<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1462251, member: 19065&quot;]Sales figures and mintage of numismatic products have become one and the same, so mintage is the amount of coins released by the mint for these products. It doesn&#039;t matter if its an even number like 100,000 of some coin that sold out fast, a fraction of 500,000 coins where this number was the maximum mintage allowed by the coin legislation, or some figure arrived at from the amount of orders placed in a set period of time, such as this product we are discussing. </p><p><br /></p><p>Even if the Mint has over produced (minted) the amount of coins it needs to fulfill all orders before a given product goes off-sale, the mintage will be determined by what is released (per orders placed) and all extra coins kept in inventory at the Mint will eventually be destroyed, as I mentioned earlier in the 2009 UHR example. We often don&#039;t know final mintage of numismatic products for many months after a coin is no longer available for sale. In the case of circulation strikes that may extend to not knowing for a couple of years. Such figures are adjusted in either products minted during the months and years after minting stops and all excess inventory is destroyed.</p><p><br /></p><p>What prevents the Mint from extending the order deadline of this product is their reputation amongst customers/collectors. They have stated &#039;mint to demand&#039; means ordering is only available for the defined period of time. To reverse that after orders have been being placed would risk angering many of those existing orders placed. </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course the Mint needs to have an excess on hand if they are going to issue exchanges of this product, but the Mint have not stated a return policy for this product that is any different than their existing one. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not able to call the Mint to inquire about the return policy of this product, but if someone feels up to it and wouldn&#039;t mind reporting back, I&#039;d appreciate hearing what you learn about this.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have also mentioned this in a previous post somewhere, but if orders&nbsp; placed now are cancelled prior to being shipped to the customer, will&nbsp; the odometer reflect negative positions in its daily calculation?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
