The Mint web site lists the 2012 mint set as “sold out” this afternoon. Last reported number sold was 390,021, probably don’t reflect the most recent sales. Still this would be the least produced since 1962 or so.

Restricting production and sales to the year of issue would make it easier to figure what production numbers would be and what to collect. Way to go, US Mint!

Retail coin sales represent the leading edge of how to detect shortages. Shortages are always corrected with higher prices or premiums, in this case. It will be even more interesting to watch the industrial shortage develop — in 1000 ounce bars.

Is this a typo? “2012-P Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Silver Coin 14,863 of
5,000”

Should be ‘of 25,000’
