Numismatic News is where I get mine from. Although the numbers they publish are a few weeks behind, the numbers are usally pretty good and on their mark.

Can you be more specific? I have looked on the mint web site and I haven't been able to find sales figures.

 

you have to follow the links on the left hand side from their home page. they put figures there from time to time. otherwsie i beleive numismatic news also publishes those numbers monthly

 

Nothing there now. I did find the following at: http://firstspousegold.us/blog/category/mintage/

First Spouse Gold Coin Mintages as of October 7, 2008

Unc. Proof Combined
Martha Washington 20,000 20,000 40,000
Abigail Adams 20,000 20,000 40,000
Thomas Jefferson’s Liberty 20,000 20,000 40,000
Dolley Madison 12,742 18,105 30,847
Elizabeth Monroe 4,191 7,244 11,435
Louisa Adams 2,663 4,651 7,314
Andrew Jackson’s Liberty 2,423 4,183 6,606

This suggests that since the Dolley Madison is no longer available from the mint, that the remainder of production will not be released. Does anyone know?

 

Thats a good question. I don't know how that works. Dose the mint continue to sell the coins that they have in stock once the one year limit has been reached? Or do they just end that issue when the one year is up and everything left over is melted? Good question. Someone like Doug or Hobo may have an answer for this.

 

I wish I knew. Seems like in years past the Mint only sold coins during their year of issue but that no longer seems to be the case. (You can buy bags of 2000 Sac Dollars in 2008.)

 

That's what I was thinking. If there is an ending date mandated by law you would think the Mint would inform the public of that date. They could add something to their web site like, "Not available after 12/31/08."

 

I have the same impression. It's like those ads on TV that say you have to call within the next 10 minutes. They want people to worry about a sellout so they will place their orders early.
