<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 7342540, member: 100459&quot;]I apologize.&nbsp; Now that you mention it, I believe you mentioned it in an earlier entry.&nbsp; Is that the same reason that the USM increased the cost of the Silver Proof Set from 2020 $63.25 to 2021 $105.00, over 66% increase (I think.) What was the cost of silver in 2020 and also 2021.</p><p>I don&#039;t know if you ever heard the story about how to cook a frog.&nbsp; It seems that a man had fond a frog and decided to cook it.&nbsp; He turn the stove up to 350 degrees and put the frog into the pot.&nbsp; Well, the frog jumped out.&nbsp; So this man put the frog in the pot again, and again.&nbsp; The man was perplexed, so he called his friend and told him the problem.&nbsp; The man thought for a minute and then told the man, &quot;You don&#039;t put a frog in a hot pot.&nbsp; You put the frog in a pot with cool water.&nbsp; The frog will stay in the pot, then.&nbsp; Slowly, you turn the heat up a little at a time and the frog will be cooked.</p><p>The moral of the story is that the U.S. Mint has got it all wrong.&nbsp; Rather than raise the price of the coins all at one time.&nbsp; Raise the price a little at a time and their customers (most of them) won&#039;t complain about being &quot;cooked.&quot;</p><p>The Mint is trying to catch up with their cost all at one time.&nbsp; The US Post Office is doing the same thing.&nbsp; They want to recover their loses with one jump in the price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
