I believe the Perth Mint’s for-sale-coins are adjusted each day for world prices.
Why couldn’t the US Mint get with the same program?
The Mint should make arrangements to re-open the Carson City Mint and sell limited amounts of coins direct to the public on a limited basis. The selling of the 25th Anniversary Silver Set with limits wasn’t advertised well. It seems a limited few got the sets and then kicked them back to the public that had missed purchase for a significant profit.

The Mint should insure that the public gets a better shake than they did with these silver sets and enroll everyone on a membership basis to take a small minimum of these special event coins so you don’t have to see eBay with pages and pages of the Silver Dollar Sets and coins for sale at a great premium to the folks who weren’t properly informed of the sale by the Mint.

Did anyone notice that the mint lowered the price of the gold commemorative coins to $497.85 for the proof, $487.85 for unc, only to raise the price back up 4 hours later to $512.15 for the proof and $500.00 for the unc. With the velocity of the gold market, anyone who would purchase these gold commemoratives at this time would be throwing good money away.
Your best bet would be to go to a local coin show and purchase these commemorative gold coins. No sells tax and shipping. That is what I’m going to do.

Michael – I need your help.

Why is it that if today’s SPOT price for gold wasn’t taken into consideration for today’s U.S. Mint weekly adjustment for its gold products? I was expecting a two (or possibly) three tier adjustment. What gives?

Will Nickels and Pennies Soon Disappear?

Back in December 2006, the US Mint, in yet another power grab over economic life, made it illegal to melt pennies and nickels in addition to exporting large quantities of either. Though the Mint admitted there was no evidence coin melting was occurring, this was the government’s attempt at being proactive to prevent the destruction of its legally imposed currency…
