<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1372755, member: 26302&quot;]I hear what you are saying sir, but in the case of ASE collectors what is happening is they started when there was but a couple coins a year to buy. Then silver skyrocketed, and not the number of coins in a &quot;set&quot; are increasing rapidly. Many who buy modern commems wish to complete the &quot;set&quot;, and between metal prices and proliferation of offerings, I imagine tis becoming extremely hard to keep up. </p><p><br /></p><p>What will happen in my estimation is these actions will drive out a lot of collectors, discouraging them from even collecting the set anymore. This long term will actually decrease the mint&#039;s profits, at the cost of a short term gain.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion. The mints should worry about keeping thier customer list happy, not speculators or any others. Its their customer list which provides them long term steady profits. I am saying this with the disclosure that I do not collect modern coins. To me, &quot;modern&quot; is anything struck past 1453, with just a few occasional 18th and 19th century coins thrown in out of boredom.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
