I was reading about that somewhere, too Condor, but can't find it. Seem to think that in recent years the mintage of the business strikes for halves is now one number and those for the Mint sets is another number and you have to add those two together to get the full mintage of the half for that year. Just not sure, that's why I posed this question to the forum.
And also if this did happen, what year did it start? 2002? 2005?

The satin finish mint sets started in 2005. I doubt they would have distinguished the mintage number before then, since the mint set coins and the direct ship bags were sourced from the same process. (Although one could easily find it since the mint set totals are published). Since the satin finish coins now come from a separate process, I am almost certain that the mint keeps separate numbers. Whether or not the Red Book ever chooses to provide and separate those numbers is another question. |

From 2005 to present the production numbers would separate off due to the Satin coins being used exclusively in the U.S. Mint sets. I am able to find production numbers for the business strikes, but not the Satin. Anyone have a source?

I hope you can follow that last post. I forgot that forum posts don't follow normal formatting rules.

You need to put [co de] before and [/co de] after the section that you want to use fixed formatting. Also, be aware that using tabs can cause problems; always use hard spaces.  |

Sorry, old habits and all.  Hard space has several meanings. In the context I used it, I meant to use actual space characters, and not tabs. In the context of this forum, just remember to use the space bar to format the text, do not use tabs. Although you cannot use the Tab Key when entering text directly into the forum, you are able to paste tabs from another source (for example, a spreadsheet). These have to be removed since the number of "spaces" in a tab is not consistent between browsers. |

You can derive the mintages of the Satin Finish coins from the Mint Set totals in a given year. |

Thanks, JBuck! I have been looking for the Satin production numbers and have come up with most of them if anyone is interested. It will give me a chance to try my hand at using your code. I remember coding HTML by hand to build web pages about a hundred years ago...

Satin Coin Production
Year Mintage Issue Price Coins
2005 1,160,000 $16.95 22
2006 847,361 $16.95 20
2007 649,076 $22.95 28
2008 663,136 $22.95 28
2009 (774,844) $27.95 36
2010 ? $31.95 28
The 2009 production is an estimate based on the number of orders at the mint. To date, a little over 200,000 have been processed for the 2010's. As you can see, these are quite scarce if not downright rare. I think they are very collectible in mint sets as well as in certified coins.

You are welcome. I edited the last one as well; I forget to mention that BOLD will skew the columns a little bit.

Thanks, JBuck. I thought I had it right. You are welcome, Mycrob. Next to Lincolns, Kennedy halves are my favorite coin. |
