<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tradernick, post: 20936, member: 648&quot;]In the 70&#039;s the mint produced a wide variety of medals and medallions, some Bicentennial themed and some not.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; Because people would buy them.&nbsp; People stopped buying them after the bicentennial so the mint stopped producing them.&nbsp; The same holds true for Prestige sets and Premiere silver sets...people stopped buying them so the mint stopped making them.&nbsp; Now with the recent bull market for coins the mint has found that people will buy these &quot;sideline&quot; items, so they make them.&nbsp; I&#039;ve no doubt in a few years their catalog will look different, as they delete slow sellers and add new items that people will pay for.&nbsp; </p><p>Remember, this aspect of the mint is run like any other business...for a profit.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s my 2 coppers <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Nick[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
