<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1908045, member: 66&quot;]Which is no evidence of special treament, as your next statement proves.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Sure it&#039;s fair, and many collectors do the same thing&nbsp; placing multiple orders.&nbsp; The dealer just has more money so he can place orders for the maximum limit each time.&nbsp; But they still have to get through the mint site to place the orders.&nbsp; Also many of these dealers have standing buy orders placed with other dealer and as soon as the collectors get their multiple coin orders and flip the duplicates to their local dealer they get shipped to the big dealer for an immediate profit.&nbsp; The end result is that big dealers wind up with large quantities on hand as soon as the mint starts delivering.&nbsp; But it isn&#039;t special treatment.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I remember hose times as well.&nbsp; Order your proof sets in Feb and hope they arrived in time for Christmas.&nbsp; (And there was no way to check on your order, and you couldn&#039;t cancel it either.&nbsp; And they cashed the check as soon as they received it.)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Use the system at Baltimore, use the system (multiple people ordering multiple times).&nbsp; Either way open to anyone to do so.&nbsp; No one forced people to sell their coins to the big dealers in Baltimore, and the only people &quot;forced&quot; to stand in line were the ones PAID to do so.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>OK a very simple thought experiment.&nbsp; Imagine you have 100 one cent coins and 10 of them are wheat cents.&nbsp; Each of the non-wheats represents a small collector ordering say two coins.&nbsp; Each wheat cent represents a 50 coin order from a dealer. (or one dealer with ten employees each ordering 50 coins)&nbsp; Mix the coins up in a hat and start pulling out &quot;orders&quot; one at a time.&nbsp; Real quickly you will find that the dealer will still be receiving the bulk of the coins even if none of his ten orders are in the first 10 to 20 orders.</p><p><br /></p><p>And you do have to expect the dealers will be there trying to get their orders in as soon as ordering opens, just as the collectors do.&nbsp; The &quot;big orders&quot; get in early because the dealers try and order as soon as possible, like collectors, and they do make much larger orders.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
