<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 874080, member: 19065"]Indeed. And I feel the slowness shows the folly of those who hyped this coin in the hopes of easy flips who based success on purported overwhelming statistical odds, thinking number of past, present and future Scouts that will want these, that Scout merit badges in coin collecting would pique collector interest and also that this coin could alone disprove that large mintage modern silver commems typically fail in short order. The other thing the slowness of a sell out with the BSA coins indicates to me is that the number of interested collectors know that they must get their orders in early on, the day of or soon after release, to offset receiving coins that may be returned later for conditional issues rejected by dealers and other collectors. The peak time after which collector interest falls off before sell out occurs generally becomes evident even before the Mint raises pre-announced prices increases.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
