Message:: [QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 422140, member: 9474"]Sales numbers can typically be found weekly in each issue of Numismatic News. According to NN, the first three first spouse coins (Washington, Adams and Jefferson) which quickly sold out, met the the max 20,000 mintage for each coin, both unc and proof. The forth FS coin (Madison) of 2007 wasn't as lucky with only 11,964 and 17,974 minted for UNC and proof, respectively. It was somewhere during this time that the mint changed how mintages were determined. Instead of minting 20,000 for each unc and proof, the mint has now let the public determine how many of each coin should be minted with a total mintage of 40,000 for each spouse represented.  For example previously, you could only have 20,000 max for each coin (both unc and proof), but now if 25,000 sells of the proof, you can only have 15,000 max for the unc.  The Monroe FS has 4,134 and 7,128 for both UNC and Proof, respectively. Louisa Adams has 2,521 and 4,411 for both UNC and Proof, respectively. In addition to the new Jackson FS coin, the Madison, Monroe, and Adams first spouse coins (both proof and unc) are still available from the mint.  These numbers were out of the Sept 2 issue of NN and reflect the numbers obtained as of 8/17.  Hope this helps.[/QUOTE]
