Looking on the Mint's website at the soon to be released Mercury dime 2016 Centennial Gold Coin. It states: MINTAGE LIMIT: 125,000 PRODUCT LIMIT: NONE HOUSEHOLD ORDER LIMIT: 10 I understand the "mintage limit" and the "household limit" but does the phrase "Product Limit" refer to? *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

Don't know if I'm correct but I believe this means that the initial production will be 125,000 and that they've left the door open to more being produced (product limit). It's only a guess, hopefully others will chime in.

The mintage is is the total amount of coins that will be minted.
The product limit is how many of the 125,000 that will appear in each form. Such as perhaps 100,000 will be sold as singles and 25,000 may be included in a three coin set with the WLH and SLQ.
Since there is no product limit, unless that changes, they will only be offered in this incarnation. But no matter how they are sold, there will not be more than 125,000 minted.

Yea, you would think they would make sure they have FSB. There will probably be some that are, and there will be a massive premium. Haha!

I'm sorry, but that is just plain stupid not to have the full split bands and every other detail as originally intended.
I was pretty pumped about getting one, which is a change for me since I usually NEVER buy "modern" stuff, but a gold Mercury is a dream coin.
Take by dreams and remove the FSB's. WWWAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaa...

Everyone keeps saying no FSB for a coin that hasn't been sold yet. I think the mit may have had some on display at Baltimore but for the most part no one has seen these coins close up to tell if they have FSB or not. I think most people are basing their opinion on the artists renditions.

denco7 is correct regarding the original question.
Conder101 is correct regarding improper assumptions based on artwork and not the actual coins.

They could still offer this coin in another set. Take the National Park Service proof silver dollar. http://catalog.usmint.gov/100th-ann...uct-scheduleWhen sold by itself, the mintage limit is 500,000 and the product limit is None. However, it's also sold in a three coin proof set which has no mintage limit, but does have a 15,000 product limit. In the case of the NPS silver dollar being sold by itself, the real product limit is 500,000 minus how many of the three coin sets are sold. The same concept applies to this gold dime. |
