The US Mint should not only take the future sales of ATBs away from them, they should fully de-authorize them of ALL PRIVILEGES they receive as an AP.<br />The APs have snubbed their noses at the US Mint and the public enough. They made their own rules and spat on everyone else. <br />If they don't punish them for not following the rules, why have any rules at all? One forced the public buy other products, one only sold to walk-ins, and it's very clear that they sold out the back doors to the Pros. Being an AP is an extension of the arm of the US Mint, and the public should demand they be removed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-20808057104096588302011-04-01T14:34:52.437-07:002011-04-01T14:34:52.437-07:00A 5-oz ASE 25th anniversary coin is an excellent i...A 5-oz ASE 25th anniversary coin is an excellent idea.

The Mint will be the one gouging big-time on those. Since the AP's had to sell for no more than a 10% mark-up, the Mint should have to sell the ones they have for around that same level, with the normal mark-up for numismatic items. In other words, if the AP's could not take advantage of the much higher silver spot price now, then the Mint shouldn't get to either. The coins were all struck at the same time, and acquisition costs for the metal were the same.<br /><br />The Mint dragging their feet on these will net them a LOT more revenue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-31598378235799186372011-03-30T10:54:16.089-07:002011-03-30T10:54:16.089-07:00And speaking of those 5 ounce ATBs, how about how ...And speaking of those 5 ounce ATBs, how about how quickly those sales by JackHunt went!

It is pathetic how behind the times the mint is. We get things like one reverse proof release and a bigass 5 oz coin, and we eat it up. Oh and lets not forget the 2009 UHR eagle. It looks nice but it isn't innovative. Big deal, they made a double-thick coin (which others have been doing FOREVER), and didn't even make a new design, because their stupid design-by-committee couldn't design a good coin to save their lives. They just used a design that had been sitting around for many decades. Not only that, they didn't even do it properly, and made it pure gold instead of the original alloy.<br /><br />Other mints are much more innovative with much more attractive designs.
