Of course on the other hand the mint typically violates the law every year by making coins for the coming year in the last two months of the preceding year. They make the claim that as long as they don't release them early it's OK. That's NOT how the law is written. You are correct, I was wrong about that. ``(2) Availability for sale.--Bullion coins minted under paragraph (1)-- ``(A) shall become available for sale no sooner than the first day of the calendar year in which the circulating quarter dollar of which such bullion coin is a duplicate is issued; and ``(B) may only be available for sale during the year in which such circulating quarter dollar is issued.[/QUOTE]
