<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 2406450, member: 24633&quot;]There are a lot of people who don&#039;t agree with you about the 1933 Double Eagle, and if you had any understanding about the procedures at the Cashier&#039;s Cage at the Mint at that time, maybe you would think differently. You also have to bear in mind that international politics played a BIG role in the final decision to allow the sale of the Farouk specimen while denying the authenticity of all others. </p><p><br /></p><p>The gold Kennedy is another story altogether. Suppose you were one of the collectors who didn&#039;t get one of these commems because they sold out to buyers who were hiring other people to order more than the limit allowed? Do you think it would be fair? On the other hand, would you feel the same way if you were one of the buyers who was able to get 5-10 times the limit using these same underhanded tactics? I doubt it!</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I think the Mint should continue striking them as long as the demand exists, and let the market determine the TRUE value of them. However, the Mint won&#039;t do this because then they couldn&#039;t charge their outrageous prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
