I'm wondering if we will see mintage numbers low due to the Coronavirus. Will it be like the numbers from 2009?
I received an email from the mint not long ago. The gist of the thing was that they were continuing on with business strikes but stopping production of numismatic products until Covid-19 is in the rear view mirror..... So on the surface of the thing I would think there may be some numismatic stuff that may end up with low mintage numbers.
Probably not. The FED orders were placed late last year and I haven't heard they were adjusting them (hard to to, as the mint orders supplies like coin blanks based on the FED orders). Remember that 2008 was not affected, but 2009 was... takes a while for the knock-on effects.
