[QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 1259444, member: 18157"]I "fixed" the chart problems and added the previous weeks info.

If you see that a price change will occur, you can speed up or slow down your purchases to get the best price. As I mentioned earlier, at the top of the Mint's price chart, there's a list of seven (7) criteria the Mint uses when making price change decisions.

However, when prices vary wildly in a short period of time, the Mint always reserves the right to suspend sales. These past couple of weeks have been unique.
