I have been slowly getting attracted to this set. Thanks for all the insights! Maybe, one day I will take the plunge. Has the mintage for the new American Robin gone up over previous issues?

Woa 630, 631
Assume they will do all of these birds. It will take 315 years to collect and complete the whole set. (if they release 2 birds coin every where).
haha.. This would be a generation collecting series. (From grand-grandpa to grandpa to father to son.)

Robin mintage is actually slightly lower at 17,500 instead of at 20,000

Only about 11,000 nuthatches produced meaning only 11,000 or so able to complete their sets!

That's pretty cool, I had no Idea that the northern cardinal was that low in mintage.

Does anyone know how far apart the bird coins are released? I thought they were released simultaneously

What a difference a few thousand makes - maybe it's the bird on the coin or the fact that people pick up on the series and some coins aren't up for sale therefore a higher price on the open market. The BlueJay seems to go for a higher price than the chickadee...
