<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 25949235, member: 101855&quot;]The mint has a monopoly on the issues of new coins, so they engage in monopoly pricing. The agency does not have a monopoly in the aftermarket, however. If you are willing to wait, you might well end up with the coins you want a few years later for less money.</p><p><br /></p><p>I’m still steamed at their pricing for coins that could be sold to YNs, however. Why they think that more than $50 is justified for a base metal commemorative half dollar is beyond me. In the old days they put out information cards with coins mounted in them which were “young people friendly.” They don&#039;t do that any more. The mint is just greedy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
