<p>[QUOTE="jonny oneal, post: 2411981, member: 70367"]with the household "limit" imposed by the mint, how can ebay sellers be offering boxes of the coins for sale? i know the probable answer, having attended my share of my university's basketball seasons: those unethical persons use "scalpers" with no numismatic, i assume, ideas as shills to buy beyond the household limit and thus deprive many who tried to buy this coin from getting it. I got home late by half an hour and could not make a phone order or online order. One other interesting point: the sellout rate of this coin demonstrates what happens when the mint sells a coin that does not cost what the 2015 gold high relief Liberty cost--it sells out in less than an hour instead of several days. If anyone at the mint paid attention, or played fairly as in the "surprise" last year of spring the reverse proof presidential dollar in the Truman Coin and Chronicles set, there would be more offerings like this celebratory dime. <span style="color: #ff0000">Edited: political comments not allowed~ read the rules.</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
