All about mintage, statistics & data

This isn't entirely true anymore.

Since 1965 the mint set coins have been specially produced and were reported with from the regular issue coins until 1998. Since that time these numbers have been reported separately. The six coin sets, bags, rolls, and other such coins are sometimes specially made but are usually run of the mill and will "always" show up with the regular issue totals.

It is unclear why they started separating these numbers but it is likely because production techniques are so much different that the mint has to keep them seperate in other ways as well. While mint set quality has not improved so much in recent years it has become more consistent and uniform. The switch to the satin finish may accelerate this.

statistics and data

subscribe to numismatic news. every week, you get u.s. mint report on mintages. most new products are listed.

 

I haven't seen the 2004 sets but in the 2005 sets the non-proof nickels are satin finish not circulation strike.

 

The link you provided was for the total mintages of each nickle. The question was where the information was obtained for the 6pc set that was talked about, not individual nickle mintages.

There is a lot of good info in this thread. I have been to CoinFacts and the mint website. However, does anyone have or know where I can get a downloadable text or MSExcel file containing US coin mint statistics for 1793 - present broken down by type and mint? I can put it together myself from sources such as CoinFacts, but I figure why re-invent the wheel. Thanks.

 

Well, here is my attempt to compile mintage stats. The majority of these numbers come from CoinFacts, there were a few I found from other sources, websites, the mint, etc. This sheet contains the major US coin types. There are some types that had gaps in mintage years and they are represented under the type with zero for the mintage. I represented it this way as I plan to database this information. I make no claim as to accuracy, so don't bet the bank on any of these numbers. If I missed any type or represented it incorrectly, sorry. But, feel free to correct it in your copy. Hope someone finds this interesting.
