Based on history most uncirculated if not all ATB 5oz coins do meet their limit so that adjustment to bullion is a rare occurrence, one that requires close attention to the existing years trend and if done at all would be in the waining days of the sales envelope (usually approaching the next years release date). To gauge that choice I assume would be a tenuous decision because I suspect that there would be a sales spike at the end of any coins availability.

This is his response:

“The current authorized limit for both numismatic and bullion 2015 America the Beautiful Five Ounce Silver Coins for Homestead National Monument of America is 65,000 coins across both options. An announced maximum mintage limit of 30,000 coins has been issued for the America the Beautiful 5 Ounce Homestead Uncirculated Coin. However, based on demand, the U.S. Mint has the flexibility to mint and issue more than the minimum of 35,000 America the Beautiful 5 Ounce Homestead Silver bullion Coins so long as we do not exceed the 65,000 coin limit.”

Thank you Ronnie, I take it the bullion coinage doesn’t figure into any of this.

Hope I can help you with understanding the Mintage limits vs Product limits.

The mintage limit is across all products. And the product limit is with regards to just one product. Still confused. I would be. Lets break it down:

Lets use the Gold American Eagle Proof series as an example. Lets say that the Mintage Limit on the One Ounce Gold American Eagle is 50,000. Now the One Ounce is sold separately and in the 4 piece set and lets say this is an anniversary year and they also have the One Ounce in a special set. Now across all of these sets they can mint no more than 50,000 coins. This is the Mintage limit. They can further limit the coins in the anniversary set by setting a product limit of 10,000 within this set. This 10,000 Product Limit is only in the Anniversary set and when it sells out it leaves 40,000 to be sold in any combination between the individual One Ounce and the One Ounce in the 4 Piece Set (one ounce, half ounce, quarter and tenth ounce coin set). If the One Ounce sets sell 35,000 and the Anniversary Set sells 10,000, the 4 piece set can only sell 5,000 sets. This adds up to the total mintage limit of 50,000 (35,000 + 10,000 + 5,000 = 50,000). A Product limit is just a way to further limit the number of coins produced within the Mintage Limit.

Hope this helps.
Cheers, Ronnie

Yesterday evening us mint website had indicated that the they were out of stock. Now they have them, and they will be ready for shipping on April 30. I was a subscriber until I disabled that option due to unavailable funds at the moment. Coin collecting is addictive as you may know; therefore, I’m trying to postpone and combine as possible. I think you got it regarding product limit and mintage limit.

In this article it states that they went on sale 03/05 the article is dated 03/20, that’s 15 days with a stated sale of uncirculated sale of 17,257. With a mintage limit of 30,000 that’s 12,743 to go. If you are concerned about not getting a piece in the future be a subscriber and you will get yours before they go on sale to the open market. I’ve had mine for a few days. The one thing I can never figure out is this mintage limit vs. product limit (none) unless they are indicating that to be bullion sales, which probably stops at a year end stop date. I may have answered my own question. I just find the Mints vernacular contradictory.

Did they really sold all in just 15 days? What are the sales numbers on them?
