[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 4526576, member: 101855"]To a point, yes, but the mint issued enough of them so that a collector, like me, could buy one. A mintage of 1,945 is ridiculous. This will sell out in five minutes and the flippers who get it will have a field day. The mint shows total disrespect toward its loyal customers when it pulls crap like this. The author of this editorial is exactly right. It’s time for collectors to just say [B]NO[/B]. I hope that the market value for this abomination equals its melt value. It would serve the flippers right. The trouble is the flippers would return them for a refund if this impossibility were to occur. I have seen them brag about sending stuff back on the blogs when something didn’t take off in the market.[/QUOTE]
