[QUOTE="ANM, post: 8058030, member: 117383"]I received an email from NAXION with an invitation to participate in a survey for the U S Mint on its performance and products. Can anyone confirm that it is legitimate? I would like to participate but am reluctant to click on any link sent to me unsolicited via email because of the possibility of it being malware or some other virus. I would welcome the opportunity to comment on the Mint's poor procedures and performance when it comes to sale of the low production American Eagles and other high demand coins like the Morgans and Peace dollars this year. Their current procedures basically screw their most loyal customers. I think the majority of those problems could be eliminated if they would open those special products to PRE BUY - (NOT PRE ORDER) and commit to filling every order received (with household limits low) and payed for during a specified period such as 2 weeks. That would permit anyone wanting to purchase the coins to do so without the current hassle of BAD GATEWAY, ETC. experiences. That will tell the mint how many to produce based upon the number of competed sales plus any number of additional they want to produce for future sales. It should also limit the number of coins purchased by collectors and speculators in excess of what they want for themselves. Under the current policies many go to those with the intent of making money off of collectors who are unable to buy them no matter how timely their attempt to purchase them are because of the failure of the mint's computer system to handle the traffic. I would also like to see them end the practice of reserving and selling large quantities of these to coins dealers which I have heard is the current practice. Why should they get special treatment? Anyway, if anyone knows for sure that the link in the email is legitimate, I would appreciate it if they would share that knowledge. Thank you.[/QUOTE]
