<p>[QUOTE=&quot;walterallen, post: 404396, member: 4068&quot;]Forgive me for sounding like a pessimist or a cynic, but the US Mint IMHO is in this for the money and only the money. I don&#039;t think they care about coin collectors and their love of coins when they sell products (today&#039;s Mint). Yes the mint does produce coins specially for collectors, such as, proofs, mint sets, commemoratives, just to name the obvious. But, specially today, these coin command a high premium over their face values...PROFIT for the mint!</p><p><br /></p><p>The mint wouldn&#039;t discontinue mintages unless they were sure the demand had died and production costs out weighed the profit return. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve learned to live without dealing with the mint. Actually I can&#039;t afford the mints prices. I&#039;ll wait and get them after they drop in demand and the prices falls, if they do that is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Keep on Collecting!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Allen[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
