[QUOTE="statequarterguy, post: 956841, member: 21782"]Good question! Until the State/Parks quarters they couldn't mint coins dated one year in the next year. Whatever the law, the mint again stabs collectors in the back - the collector that pays the full cost of running the mint and who counts on final meaning final to establish the secondary market. Until this fiasco, the Hot Springs were the lowest mintage of the Parks and States and I just bought up a bunch of them (thank goodness at not too much of a premium), relying on the final mintages. I'd have to say, based on this total disregard for collectors, although I'll still order from the mint, since I have no choice, I'm scaling back quantities ordered and looking for other hobbies to spend my dollars.
