Message:: [QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 7840592, member: 100459"]When I first saw it, I thought the price might be about $2,100, but $2,715 is crazy.  It would be decades before money can be made on this coin.  I bought the 2017 American Liberty for $1,640 in April 2017 and thought it was high, but I also thought it was ugly too, but I hoped to get my money.  They had them still available recently at $2,500 or more.  I hope this internal investigation will teach the Minute that they, 1, need to keep the prices reasonable, and 2, mint enough to give collectors more of a chance to get coins that are desirable.  I wonder if they are going to sweep it under the rug.  I think they were also going to check on the special processes that are given to the designated dealers, leaving us the scraps.  I've been watching some coin shows and they are offering 2021W ASEs Type 1 and Type 2 for about $300 each.Are there any coin dealers that cater to the average collectors rather than to the "special" coin dealers.  Even Coin World wrote an article about the relationship between the U.S. Mint and the Mint's "special" dealers.  They but ASE coins for about $30-$40 and put them on the market for $200-$300, and... they will let you pay half now and half later.  What a deal!I apologize for being off topic, but the Mint is as crooked as a hind leg of my logs.[/QUOTE]
