<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 315721, member: 4626&quot;]In reality, there are basically six different coins in question here (a proof and unicrculated version of each of 3 different coins).&nbsp; They tend to get a little confusing with how many different permutations you can possibly get these six in.&nbsp; I&#039;m hoping personally one of them is the proofs of the silver dollar and clad half, or else I&#039;ll just get those two individually.I have no idea who dreams up the packaging combinations and how they mathematically figure out how to distribute the coins lol... I do know what the mintage limits are:</p><p><br /></p><p>gold $5: 100,000</p><p>silver $1: 500,000</p><p>clad 50c: 750,000</p><p><br /></p><p>That includes both unicircualted and proof, divided up amongst however many packaging combos they can dream up.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure they&#039;ll have to reserve a few for the prestige proof sets too.</p><p><br /></p><p>No idea how fast these will go.&nbsp; The thing that makes this things go fast is how much collectors and non-collectors feel the &quot;I must have that&quot; urge.&nbsp; Whether this will be like the Marine Corps dollar, or the Desegregation Dollar, or something in between, I have no idea... anyone hear alot of antincipatory buzz about these?&nbsp; That&#039;s the real test...</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway I&#039;m not taking my chances... got the day off anyway lol... want to be first in line this time.&nbsp; Still peeved I missed out on the Marine Corps dollar (did eventually get one 2 years later lol, but that&#039;s not the same thing as getting it right when it comes out) and more recently, World Series tickets in Denver... the internet owes me lol...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
