<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 59298, member: 68&quot;]It may be sneaky but if you think about it, the mint gains nothing from</p><p>it unless collectors find it interesting.&nbsp; Indeed, all the extra work to make </p><p>more high quality mint set coins is greater cost and trouble for the mint </p><p>for which they get nothing in return.&nbsp; (unless collectors like it). The price</p><p>of the mint set hasn&#039;t been increased and they&#039;re still issuing all the cir-</p><p>culation coins at face value.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Oh sure, now collectors will want to have both versions so they&#039;ll have </p><p>to find some nice coins in circulation too.&nbsp; In the past collectors would </p><p>just buy the mint sets since they had the finest coins anyway.&nbsp; And yeah</p><p>this might get more people interested in the hobby which will spur sales</p><p>of mint sets and maybe even proof sets and their other products too.&nbsp; </p><p>It&#039;s a win, win, win situation for the mint and collectors perhaps also.&nbsp; The</p><p>ease of finding gem new coins might well interest people in finding the old-</p><p>er coins in gem also.&nbsp; This can mean other, older coins and sets will benefit</p><p>which will help collectors.&nbsp; It can mean a few people who have access to</p><p>circulation issues can make some money selling them to those who don&#039;t.</p><p>It will make all the current sets more interesting which will mean more in-</p><p>terest and perhaps more new collectors.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It is pretty sneaky.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
