Well it will be on the LAST CHANCE sale for sure...
Just wondering what Elaine thought, as to when they sell out, but if they don't it wouldn't surprise me

 

"o.k. i resume reporting. here are the latest figures:" Hi, my 2010 Redbook shows the Satin Finish uncirculated mintage as follows. 2007(649,076), 2008(663,136). Both of those mint sets did'nt have a listed mintage in the 2009 Redbook. Are those mintage figures correct? Ebay seems to pay a higher premium on the 2008 set, over the lower mintage 2007 set(i assume it's because people are'nt aware that 2007 is lower). If those 2010 Redbook mintage figures are accurate, then the 2007 set is the lowest mintage Satin Finish set. And with the four new Lincoln cents included in the 2009 Satin Finish uncirculated mint sets, it might set alltime records(It will surely not unseat the 2007 set for lowest mintage). So, i'm just looking for some confirmation that the 2010 Redbook mintage figures are accurate on the 07 & 08 sets. Thanks!

 

here are the correct mintage for mint uncirculated set:

2006 - 934,360
2007 - 907,268
2008 - 758,034 (lowest so far)

 

Elaine's numbers are probably better than the Redbook, anyway the 2008 mint set is pricey because the Mint cut off production early

 

red book is mainly and famous for teaching you how to collect coins. as far as mintage and prices. most of it were not accurate. specially the prices. since prices fluctuated every minute and every second. just like the stock market. so who ever publish the book, magazine or newsletter were always not accurate. in order to get the up to date prices. e-bay is one of them. take the average. or directly going to website to check prices from coin dealers. the agree price between you and them. that is the price. or look at dealers coin price list or catalog. that is another way to get the price.

 

I'm not sure if that is the true redbook figures. I just get figures from website searches and compare. I find my figures but not Elaines. It must be Elaine is getting the true Mint figures. many website figures are probably outdated or inaccurate. Most of my price guides are inline with the websites though.

 

i remembered the mint even sell modern commemorative silver dollars at bulk rate to the dealers without c.o.a., boxes, and certificates. only coin and coin capsules. the price is around 10% lower. i think is was 1993. is the mint frequently do that to the dealers?. are those coins added to the mintage?. is the mint report this to the public?. i really don't know.

 

2007 mint set

After searching the web i read where the 2007 mint set sales lasted a long time. They were on sale until July of 2008, and on the mint's last chance sale. I wonder why these price guides list mintage for each coin type(example: Kennedy half dollar, P mint, D mint, S mint are all listed/ along with mintage & pricing). But P & D satin finish are not listed, that seems very strange to me. The price guides should have this format. Kennedy half dollar, P mint, P mint(satin), D mint, D mint(satin), S mint. I also have seen the TV coin pushers selling bulk Commemoratives only in capsules, no boxes or COA's. Now i know why!

my analysis:

1. american native dollar p & d mint mark might be around 80,000,000 total for this year.
2. dimes and nickels might be the final mintages.
3. president polk p mint mark might be the final mintage.
4. lincoln professional life d mint mark might be the final mintage too.

 

The American Samoa mintages are looking real good so far!!! Just one more month and they'll be moving on to the US Virgin Islands.

I'd think I like the info better, good or bad, if I understood the source of the data, where are these figures from, elaine_1970? Can you link to a source or cite a document? Very curious about your reporting here and on every thread you post without sources. You have a good following on CT I see but I'm not so easily wooed and need more reassurance. Thanks in advance.

 

i recommend collectors to buy or subscribe to these:

the coin dealer newsletter
numismatic news/coin market
coin world/coin value
red book
standard catalog of world coins
standard catalog of world paper money
mri bankers' guide to foreign currency

 

Thanks, I've got most of those already, but a couple new ones will be great.

 

to know how it works.

example: let's use the coin dealer newsletter:

silver coins: bid $100.00 ask $110.00 = those prices are for licensed dealers use only. since we are only the collectors or general public. the formula will be. if you want to sell. most likely the dealer or store owner will buy from you 10% below $100.00 (if they need it badly) 20% below $100.00 (if they have stocks). now if you want to buy from them. mostly likely they will sell to you at 25% to 33% over ask price of $110.00. and if you lucky enough. you might get it for 10% over ask price or lesser. for gold coins. the gap will not be that high in percentage.

if you buy a coin for $133.00 at high end. and you sell that coin at low end for $80.00. you going to lose 40% for that the same piece of coin. so it is very hard to make a profit. but most people were collectors. they don't care about profit or loss. they just want to collect them as a hobby.

 

2009 ameircan eagle bullion one ounce gold - 682,500
2009 american eagle bullion one ounce silver - 14,099,500

 

my estimation for mint year end production:

cent - 2,800,000,000
nickel - 79,680,000
dime - 146,000,000
quarter - 700,000,000
half $ - 3,400,000
am native - 80,000,000
prez $ - 400,000,000

commemt: why made so many cent and dollar?. the mint might have to produce more quarter. that's the most popular one. double up the nickel and dime.

 

That is why Ebay is good (for selling)

also what is a "licensed dealers"
