<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1471926, member: 19065&quot;]2011 Proof AGE coins went on sale April 21st, 2011. That means the coin you are trying to make an example of here was only on sale for two months by this time last year! </p><p><br /></p><p>The 1/2 oz AGE is often the runt of the litter while other denominations are also available. Last year that was also the case for the remaining 8 months of 2011 and until it was announced &quot;sold out&quot; in late February of 2012. The 1/2 oz Proof AGE never reached it&#039;s 15,000 individual coin maximum allowed mintage limit. And remember to add any sales from the the additional 35,000 mintage limit allowed by sales of the 4-coin Proof 2011 AGE set. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sales of the 1/2 oz proof 2011 AGE only started climbing when other individually sold AGE coins sold out by hitting their maximum mintage limit, which was first the case of the 1 oz. 2011 Proof AGE. The 1 oz. coin had an individual coin maximum mintage limit of 30,000 units.&nbsp; Add to that the sales of the 4-coin set and the numbers are greater still. </p><p><br /></p><p>The 2011 Proof 1/2 oz mintage limit last year was 15,000 units for individually sold coins. However, the proof 4-coin AGE sets remained on sale for long after the 1 oz. coin sold out, and remember the 4-coin sets limited sales to 40,000 units. The individual 1/2 oz. Proof AGE started selling more when gold spot price declined in early January of 2012 and the Mint had to lower prices on gold products. </p><p><br /></p><p>By the time the final numbers for 1/2 oz Proof AGE coins were in earlier<i> this</i> year, it wasn&#039;t the lowest mintage of the 1/2 oz proof AGE. I was more like the third lowest amongst the Proof 1/2 oz. AGE coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>After all was said and done with numismatic 2011 AGE products, it was the 2011 W Unc AGE that faired the best with lowest mintage.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #0000cd">As I said in the previous post, to discuss what is the lowest mintage while coins are sill available for sale is only to conspire against them remaining that way... <i>loose lips sink ships </i>comes to mind. Do you understand what I&#039;m trying to say in this thread?</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
