<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 2013914, member: 19065&quot;]The way I&#039;ve played many of these novelty releases is to put in an order, take a look at the coins in hand after they arrive (usually that&#039;s the only way I get to see them for the first time) and evaluate whether I&#039;ll keep it or return it. </p><p><br /></p><p>We have the 7-day return policy which really only costs the amount of return shipping if you opt to return the products. And we have to <i>see coins</i> in-hand to determine if we want to buy them or not. That&#039;s the only way for a collector to buy a coin, particularly expensive items like these. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think lots of people judge whether they will buy or not without ever seeing the coins and after they arrive don&#039;t take full advantage of just sending the coins back after having the chance to review them. Many seem resolved to keep them even if they feel indifferent about the coin once they have it in hand. </p><p><br /></p><p>There used to be many mail order coin outlets that would send coins monthly for collectors to review and send back what they didn&#039;t buy. In some fashion, the Mint offers this service, albeit a short 7-day window of opportunity. If the Mint persists in turning all their offerings into &quot;products&quot; and produces in such large quantities, provides only slick cartoonish-looking marketed images online of the coins for review, then there&#039;s no other way to review the coins, and the Mint are operating just like a &#039;Littleton&#039; type firm that offers in home review.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think this product is that appealing to all Kennedy collectors and if you have a favorite of the four coins, it&#039;s probably a better use of your collecting funds to just seek that single piece out in the after market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
