<p>[QUOTE=&quot;line_grade, post: 232059, member: 3078&quot;]Don&#039;t know what milk has to do with the hobby but I do know that although the milk business, at least at the &quot;cow&quot; level, may not be heavily regulated it is heavily subsidised. If it were not for the government subsidies a gallon of milk at the consumer level would be in the neighborhood of $8.00. Regarding the mint pricing, I think it is fair. What other organization or company&nbsp; that had &quot;proprietary&quot; control over a consumer item would charge what the mint charges? You think Exxon would sell gas at $3.00 a gallon if they were the only game in Dodge?..please!</p><p><br /></p><p>The mint for the most part, produces a beautiful work of art pretty much with every coin or bill they make. Even though some coins or sets are sold with a limited production limit,&nbsp; the mint charges a reasonable price. I&#039;m sure the mint knew the demand for an item, such as the 2006 Silver Anniversary set, would be in demand far above the 250,000 production limit, yet the price was $100. Of course a lot of people were even complaining about that price. Well the set is pushing the $600 level on E-bay. In my heart of hearts, I feel the mint knew they had a winner there and yet kept the price where their &quot;cost formula&quot;, whatever it is, put it. Common folks, you all want some cheese with that whine...!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
