[QUOTE="calcol, post: 5403520, member: 77639"]I don’t try to buy anything from the U.S. Mint unless the mintage will be limited to a relatively low number. What the Mint charges compared to melt value is too high unless there is some numismatic value as well … something that can be achieved only with limited mintage. I have to like the theme and design as well, which eliminates most coins at the outset. However, the internet carnage when limited mintage coins go on sale is frustrating, especially because it’s totally avoidable. All they need is a lottery system that starts a couple of weeks before the coins go on sale. What happens now reminds me of movie scenes of peasants scrambling for a coin tossed on the ground by a passing noble … and I’m one of the peasants. :grumpy: Cal[/QUOTE]
