<p>[QUOTE=&quot;drathbun, post: 1908162, member: 42789&quot;]I suspect the 10% discount serves a number of purposes. First, it makes the products &quot;seem&quot; cheaper even when they&#039;re really not. People who subscribe feel like they&#039;re getting a benefit.</p><p><br /></p><p>But more importantly, perhaps for the mint, is that they have a more firm handle on the popularity of a particular issue before they start producing it. Instead of guessing that something might be popular, they can look at advance subscription numbers and get a far better indication of how many units will have to be produced.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been buying the silver proof sets since the state quarters program began in 1999, and I know that I appreciate the info posted in this topic. I don&#039;t particular care what the immediate price appreciation is, since these sets are for my two sons at some point in the future... hopefully way in the future. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> But it&#039;s still interesting to see.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
