[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2197093, member: 15929"]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.[/QUOTE]
