Westward Journey Coin and Medal Sets - Increased Mintages
Anyone notice that the mintages for the new WJC&M Sets is going to be
75,000 units compared to only 25,000 units in 2004? Guess the Mint noticed the nice secondary mark up and decided to cash in - so to speak. Wonder if there's much risk of a quick sell out? -- Ron K |

I think a lot of people will buy the 5 set limit in hopes of cashing in in
the secondary market. then the glut will hit ebay and people will be lucky to unload their extras. OR............ since there is a 5 set maximum, dealers and avid collectors will cause a quick sellout and the secondary market will spike with those who arn't savy enough to grab them from the mint. As for me.. I think 3 sets just might be coming my way. LOL "ronrpk" wrote in message ...

at least 2 sets here...ordered 2 of the '04's and only received one. Don't
know why they're so popular....the medal looks like something out of a gumball machine. "David Meadows" wrote in message news:1116939552.bf1d9d992203f4bf163f0fe928cad2d7@b ubbanews...

More than a month went by with me thinking they were in the bag, before the Mint informed me my order had been cancelled. I got none, and I'm not going to pay $60 for one. : ( |

May the mint screw you all royally and forget to send you a small
container or vaseline in the bargain! It's not coin collecting. oly |
