<p>[QUOTE=&quot;statequarterguy, post: 1860633, member: 21782&quot;]1. My own speculation?&nbsp; Heck yes!&nbsp; Why would I pay a premium for a supposed low mintage coin, if the mint was going to flood the market with them at face? They&#039;re supposed to only be available by ordering rolls/bags from the mint at a premium.</p><p>2. The order was a mistake, there&#039;s no need for these halves, nor will there be, since they&#039;re not circulated.&nbsp; But, that hasn&#039;t stopped the mint from paying for storage for&nbsp; coins that aren&#039;t needed.</p><p>3. Because it&#039;s the mint - they could &quot;short change&quot; collectors by filling a hole with a low cost coin (year assassinated).&nbsp; Collectors don&#039;t matter, only mint profit.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As is typical, the mint misled collectors all year by showing a normal mintage of about 1.7M each P&amp;D, then at the end of the year tripled the mintage due to an error.&nbsp; SHEESH!&nbsp; When people with integrity ran the mint, they melted/destroyed unsold collector only issues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
