<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Good Cents, post: 5004367, member: 100720&quot;]My understanding of the purpose of the Mint&#039;s general mission in selling to the public is to generate profits which then offsets the expenses of making coins and currency which would otherwise require our tax dollars. The Mint is very rare in terms of Federal Agencies in that it is a &quot;Self Sustaining&quot; Agency of the Federal Government. The Mint also recently raised their prices on a lot of common collectors items. That&#039;s another reason why it is upsetting. They could have made a LOT of money on these 2 coins. But they gave that profit to Flippers and eBay instead. And then we, collectors, are left paying higher prices for the Mint&#039;s standard stuff. &lt;sigh&gt;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
