Anonymous Mint Hh Limit Compliance Survey

I have no problem posting that I bought two.
Both are for my collection, I may at some point
sell one set at a profit.

I get the feeling that some think the mint is putting
out products, just for the individual collector.

I don't think that.

The biggest customers for the mint are coin dealers. And have been for years. The dealers buy multiples of most
the mint offerings.

In recent years there have been a rise in individuals
buying mint products to resale at a profit. Sometimes
it works out sometimes they lose money.

The mint puts out a lot of surveys. I have taken several.
I know they get responses for limited mintage collectables.

I believe the mint tries to provide products for all the
different types of customers they have.

When you have limited mintage, someone in all those groups
are not going to get to purchase all the products they hope to.

In the past, when they have raised the mintages on some
products, they have killed the collector value of those
coins. We saw that on the 2012 and 2013 ASE sets. They
up the mintage and now those sets trade at below issue price.

There is no real way to make all the groups happy.
The coin shops, individuals and the flippers are
all a part of this hobby.

If I was not lucky enough to purchase a limited mintage
product. I would do one of three things.
Buy one at the inflated price.
Wait a year or so, and buy at a adjusted price (good chance lower)
Not buy one at all, and move on.

Guests (non-members) can vote, so assume it was a troll.

I purchased four the first day and had my cousin buy two. My gf tried to get to for me to flip but got shut out. I will keep two for my collection and then save the rest for trading in case I can't get Kennedy or LBJ. Once I have secured those two Presidential sets, I will sell my extra Ikes for a nice fat profit to offset the hundreds of dollars in lost value from buying US Mint proof sets from the mint during the State Quarter years.

What goes around comes around, and I first started coin collecting in 2005 by buying the proof sets and annual coin sets directly from the mint only to have them be worth a fraction of what I paid (I paid inflated dealer prices for '99-04 to make it worse). Now I am making money on something from the mint. Perhaps in the future I will lose out on stuff. I see this as like the stock market. You make money on some stocks and you lose money. Got to ride the ups with the downs.

Sorry...incorrect post (mine)

Since the purpose of the poll is to see if the HH limits worked there would be no point for collectors who were not interested to respond..

Point two is right on with the addition of "tried but failed"

Nice looking groups, Debrajc!

awesome, Debrajc.
