2010-P 3″5oz Hot Springs ((Numismatic Version)) Launches April 28th Mintage 27 K Price $279 each

“Jim Hausman of The Gold Center in Springfield, Ill., sold about 600 sets of America the Beautiful 5-ounce silver coins at $975 each on Jan. 3.
That should make him a happy businessman, right? Uh, not so much.
“These coins were supposed to go to collectors, and they went to profiteers,” Hausman said.
And he puts the blame for that right on the U.S. Mint.
“They screwed up,” Hausman said.
The Mint had planned to strike 100,000 of the five-coin sets, but there were problems with the first coins that were struck, so it ended up producing only 33,000 sets.
So the Mint decided to distribute the coins to its 11 authorized purchasers, of which nine decided to participate in the sales, and set limits on the sale price ($975) and quantity (one per household).
“If General Motors or Ford would dictate to their dealers out there and do the same thing the U.S. Mint did to their distributors, all those people from General Motors and Ford would be in jail for price fixing,” Hausman said.
“But the government figures it can do whatever it wants.”
The limited mintage sparked high demand for the coins, in effect turning a bullion coin into a collector coin.
Which is why people started gathering outside The Gold Center the night before the sale was to begin.
“People were pitching tents outside,” Hausman said. “This is a high security facility. No one is allowed here.”
With the help of local law enforcement, the crowd was dispursed, but Hausman estimates about 500 people gathered outside the building the morning of the sale.
But not all of them were collectors he as would find out.
Someone had hired 50 to 60 people from a local employment agency to stand in line and purchase sets, Hausman said. But as soon as he found out about it, he told the group he wouldn’t sell sets to them.
“Then another person put someone at a restaurant three blocks from here paying people $250 apiece to come over here and buy sets,” Hausman said.
