tocoins Valued Member Canada 396 Posts	Posted 06/07/2012 9:07 pm @elkslayer132, can I ask you a questions please? Since you've probably seen a lot more coins than some of us combine. Say for a low mintage coin, is it possible to find one that has a COA number twice or even three times higher? My understanding is that the mint does not mint all the coins at once but they might have the COAs printed in one batch. Has this always been the practice? Or is this just recent? Is it possible/suspicious to find one such coin? Thanks in advance! Edited by tocoins 06/07/2012 9:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff

tocoins Valued Member Canada 396 Posts	Posted 06/07/2012 10:29 pm @elkslayer132, I should have been more clear. The low mintage that I referred to are really the bad performers at issue time. Say for example, a projected mintage was 10,000, but only 2,000 were minted and sold. Would there be high number COAs among those 2,000? Report this Post to the Staff
poboxw Pillar of the Community Canada 1502 Posts	Posted 06/07/2012 10:42 pm @tocoins: This sometimes happen. One notable example is with the 1998 10oz Silver Maple Leafs (which have sterling silver COA bars with serialized number stamped on). Although only around 13,000 were minted, COA numbers can be found as high as in the 20,000s. The explaination in this case is that the COA numbers and order of sales was not synchronized. The planned mintage was 30,000 and only ~13,000 was sold. Edited by poboxw 06/07/2012 10:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
