[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1849206, member: 112"]Wouldn't change anything. In past years they used to be much worse than they are now when it comes to secrecy, confusion, and misleading statements. That has been consistent for as long as anyone can remember. It used to be that the mint abhorred the idea of creating a rarity and they would do anything they could to prevent it, and prevent anyone from finding out about it if it happened by accident. But in today's world it sometimes seems that they are trying to be misleading in the opposite direction to help boost sales. But there are no rarities in today's world and haven't been any for decades. There are some scarcities however, but they are few and far between. The last one I can remember was the $5 Capitol Visitor Center in 2001. That ended up being the 2nd lowest mintage $5 commem there was. Back then I had had hopes that it would take first so I bought several of the Proofs and Uncs. Had to settle for second ;)[/QUOTE]
