According to U.S. Mint spokesman Michael White yesterday February 2, the total mintage limit of the Shawnee ATB 5-ounce silver coins in both options (bullion version coins & Uncirculated “P” MInt mark coins) totals 150,000. That is the most the Mint plans on producing for this coin, but the split between the bullion version & Uncirculated vapor-blast finish version can be adjusted based on demand. Initially, according to Michael White, the split is set at 120,000 bullion version coins & 30,000 Uncirculated MInt marked coins. This mintage figure of 150,000 is over double the 65,000 mintage across both options for the 2015 5-ounce “pucks”! I guess the Mint is expecting more demand this year for these coins. This 2016 mintage limit is too high IMHO. Only time will tell.

Happy collecting Mark !
