Correct. And, as just one example, around 100,000 fewer people were willing to pay for each of 6, count 'em, 6 different Morgan and Peace Dollars in 2024 after the price was increased by $15 each. The same can be said for just about everything the Mint sells as prices increase, both due to precious metal price increases and Mint margin increases.
Unsustainable, because pretty soon there will not be enough people "willing to pay for it" for the various numismatic programs to be sustained in their present form. Especially not when the items are priced at such a level that they do not even retain their value in the secondary market.
