You can also find the figures from CW referenced&nbsp; in several other threads prior to this one. You might also inquire directly with CW and the US Mint to see if&nbsp; they have revised their published figures before putting faith in the&nbsp; Mint&#039;s product page for the 1/10th oz. proof coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>From each of the product pages on the US Mint web site, they state the following:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If <i>coinmaster1</i> will now please add 39,000 units of each coin from a&nbsp; four-coin Proof AGE set to the products listed above to determine the actual&nbsp; mintage limit he will see how the mintage of 1/10th oz. coins is greater&nbsp; than 27k, and the product page is incorrect by not including the word&nbsp; &quot;single&quot; in it&#039;s description. The Mint did not say &quot;single coin product limit&quot; for the 1/10th oz, but&nbsp; that may well prove to be a typo soon revised to reflect actual&nbsp; mintage limits previously published and provided originally by the Mint. </p><p><br /></p><p>What with the number of 4-coin sets (39,000), that 27k stated for the 1/10th oz. represents&nbsp; less than the number of stated sets there are also stated to be sold by 12,000 units! The four-coin set&nbsp; is NOT the only way to obtain the 1/10 oz. proof coin as it has it&#039;s own&nbsp; product page for that. </p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t believe everything the Mint tells you coinmaster1, it is likely an&nbsp; error and the US Mint reserves the right to change the product listing, especially if they are in err.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Therefore, as stated above, quoting published figures from a major numismatic publishing house, who are themselves quoting the U.S. Mint, the 2010-W Proof AGE mintage limits are set at:</p><p><br /></p><p>Proof AGE One Oz.:<b> 25,000 <span style="color: darkred">+</span></b><b>39,000<span style="color: darkred">*</span></b> <b>= <span style="color: blue">64,000</span></b></p><p>&nbsp; Proof AGE One-Half Oz.:<b> 15,000</b> <b><span style="color: darkred">+</span>39,000<span style="color: darkred">*</span></b> <b>= <span style="color: blue">54,000</span></b></p><p>&nbsp; Proof AGE One-Quarter Oz.:<b> 16,000</b> <b><span style="color: darkred">+</span>39,000<span style="color: darkred">*</span></b> <b>= <span style="color: blue">55,000</span></b></p><p>Proof AGE One-Tenth Oz.: <b>27,000</b> <b><span style="color: darkred">+</span>39,000<span style="color: darkred">*</span></b> <b>= <span style="color: blue">66,000</span></b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b><span style="color: darkred">*39,000</span></b> representing the coins of each size/denomination in the allotted four-coin sets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
