Reverse proof as a single, ohh no!!!

morgansforever

So when will the Mint decide to offer the reverse proof, as a single?? Lots of rumors floating around, gee I hope not.

Does anyone think this subject has been discussed by the Mint upper management??

The mint released a statement that there will not be any single reverse proofs this year. There is a thread on here that states this.

Thats what I wanted to here, didn't realize this topic was discussed.

IMO, count on seeing reverse proofs regularly after year-end. The mint is focused on getting as much of our wallet-share as possible.

With an ever-increasing product line, if collectors are buying much more heavily directly from the mint, my guess it means a lot less purchasing from coin dealers.

Which means prices for the classics go down, and I can actually buy what I like.

They will probably announce the single proof reverse from 2006 for sale on Jan 1 2007, shipping in May of 2007, given the history.

There is not alot of time left in 2006 for them to mint and get a coin out. They may decide to do it in 2007, but who cares.

they're already insisted they wont do this for 2006.

who knows, they can do the same thing in 2007, set a limited mintage of 20k, and charge 6xs melt value for them.
2006 will always be the key date, I dont think they'll ever mint less than 10k.

Ya know, is it really a coincidence that the coin market bubble is deflating a bit at the same time that the USMint is turning out handfuls of commems yearly, increasing the number of bullion coins (gold buffalo, reverse proof, satin finish uncs, etc)???

I think you were tongue in cheek with your post, but there may be a tiny part of it that is true.

There will be a Reverse Proof single and/or 3-coin set next year (for the platinums' 10-year anniversary.) It's far to tempting for them considering the success of the silver and gold versions this year.

That's what the mint said, they wouldn't do this in 2006, there is nothing saying they will not release the 2006 single reverse proof in January of 2007. They like strict word interpretation in their marketing.

If they try to pull this trick, they will amaze even me! And there will be a collector revolt of unprecedented scale!
