[QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 1163181, member: 18157"]I was just using the First Spouse series as an example...and I agree with you that $42 for the 3" bronze medals is way too high (I was using the logic in reverse to guess at their mintages...which I can't find published anywhere). The APs are in business to make money and the Mint products they sell are supposed to "be available in numbers to meet demand"...which means they'll go out of business if they're not price competitive. That's exactly the reason they shouldn't be involved (imo) with the distribution of any products that won't be produced in unlimited numbers to satisfy demand...such as the ATB 5 Oz disks. As far as sets like the Legacy series is concerned, I think that's what Congress was referring to when they said the Mint shouldn't be in the business of creating/selling "contrived" rarities.[/QUOTE]
