsp;&nbsp; I would like to patronize our Mint more just because of the fact it is our Mint, but man, enough is enough.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s quickly getting to the point where it&#039;s just not worth it.&nbsp;&nbsp; Hello!&nbsp;&nbsp; Mint!&nbsp;&nbsp; Wake up!&nbsp;&nbsp; If you were a private corporation, you would probably be out of business.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
