Numismatics and misogyny, but no one ever said you can’t have two hobbies.

Ah well, Major D, I do believe that the Golden Rule (Version Number II) applies here, as in “He who has the gold makes the rules.”

Now see, Tom, this is exactly the kind of thing that can happen whenever I don’t take the greatest of pains to gather all my facts first. In fact, it is quite possible Elvis never did leave the building and Amelia may currently be enjoying her 126th birthday celebration on some uncharted Pacific atoll.

ah, but coins can only be of deceased people. The National Enquirer and other such magazines tells us Ms. Earhart is still alive, just like Elvis….:)

It’s one thing to start out with an HOL=1. It’s quite another to start out with an HOL=3 for subscriptions, then force a reduction to HOL=1 after one has already enrolled for 3. I thought that when the subscriptions equaled available product, then no more would be available. Going back and taking from early orders is wrong in my book.

We can always hope, Antonio, that Ms. Earhart is already on deck and will indeed be part of this series. If not, since there will likely be others equally worthy whom this cycle of releases might also miss, perhaps the series can be extended at least another year or so to encompass a more inclusive range and selection of especially memory-and-honor-worthy American women.

The Mint, Major D, is in a curious and interesting position when it comes to setting the Household Order Limits when it comes to certain very popular Subscriptions such as these for the ultra-desirable AWQ 3 Roll Sets. Ideally the Mint might out of the goodness of its mechanical heart want to make it possible for its individual collector customers to be able to acquire more than a single 3 Roll Set each for the purpose of gifting or trading, for example. However and most unfortunately so, this arrangement would simultaneously enable the Big Buyers to get back into dominating the game employing a method reminiscent of their old tactics by way of paying commissions to thousands of contract purchasers to scoop up as many of the available subscriptions as they could and thereby leave us little folk once again ending up with the dregs or quite likely nothing at all. Therefore the Mint finds itself with no alternative but to drop the HOL down to the minimum of 1 in order to try its best to mitigate the effect of the brute buying force brought to bear by the major distributors, huge buying clubs/groups and organized flippers. In essence, we can’t have it both ways, and I for one am much happier to end up with one AWQ 3 Roll Set rather than none at all.

It can be like a cracker jack prize. Part of the finders collection. Like Wonka tickets

Fingers crossed on that ordering extras part- I’m bracing for the Mint to send another e-mail out about it reducing the number down to 1 because of heavy demand (just like what happened to the Wong PDS 3-roll set)
