U.S. Mint, This is how you should handle the other President C&C Sets.

Glad you have an opinion, but what is it?

I'm going by history, which is what happened with the 1999 silver proof set.

LOL, we're not saying you don't have other problems, but this forum is to discuss president C&C sets. I'm sure you can find forums for whatever your issues are, but this isn't it.

Hey, when you're retired and independently wealthy, this is what you discuss, the hobby of kings.

 

Mintage numbers and limits are not the real issue here.

The real issue is: They just announced this big change at the last moment and didn't try to compensate for that mistake.

 

What do you mean by, "Compensate for that mistake"?

 

The mistake was the limited order time and other limits that prevented some people from ordering them.

Have you read the rest of the thread?

 

There was no limited order time, other than the limit created due to the low mintage and high household limits. Those are the two variables. I still don't see what you think should be done other than change those variables.

I'm the OP, I've read the thread. Have you?

 

You're not guilty of anything except using an opportunity presented to coin collecting to pay for your coin collecting and THAT, IMO, is not "greed".
Now, if you'd figured out a way of buying 16,000 sets, I'd have a different opinion but the fact of the matter is that the US Mint screwed the pooch on the Household Ordering limit and the coin collectors took over.

I seriously doubt that the "typical" nickel dime coin collector gets bulletins from Coin World or Numismatic News or Coin News or whatever. I also doubt that they participate in open chat coin forums yet, its the folks of the coin forums that appear to take home a large percentage of these Household Limits and then play flipper.

I do it and I'm sure that most other folks do as well.
We knew the mintages.
We knew it was a first ever Reverse Proof Presidential Dollar.
We knew the Household Limits.
We knew when the ordering window opened up and we were there waiting at 8:55 am PT.

"We" sucked a lot of these up and resold them to other folks.

Just like "we" did with the Enhanced Uncirculated Native American Set (which offered a much better looking coin IMO!).

I don't think for a second that its greed. I think it has everything to do with seeing an opportunity and then going for it.

 

LOL A GROWN man scorned over a coin set....

 

FWIW, I have a second MoD set that I will trade for a coin in the Indian Head series.
