<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RickieB, post: 281787, member: 2486&quot;]Well I suppose that is a matter of opinion, and everyone is entitled to their own. As it stands, I am pretty certain that when a bill is passed to mint a new coin, mintages are set fourth in that article and well the rest is water under the bridge.</p><p>All I am saying is that if the Mint were to have total unlimited mintages on all coins, this would lead to the generic circumstance I mentioned. Again just my opinion. If this were&nbsp; true there would be far more than 10,000 20th Ann Gold Set&#039;s, Silver set&#039;s Spouse Coin&#039;s and the list would go on.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the circumstance of the Jackie Robinson coin, the coin collecting hobby at that time was no where near the robust stage&nbsp; that it is currently. All things being created equal, demand is what constitutes the supply, and supply is what creates demand.</p><p><br /></p><p>The blocked out situation mentioned in the article is due to people trying to hoard large lots as a stream of revenue. The mint&#039;s order limt will assure the individuals that want a coin the opportunity to get one without being ripped by a greedy dealer! I suppose you could call it a form of sanctioning/rationing the coins to strict limits. This is what I see with the latest Spouse coin. Who knows what will occur on the next release.</p><p>The open window&nbsp; effect would allow an unlimited amout of coins to be ordered from open to close and we all know what that has done to values. There are a few exceptions as Doug mentioned, but again look at the collector base then and now. Big difference in demand!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>RickieB[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
