<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1820180, member: 15929&quot;]The intent of this program was not to create a rarity. BUT the end result of the 100,000 limit combined with the 5 per household ordering limit combined with the outdated web processing is what created that rarity. Limiting the sets to 100,000 was a bit short sighted of the Mint based upon the typical resale value of the 20th Anniversary Sets which had a 250,000 mintage limit but I do not believe that they did it intentionally.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a result, subsequent programs were modified to minimize these impacts such as raising production limits to however many were ordered, raising household limits OR lower limits to 1 per household for 30 days.</p><p><br /></p><p>The net result addressed this unintentional embarrassment for the US Mint in that resale values for subsequent sets have not reached anywhere near those of the 25th Anniversary Sets.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In short, they looked PR Disaster that the 25th Ann Sets produced and adjusted their methodology for acquiring subsequent sets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
