Thoughts? Also after the prez dollars conclude, will the mintages of the Native American dollars increase or stay where they are at?  |

 Probably only if/when the $1 note is phased out. I would also like to see a return to the original Sacagawea eagle on the reverse. |

Yes, this exactly! And the return of the date/mm on the obverse! Quote:

As a passionate sports fan, I look forward to having a Jim Thorpe coin. He's one of the greatest athletes in history in my opinion.

Nice having Cherokee writing on a coin, too.

Thanks to our inept leadership they will remain NIFC for the foreseeable future, so I do not expect the mintage to increase. If anything, it will go down to meet actual demand. Their mintage being tied directly to that of the Presidential dollars may have had them minting more than necessary. |

They will stay the same. Since they still have a ton of small dollars in storage, they will remain NCLT. They will make them for the Mint sets and enough for the roll sets and bags, but there would be no reason to increase the mintage beyond that. They don't have to make up for the missing president dollars in the mint set, roll sets, or bags.
In fact Jbuck has a point. Since the law specifies they be struck as a percentage of the President dollar production, 20% of 0 is 0.

I really can't see much point in continuing to mint these if they aren't struck for commerce. Even with low mintages, I question if these will ever have any real value since the entire population of these will be uncirculated. Look at the 1950-D nickel, they were hoarded and there are many awesome specimens because of that and prices are very reasonable for high grade examples.

At some point reason (and inflation) will prevail and the one dollar note will go away, along with the cent and nickel.

I don't really like them, they look more like medals...

Exactly. Of course, they could compensate some if they pulled the cent from circulation and made a bronze NIFC version for the annual sets.  |

I am already wondering once the Presidential dollars conclude next year how much the mint / proof sets will decrease in price. I try to buy the mint / proof / silver proof every year and those three add up. And an extra to break for albums. I need some relief with the retail prices. And I have always thought the silver proof sets shouldn't include yet another set of Presidential proofs. I always liked the Native American proofs, and have a set of those as well. I just wish they would do something different for a change. |

I am really hoping the set prices come down after the prez dollars end.

It should. Four whole dollars at least.  |

Of course, they could compensate some if they pulled the cent from circulation and made a bronze NIFC version for the annual sets. But if they drop the dollars from the sets because they are no longer made for circulation, they should drop the cent as well if it isn't being made for circulation. |
