MIA New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 12/17/2011 5:46 pm Coinut: "Mine are not going anywhere ,either and I am trying to complete my sets as quickly as possible before they start going up. Considering there are 24 coins with mintage's under 50,000 and most are under $100 that seems like a steal. There is a good article on Numismaster.com http://www.numismaster.com/ta/numis...icleId=15553 on this. Lol, you'd think I sold commemoratives the way I seem to be pushing them but I do not think they get the respect they deserve." Great article and well worth reading, although there seems to be some differences between some of his numbers and those published elsewhere. He lists the mintage for the 1999 Dolly Madison in Unc as 22,948, while the Whitman Red Book and ModernCommemoratives.com both list the mintage as 89,104. The same with the 1999 Yellowstone, and others. He seems like a very knowledgeable author and would be in the position to know the mintages. Anyone know if these are just errors in the article, or is there other information out there? Edited by MIA 12/17/2011 5:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7194 Posts	Posted 12/17/2011 6:13 pm MIA, I would trust the mintage's listed in the Red Book, perhaps the author of the article did not include the mintage's of two coin sets that were available for both the Yellowstone and the Dolly Madison dollars.

paleoguy45 Pillar of the Community United States 2936 Posts	Posted 12/17/2011 7:16 pm I think (and hope) the lower figure is actual number of the coins sold, not number minted. I'm buying them as fast as I can find them if under $50. Here are three more references to the lower figure. If you Google the coin and 22948 lots of refs pop up.....

MIA New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 12/18/2011 1:53 pm Thanks for the links paleoguy45. I too have been trying to get the lower mintages, as fast as my budget will allow, before the prices increase. With a lot of these coins having mintage numbers below 30k, you would think that they will see some decent increases in the future. (The grandchildren will thank me later) Report this Post to the Staff
