I was reading in the new January issue of Coinage Magazine. It says the Sacagewea Dollar and the Kennedy half will be made available to collectors only. So am I right to assume that these will only be available in mint sets then? On another note, according to the Coin Vault lastnight, they said the 2004 mint set has the lowest mintage for a mint set since 1963! And I looked at the mintage numbers for the 1963 mint set and its a low 606,612. The modern mint sets seem to have mintages well over 1 million units.

You can buy them in rolls or bags from the Mint. http://www.usmint.gov The 2004 mint and proof sets are selling for nice premiums now. With the 11 coin set being the first of its kind, this was a no brainer. There is an earlier thread in which I told the members here to buy early.   12-07-2004, 07:41 PM   #3 (permalink) mrlayance Junior Member   Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Winnipeg, MB Posts: 16 I might have to try and get my hands on one of those.

So the '05 edition will only the sets up to 2002 anyway. Of course if you subscribed to Coin World or Numismatic News - then you'd know the mintages looooooong before they ever came out in the Red Book __________________ knowledge ..... share it   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
