<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1119382, member: 18157&quot;]I had thought the Mint could produce FS coins throughout the year they were on sale. Apparently that&#039;s not the case; they can only produce them during the year inscribed on the coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Mint estimates how many coins they think will sell and only make that number. The Mint reports only making 13,000 of the Buchanans...don&#039;t know about the Pierce coins, yet. Apparently, the Mint doesn&#039;t like minting coins and destroying them when they don&#039;t sell.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What I find interesting is how they estimate the number of coins to produce for an issue such as the Margaret Taylor or the Mary Lincoln...which are initially released in the beginning of December. I&#039;m sure they made plenty of the Lincolns, though.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Another interesting point is that the Abigail Fillmore is still on sale...and has sales far in excess of the Jane Pierce. The Mint must have begun minting &quot;less than the Max&quot; fairly recently. It&#039;ll be interesting to see how this all plays out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
