<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluedog, post: 108632, member: 3067&quot;]I just called the mint to determine what&#039;s up with the ben franklin coins and the ever-changing mint site. The recording says that none of the coins are available (scientist or ff) but you can still order the scientist coins and the coin and chronicles. You cannot order the ff.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, logically (I know, big mistake), I asked the rep why, if both coins are unavailable, can you order the scientist and not the ff. She said it&#039;s because the scientist hasn&#039;t reached it&#039;s limit yet. Huh? </p><p><br /></p><p>Can someone help out here on my understanding of this. The only thing I can think of is that there are two &quot;official&quot; mint limits (at least). One is the mintage limit. Say they are authorized to mint 250,000 coins and they get orders for 250,000 coins. That&#039;s the first limit. Then there is a second limit, say, for example, 50,000 above the first, to which they&#039;ll keep taking orders in case of cancellations or payment problems.</p><p><br /></p><p>So the scenario could be something like: 300,000 ff coins are &quot;sold&quot; and only 250,000 scientist coins. So the ff must be more popular.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
