This is a great thing. I had begun to lose hope that the Mint would bring back the platinum coins and thus create an immense rarity. Fortunately, they were able to regroup and offer lower prices. It took them awhile but they did the right thing.
Finally! I ordered mine yesterday. I don’t want to take any more chances. With physical metal being a rarity on the market, I could see a sell out of these for the first time in many years.
Well the mint wants to perform like a coin retailer now.
In the past when the Mint put a price on a coin that was the price for the remainder of the coins run reguardless of what the secondary market (Ebay, Coin Vault, Ect.)was selling the coin for.
Then they tried to chase the spot price and raised the price, then removing the item for sale now returning it at a greatly reduced price. Well we hardcore collectors who bought the coin when it first hit the market are now denied a refund of the difference in price. It was sited to me that I had 30 day to return the item. They did not make public the reduced price for over 30 days. How can we decide with out all the information. Can we all get together and form a class action suit to address this obvious defrauding of the collecting community? When did the mint turn into a late night infomercial?
Thank you
