[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 5143648, member: 105098"]one item on the website says: [SIZE=6][B]400th Anniversary of the Mayflower Voyage Silver Proof Coin and Medal Set[/B] Item Number: 20XB[/SIZE] Mintage Limit: 14,200 Product Limit: 9,200 Household Order Limit: None They will continue to list it as "unavailable" until it is completely sold out any canceled or non-paid orders will be released to be resold again. this one shows they made 14,200 of them and prepared 9,200 for sale, the 5,000 remaining I assume went to Britain to sell there in their packaging. As far as the: [SIZE=6][B]Mayflower 400th Anniversary Silver Reverse Proof Medal[/B][/SIZE] Item Number: 20XD Mintage Limit: 20,000 Product Limit: None Household Order Limit: None This one is listed as "currently on backorder" what this means is they haven't finished them for shipment yet but the mintage limit is set at 20,000 which they likely won't change. HOWEVER, when you get it or are able to place an order for it, It's unknown. the description for "backorder" reads "Additional inventory is being made. Please add the item to your cart to see when additional inventory is expected to be available" Meaning they made the coins, 20,000 of them, they made some of them in packaging but didn't complete it, so until the remaining are put into packaging for sale, it's going to sit on backorder, the ones that they can't fill up until the cutoff will be filled first once they are ready for sale, then they will open it back up for sales until it sells out. "After establishing mintage, product, and order limits, the U.S. Mint does not always regard them as final, and will at times make adjustments." However, these adjustments might be a few hundred coins one way or the other normally, lets say the overmint, or they have returns or damaged, the counts will change in time from their general mintage number to an actual mintage number. there have been times it's been lower or higher by some, but in general they are good at sticking to mintage limits. What the notice is about is them not having them prepared to immediately sell and not having them in packaging to fill the orders they already have so they suspended sales with the backorder message which they tag every item with, and is a generic explanation. it's more commonly used on SAEs GAEs proofs, mint and proof sets where they sell what they have packaged and ready to go but will take a while to prepare more to ship out because they ran out of "ready stock".[/QUOTE]
