[QUOTE="Santinidollar, post: 3145261, member: 75866"]I ask the question because: — The 2018 silver reverse proof set saw 106,000 sold the first day with a household limit of 10. Now, with unlimited orders permitted, the quota of 200,000 sets still hasn’t sold out. Plenty of sets obviously available for those who wanted them. — Remember the stink over the 2017-S silver eagle proof in the congratulations set last year? The flippers ate up the supply in minutes. On Aug. 14, the 2018-S version goes on sale with no mintage limit and no household limit. You suppose the Mint has decided that its mission is to make coins available to those who want them, instead of kowtowing to the large dealers (as some have alleged in the past)? Of course, I bet the TV dealers such as HSN will grade the two above-mentioned items and count on their audiences simply not knowing they are still available from the Mint.[/QUOTE]
