[QUOTE="NMBSURFER1, post: 731093, member: 19951"]Latest information from the mint: " the US Mint announced this week that it would [URL="http://www.coinnews.net/2009/11/04/braille-commemorative-silver-dollar-deadline-announced/"]stop selling Braille dollars[/URL] after 5:00 p.m. ET on Dec. 11. For the record, a total of 202,655 of the authorized 400,000 silver dollars have been sold." It would appear that this series is a bust based on only half of the authorization being sold with only a month left. More specifically is the Education Set with a maximum mintage authorized of 25,000 yet only 8,000 being sold. So, the question is, do we have a long term sleeper here or is it destined to be a coin that will never have collector value?[/QUOTE]
