<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBK, post: 311140, member: 1101&quot;]I might very well be wrong, but I disagree that the Mint would have made an endless supply.&nbsp; In theory, there was an open-ended production - in other words, no pre-set mintage ceiling - but these coins must be struck prior to the end of the year, and since the Mint must gear up to start making the next year&#039;s coins in December there was in effect a mintage limit.&nbsp; The problem is, the Mint does not give advance notice when they will shut it off.&nbsp; The same thing happened last year and that is why so many were caught of guard when the 2006 W SEs were shut off.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The Mint really makes these coins to meet a reasonable &quot;anticipated&quot; demand, and when the calendar runs out or if there is another factor (such as running out of cases), demand is no longer a consideration.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I offer this as a general perspective on the Mint&#039;s minting practices, not as further commentary on who did or did not procrastinate in ordering 2007W SEs.&nbsp; People should know that &quot;no mintage limit&quot; does not mean they will be able to order whenever they want to.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
