[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1592460, member: 15929"]I'm sure that what was said at the beginning of the year was well intended and the truth. At the time that is. How were they to know that the 2011 would continue to linger until December? Coin purchasing is a very tricky market and if you'll take the time to study past trends, you'll see exactly when is the time to buy. Take the current year for example. 2011 still has plenty in stock and 2012 is (supposedly) "Sold Out" or at the very minimum, since sold out assumptions often show back up again, simply not available for ordering. I'll predict that sales for the 2013 sets will be very brisk when the product is released. So brisk, that it's possible that the mint "could" fire up the presses again if early enough in the year. If this happens, 2013 could end up like 2011. All because 2012 is currently unavailable. A lot of buyers, tend to react to a situation instead of actually be proactive before the situation. This is not the first time that this has happened folks and it won't be the last.
