<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 475481, member: 66"]That is most likely correct, they probably had struck just a little over 30,000 pieces by the end of 2007 (What had already been ordered plus a small stockpile of uncs and proofs for future orders.) They continued selling until those ran out and since by law any coins struck have to bear the year of their mintage they were unable to strike any more 2007 coins. So they are effectively sold out.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The 40,000 maximum is written into the authorizing legislation so the mint CAN'T lower the maximum mintage. They can and have decided to let the actual mix of uncs and proofs bedecided by what is actually ordered and not specify a 20,000/20,000 split like they did on the first three. I think what the mint can, and should do is to just strike ahead of time the 5,000 proof and 3,000 uncs that Elaine mentioned, so they can be shipped as soon as the order period is opened and to handle he small trickle of orders that come in later. That way they don't have to have extra blanks on hand and money tied up in them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
