Up to date mintages or production figures

The Mint already has the correct term, "mintage": 2009 mintage, 2010 mintage...

This could be expressed as 2009 (X) coins minted in 2010 plus 2010 (X) coins minted in 2010 equals (X) number of coins minted (to date / in this year). Of those (X) number of coins minted in 2010, (X) number were sold so far this year (or in (X) month, or in (X) quarter of the current year).

There gets to be too much confusion in expressing sales of coins as a particular coin issue's mintage because the sales figures are too approximate and do not accurately express the number of individual units actually Minted. This is obviously problematic as the figure of true mintage fluctuates throughout the year based on sales and isn't calculated with any accuracy for a few (or in some cases, several) years after minting has ceased for a given year.

The term 'production' really has no validity against 'mintage' and 'minted' when applied correctly in regards to the Mint and their activity. Yet, production is an accurate term, merely misleading as it could be used in place of 'mintage' / 'minted' but the context defers to minting terms. This isn't even a matter of semantics because context alone informs the correct diction.

I'm clear on what you mean by those terms now Elaine, which brings up a little pet peeve of mine. If the mint is still selling 2009 ASE's why on earth can't they produce collector versions of the coin? They have left over supplies from 2009 and claim they can't keep up with demand? If demand was so great how come the 2009 pieces weren't sold out sooner? They shouldn't have any of these pieces left on the shelf......

 

well. the figures were only mean to be a guidance. not accurate. i always use them as a guide. and i also estimate the future. most likely it will be near. krispy like 100% accurate. i will give him a 100% kiss.

 

the 5 oz quarter coin will come out around mid-summer. be ready to get one krispy.

 

What's the exact date? did you read a press release or interview statement from the Mint that you can cite or link to?

 

whats your problem?

dont you want us to profit from the coin business?

you keep asking these questions instead of conning the customers and Harvey and me both have lost 50 lbs each

for your reference you are to use mintage and production numbers alternatively so the buyer gets confused

I have about 300 rolls of the 2004-2005 Westward Journey nickels, another 50 rolls and 2 - $50 bags of the 2006 RTM's and 9 "tube" rolls of the 2004-2006 proof nickels. I've been working on putting together the 13-coin Westward Journey sets using the proof coins for the three different portraits of Jefferson, but I am such a procrastinator.

Interesting! Now your estimates (prior to these coins being released, put on sale and without any sales records extant) account for "Up to date mintages of production figures". That's quite a stretch of this thread's purpose...

 

Elaine: Any update on the Arkansas "Hot Springs" quarter? Thanks, TC

 

the update for mint quarter production should be available during first week of each month.

 

Thanks. It will be interesting if the Hot Springs mintage comes in below the Northern Mariana Islands. TC

 

my guess is that it won't. this is the first year issue. let's see. who knows.
