<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buyingsilvers, post: 1474517, member: 18821&quot;]The mint already has a proof program that sells for most of the year that they sell for $65 a piece ($130 for 2).</p><p><br /></p><p>maximized sales and profit apparently isn&#039;t the only objective of the mint, otherwise why would they create a 100k 25th anniversary set or limit the mintage to 1 month?&nbsp; And why stop at $130, why not sell at $100 or $60 for that matter?&nbsp; You could argue with a $30 per coin price point, they&#039;d do sales comparable to the bullion coins.&nbsp; 10 million of these * 3 premium = $30 mil profit.&nbsp; Or if maxing profit was their objective, why not limit the issuance and release at a higher price, then slowly start releasing stockpiled coins over the next few years through channels like ebay?</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Many collector&#039;s items are collector&#039;s items because they are limited in issuance.&nbsp; By including a neat box, raising the price, and limiting the issuance window, they&#039;re obviously trying to create a collector&#039;s item.&nbsp; And IMO, they did this set this year to &quot;make up&quot; for last year&#039;s screw up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
