<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 956661, member: 66"]Typically it is only the commemorative coins that have authorized mintage limits (It has happened a fe times on proof sets and proof bullion coins). Most other coins have no limits and the mint can make as many as they can sell. If they don't have a legislated maximum naturally you won't know the production until a little while after it has ended. Part of the discussion you see about "low production levels" on things like the Park quartrs is actually speculation based on previous production of past issues combined with thing like announcements that the Fed is sitting on a huge number of quarters and there is really no need to strike more for a long time. SO the Fed doesn't want them and has no need for them, but the Mint has a production schedule for making them. Speculation is that production will drop tremendously (possibly only enough for roll sets, bag sets, and mint sets. with none for actual circulation)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
