2007 madison's spouse - (P) 18,355, (D) - 12,541 sold out | What Elaine stated is true as far as the mint just stopped minting the Madison FS coin. Could be that the mint has exhausted all their current inventory on the shelf and are no longer minting the coin.
As far as total mintage goes, starting with the Madison FS coins. There is no longer a 20,000 mintage limit for each type of coin. The mint has decided to allow a 40,000 total mntage for each series with the total mintage for both the unc and proof coins to be determined by us, the consumer. So as an example, you can have 22,459 proofs and 17,541 uncs... or any combination for both types of coins that equal 40,000.
