<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1592198, member: 15929&quot;]I&#039;d sure like to get the US Mint to see things my way but I know that it just is not going to happen.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many folks feel that the US Mint produces collector coins for collectors. The reality is that the US Mint Collector Coin Programs are nothing more than a money making enterprise that the US Government, specifically the Treasury Department, has discovered as a &quot;cash cow&quot; which can pay for their operations AND return a small bit to the General Fund. In other words, its a business and like any other business, if a product does not sell, like the 2011 Presidential Proof Sets, then they certainly are not going to ramp up production for the 2012 versions. It better to have a sell out than be faced with the prospect of storing and then ultimately destroying a product which cost money to produce.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, there will always be some folks left out in the cold to which RickMP already addressed with his &quot;You snooze, you lose.&quot; statement.</p><p><br /></p><p>I feel the exact same way.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I miss out on an opportunity..........................I pay better attention next time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
