They raised the mintage limit to 271,520. On the one hand, I applaud the Mint for making more sets than they originally intended, because anyone who wants one should be able to get one, especially for the 250th. However, changing the mintage limit after a coin goes on sale is simply wrong and very shady. It means the "limit" is arbitrary. We've also seen it happen with other 2026 coins where sales exceed the "mintage limit." Can they get away with it? Obviously. But is it really, really bad from a public relations and marketing standpoint? Yep.  |

I think mintage limits are rather arbitrary. If demand is or isn't there, a shortage of planchets, whatever.

They raised the mintage limit to 271,520. Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where the car rental company had his reservation but didnt have his car. Jerry: "But the reservation keeps the car here. That's why you have the reservation." Agent: "I know why we have reservations." Jerry: "I don't think you do... See you know how to take the reservation, you just don't know how to hold the reservation." The mint is good at setting limits, just doesn't know how to hold the limit. Oh, well, my order is due in November, better late than never. PS: I wonder how, or if, that little bump in mintage will affect the secondary market. Hope it takes the edge off. |
