<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2111984, member: 26302&quot;]I for one would like to see any &quot;true rarity&quot; coming out of the mint. Even if mintage is &quot;only&quot; 10,000, those 10,000 will be pristine forever. 10,000 mintage for most of the world, and for most coins ever struck, is a huge figure. Only compared versus other US coins, and assuming the same extraordinary demand, could anyone ever say this is a scarce coin, let alone a &quot;true rarity&quot;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Regarding the idea coin dealers are intentionally misleading about mint products profitability, maybe, maybe not. 40 years of history is giving a pretty definitive answer that buying directly from the mint will lose you money, especially stripping out any pm effects. That is the truth. MAYBE the last 5-10 years will be different, but I do not think its a lie to say, &quot;the last 40 years has proven its cheaper to buy on the aftermarket than from the mint&quot;. We are assuming these people are not flippers trying to sell into hot markets directly after release, but rather long term collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
