<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tracy5900, post: 110686, member: 4560&quot;]<b>set up by the mint</b></p><p><br /></p><p>it seems that the u.s. mint set it up the limit on maximum mintages for each four category.&nbsp; namely founding father proof &amp; unc.&nbsp; and the scientist proof &amp; unc.&nbsp; the maximum for unc is 58,000 for founding father and 58,000 for scientist. why?. because the mint want to promote uncirculated by issueing more pieces than the proof.&nbsp; why?&nbsp; because the mint earned more from the uncirculated rather from the proof.&nbsp; remember the price is $33.00 for unc and $35.00 for proof.&nbsp; before it was based on how many pieces they can sell for each category until it reaches maximum.&nbsp; another clever move by the mint.&nbsp; the loser is the collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
