<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 826119, member: 18157&quot;]I just got off the phone with the US Mint. I&#039;m trying to find out why the Abigail Fillmore coin has been delayed and what that means for Anna Harrision sales. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The woman I spoke with (I forgot her name) didn&#039;t have much information to add. She didn&#039;t know why the Abigail Fillmore issue was delayed and didn&#039;t know what the new date would be...other than it &quot;should&quot; still be in March.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I asked what she knew about the end date for Anna Harrison sales. She acknowledged that Van Buren and Jackson coins had been sold after the next issue began. She didn&#039;t know when the Anna Harrision would go off sale.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I reviewed US CODE:<a href="http://www.cointalk.com/usc_sup_01_31.html" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/usc_sup_01_31.html"><span style="color: black">TITLE 31</span></a><span style="color: black"> &gt; </span><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/usc_sup_01_31_08_IV.html" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/usc_sup_01_31_08_IV.html"><span style="color: black">SUBTITLE IV</span></a><span style="color: black"> &gt; </span><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/usc_sup_01_31_08_IV_10_51.html" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/usc_sup_01_31_08_IV_10_51.html"><span style="color: black">CHAPTER 51</span></a><span style="color: black"> &gt; </span><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/usc_sup_01_31_08_IV_10_51_20_II.html" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/usc_sup_01_31_08_IV_10_51_20_II.html"><span style="color: black">SUBCHAPTER II</span></a><span style="color: black"> &gt; § 5112. This statute outlines the parameters of each coin program. The following passage would suggest that the FS coins would be issued for a 52 week period. However, the presidential coins are &quot;minted&quot; during that period, but as everyone knows, they are still being issued by the Mint.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What does this mean for First Spouse coins? Can unsold coins be later released by the Mint? Are the sales figures the &quot;Final Figures&quot;...or can unsold coins be released after the one (1) year mintage period? Are there existing First Spouse coins that were minted and not sold? What are the &quot;actual&quot; mintages and what will the final mintage figures be? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Some people (and I&#039;m one of those people) are making purchase decisions based on the understanding that the mintage figures (after one (1) year...52 weeks) is the final number and any remaining coins are melted and the dies are destroyed.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>If that&#039;s NOT the case, we need to know. The Mint should be required to answer these questions.</b> :hammer:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
