<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Westtexasbound, post: 1914568, member: 54086&quot;]In terms of getting the best quality of product.&nbsp; Common sense would say day 1.&nbsp; I have realized that buying on day one with the HOF coins (first hour) didn&#039;t get my coins out quick and the dealers that bought in huge quanities had theirs delivered and graded and for sale first.&nbsp; This got me thinking that the mint has to sell to the dealers well in advance.&nbsp; I am new so this might already be common knowledge.&nbsp; On another thread I asked if a coin should be returned.&nbsp; I bought an AGE 1oz.&nbsp; Some posters said if I wanted perfection then buy a MS70 aftermarket from the dealers.&nbsp; Do the dealers order thousands of the proofs before the &quot;common&quot; man....inspect them...cherry pick....then send back in mass.&nbsp; For example if the item goes on sale on Day 1 do the dealers get to buy on lets say a week before and the mint sends out say 1,000.&nbsp; Then the dealers keep lets say 100 and send 900 back.&nbsp; Do essentially those 900 become what the &quot;common&quot; man gets ordering on day 1.</p><p>If this is the case then it would seem better to order a few months in to allow the 900 in our example to get sent out and new coins to be produced and having a better shot at a perfect coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>D0 I even have a clue on this?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Is getting a MS70 from the mint even possible or is it the luck of the draw?&nbsp; Is it worth even sending in a coin for a replacement unless there is something significantly wrong with it?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am new to this so please share your experience and knowledge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
