Message:: [QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1472408, member: 31533"]You know, that may be true. Even a 20 dollar difference in price - meaning paying 75 per coin instead of 65 - can be a difference in perception of whether buying the coin is worth it or not. I originally thought I would get 3 sets, with the price hopefully being about 120 for the set. That would mean I could put about 360 into it. But at 150 a set I started not just backing away from that, but I am now on the fence as if I want more than one set even. So If I purchase one set with the price at 150, and the reason behind it being that I wouldn't consider 3 at that price (450 spent) and have considered two at the price (300 spent), means that the mint has likely lost somewhere between 60 and 210 dollars from just one customer, rather than having increased their revenue by 90 dollars. And by doing that, they have skipped making 2 or 4 coins. Since making those coins would probably take less than a minute in press time, that's a lot to lose. For a while I was even considering not ordering any. But I may order the one set. Right now I'm not even seeing myself getting two sets. I think the mint has guessed that by putting a mint to demand, that people would step up to ordering more, rather than less, and they could gain the extra bucks on this. With silver at the price it is now, I think that 60 for a new silver dollar is probably the most that one should be offered for.[/QUOTE]
