<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 8520517, member: 26302&quot;]I can try later. It was a news story a couple of weeks ago. I am sure it was on my feed since I read coin stories. The article focused on the politics more, it did not say if coinage blanks were scarce like they were the last shortage, which would be a rational reason for not producing enough. I am not trying to say the Treasury is trying to create a shortage, just either there are blank shortages I haven&#039;t heard about or it is not a priority for them. I cannot think of a political reason to not want to mint them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Point being, it seems, like always, economic turmoil increases demand beyond supply like it always does. I would be VERY wary of betting the premiums long term will stay where they are at. Give us 3 years of flat or declining pm&#039;s and lack of economic turmoil and they will return to the 35 year average. Reversion to the mean is powerful since the mean is usually the normal economic balance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
