[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1506731, member: 15929"]Well gosh. I guess folks will just ignore the below quoted part of the Coin World Editorial: "[FONT="Times New Roman"][COLOR=#000000]Collectors had some advance warning that the two-coin Anniversary set may not be the only special American Eagle silver coin set to be released in 2012. In January, the Mint described the results of a collector survey and hinted that they were exploring several different American Eagle sets.[/COLOR][/FONT]" Coin World reported on the above on the Front Page of the February 13th edition of Coin World. IMO, the only folks "killing the golden goose" are the folks which continually whine over what they "perceive" as an injustice "to the collector". They totally disregard the fact that American Silver Eagle coin sets with similar mintages and exactly the same multiple coin offerings outside the set (2006-W Unc and 2006-W Proof) continue to sell for $200 over their original issue price of $100. I cannot help but wonder why? Maybe they are new? 2006 brought a LOT of new folks to various coin forums who took advantage of the 2006 Sets. But then, maybe they just like to complain? Whatever. I expect that given the current negative environment towards the US Mint that eventually each online order placed with the Mint will be accompanied with a "legal disclaimer" or "terms of sale" box to click agreeing to the terms before the order will get processed. Maybe they oughta get back to the business of producing quality circulating coinage and only offer Proof Sets, Mint Sets, and commemoratives via snail mail? Nah..............folks would whine just as much! :yes:[/QUOTE]
