<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2226451, member: 26302&quot;]Trust me, MCM and Silvertowne ARE getting these. They have probably hundreds if not thousands of people they hire to game the US mint system. It seriously is not a question of if, the way the game is played right now.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Personally, the mint is missing a huge opportunity to reward good customers with these types of offerings. Make it only those who have been customers 3 years or longer, and have bought at least 8 items from the mint direct in those years, eligible to buy such sets first. Both numbers could be debatable, but you get the point. Make it so only long term customers of their other products get first crack at these. This would severely limit how much of the total MCM and Silvertowne could hoard, and possibly encourage more collectors to buy direct from the mint other issues.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For full disclosure I would not be one of these eligible, so this is not a self serving recommendation. I simply feel bad for collectors who patronize the mint for proof sets, mint sets, commemorative coins, etc getting hosed by MCM and Silvertowne on these coins. Its simply not right, and the mint should fix it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
