    It's just a matter of time before there'll be more options for ordering an ASE from the mint than there are for ordering a coffee at Starbucks.

    Personally, this is neither a reason to celebrate nor to mourn.

    The Mint makes some nice stuff. If you like it, buy it. If you didn't like it, why were you buying it in the first place? And if you expect your coins to go up and are disappointed that they don't, you probably should stop buying coins all together.

  • jmlanzafjmlanzaf Posts: 36,217 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I buy the coins I like from the Mint. I'm not going to boycott the Mint just because some of the stuff they make isn't appealing.

    Mintage Limit: 30,000
    Product Limit: 30,000
    Household Order Limit: 1

    Gosh, doesn't this make the 1995-W a semi-key?

    Has Phillip Diehl been reincarnated?

    And we don't even have to shell out an extra $1 Grand for a set of Gold Eagles to get one?

    30,000 mintage limit? The collector base for Silver Eagles must be shrinking.

    The Mint has finally killed the coin market.

    My prediction is that you will join the rush on the 14th, Icoopie. You won't be able to resist the hype or overnight profit potential. This isn't meant to be a criticism, just a guess. :)

    Congrats and thanks for sticking around! If you like the Mint stuff, collect it. It is not overly expensive (might be considered overpriced but that is different!) and some of it is of decent design.

    I think the mint puts out some nice stuff, now and again, but I have never purchased any of it (ASEs, AGEs, commems., burnished proofs, etc., etc., etc.)....Certainly too much for even the most dedicated collector to keep up with. If it's not business strike, Renaissance Era coinage, then I'm not really interested.

    Now if you ever feel like you need to take a bath, post that stuff on the BST.

    I bought a 1980 mint set.

    Just wait a couple years and most everything will cost less on the secondary market.

    Someday this won't work any longer and there will be no warning (unless you're the last one out ;) )

    In the vast majority of cases, you will come out ahead if you buy modern U.S. Mint issues in the secondary market. If it is a “hot issue” that sells out fast and nets big profits for those who got in “on the ground floor,” it’s best to forget about those coins if they don’t really turn you on as a collector. The record shows that years later most all of those coins come down too. That is if you are old enough to wait. ;)
