<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 5407567, member: 77639&quot;]John,</p><p><br /></p><p>I’m not sure I see your point.&nbsp; I did try for the AGE and ASE.&nbsp;&nbsp; No luck with either because of the internet chaos and not having a script quickly re-initiating failed tries.&nbsp; With a lottery, having an open period of several weeks and closing a week or more before the coins go on sale, even folks who prefer to use snail mail would have a chance.&nbsp; Even the computer illiterate or computer haters would have a chance.</p><p><br /></p><p>I see two philosophies.&nbsp; One is for very large mintages, so everyone has a decent chance to buy a coin.&nbsp; Another is to limit mintages, so that those who do get one will have a rare coin.&nbsp; I don’t think one is better than the other.&nbsp; I’m interested mostly in older U.S. coins and only get interested in new issues if they are rare, so I’m in the second group.&nbsp; I’ve never flipped a coin in my life. </p><p><br /></p><p>But I would like the process of getting a limited issue to be fairer and take less of my time.&nbsp; Why should I have to sit in front of my computer for a futile half hour or more when the alternative is to sign-on a week in advance, request a lottery number, and then later order the coin if I’m lucky.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
