[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2668927, member: 71723"]To answer your initial question: "Is (sic) the US Mint think we are stupid or what or am I reading it wrong ??" Yes, the Mint "is" think we stupid, we prove it regularly. Second, this is not an unusual product breakdown. There are 50,000 gold $5 coins to be sold, of which 15,000 of the proof version are set aside for the 3-coin set. There are 350,000 clad halves available, of which 15,000 of the proof version will be set aside for the set. There are 300,000 silver dollars available, of which 15,000 proofs are set aside yadda yadda. What's wrong? Third, I'm buying EXACTLY two of the six coins - half and dollar in uncirculated format - no proofs, no gold. Fourth, a new U.S. Mint release timed for the opening day of an ANA show where I'm working. Oh yay! :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
