Very good observation.

That way they don't have to have extra blanks on hand and money tied up in them.
That makes the most sense.... but of course we are dealing with the mint.

Just got my baby back from the mint today. Much better than the one I returned, but still not a 70. Now I am just waiting for a refund for the first one I bought.

I'm surprised, but I'm not surprised that both Jackson's Liberty and Adams Spouse has nearly the same mintage. It would be interesting to see where van buren's liberty ends up.

What would make you think that it would surpass it? Wouldn't the last coin produced typically be the high mark at least that is how this series is trending. With each successive coin produced, the mintages are less than the previous coin in the series.

no. the two liberties are most likely to get more sales. so the mintages should be higher than most of the series coming later on.

Just received an email from the mint..... both coins will be here Monday!!! Yeah!!!! Unfortunately, my computer with all my photo stuff on it is broken and needs some extensive repair so I won't be able to post the pics any time soon. I am on my work computer and can't upload anything to it. I do have another computer that has been down for some time and I am hoping that I will have it up by Monday.
