Two flagship numismatic products for the year, the 2023 Proof Set and the 2023 Silver Proof Set, were the U.S. Mint’s top weekly sellers through Sept. 10, with their newly launched coin from last week, the 2023-W $25 Uncirculated American Palladium Eagle, ranking third.
Released Sept. 7 for $2,150, the uncirculated Palladium Eagle recorded four-day started sales of 3,683, representing 61.4% of its maximum 6,000 mintage.
A direct comparison of American Palladium Eagle sales over the years wouldn’t be fair, as the series has deliberately undergone several changes, including the introduction of the bullion coin in 2017, the proof coin in 2018, the reverse proof coin in 2019, and even the very first uncirculated coin in 2020, each offered at varying price points. That said, the 2020 uncirculated Palladium Eagle, with an opening price of $3,000, achieved four-day starting sales of 9,971.

Maya Angelou 2022 S AWQ at 7,588 is the scarcest. Tried but wasn’t able to get one. Wanted Ana May Wong, but again, sold out before I could get one. At least I have the Jovita Itar 2023 S, although not as low a mintage, at least I have a roll of them. The design is quite unusual and we’ll see how it fares over the years. If you look real close, you can make out what’s on her dress. Why I need trifocals. I’m still looking for Eleanor Roosevelt at my bank, they tell me they haven’t seen any… Read more »
Antonio,
Good work scoring a roll of the very uniquely-designed Jovitar Idar 2023-S Quarter!
Those proof (W) American Gold Buffalos are a rare breed. 2020 at under 12,000.
Antonio,
I just had a chuckle about how the Mint’s habit of calling a bison a buffalo is akin to them insisting on calling a cent a penny. You just have to laugh when the people who you might think ought to know better than that simply don’t seem to get it.
A very strong showing for the 2023 Proof Set. Sales more than double the week before.
Major D,
The Mint sent out a large fold-over mailing card last week that only advertised it’s 2023 clad Proof set & 2023 silver Proof set. They offer free “budget” shipping (which they raised one dollar this year to $5.95) for those not in their Loyalty Program, with a promo code that expires on 9-30.
It looks like the promo mailing was very successful.
NumisdudeTX
Seth, it’s hard for me to believe that free shipping would impact sales that much. Though for non-loyalty I guess it does negate the price increase from $32 to $35 plus some.
Major D, The really sad thing about a $35 clad Proof set price is that the average young collector under age 18, can’t afford that price plus $5.95 shipping cost. When I first ordered from the Mint in 1976 when I lived on our smallest & most secret NSA base in Germany, there were no shipping charges ever for anyone or any orders & the 5-coin clad Proof set was $7 (I used my own money to order the Proof sets & Unc. coin sets & bronze medals each year starting that year). The 10-coin Unc. coin sets were $6… Read more »
Seth,
I too was employed by that DOD program, but since it was in the earlier summers of 1965 and 1966 the pay was only $1.15 and $1.25 respectively. The jobs consisted of P.X. Snack Bar bus boy, Commissary warehouseman and Quartermaster furniture mover successively.
I was then collecting circulating U.S (including Walking Liberty Half Dollars!) and European coins. It don’t think it hurts to start small; it’s the degree and intensity of interest that seem to matter the most.
Seth,
For some reason, it hasn’t convinced me that I can’t survive without having this ‘over-priced’ set in my collection. Of course, maybe I’m immune to that tactic because I already get free shipping for the rest of this year? But this is America, and when folks see the word ‘free’ anything, it’s payday for the advertisers!
Craig, Major D, and Seth,
You all make excellent points regarding the effects of higher pricing, the special mailing and the sales impact of same. Could it be that the Mint has finally reached the “break point” where all the possible incentives in the world can barely move the meter anymore regarding the fortunes of its sales?
Perhaps 61% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck also weighs on it. Also cpi being used as the benchmark for inflation vs previous tabulation of fuel cost, food prices etc. Perhaps an increase of sales for proof set stemmed from a sense of patriotism revolving around Sept 11th, or perhaps labor day gave em extra time to shop and with 3 day processing times depending on card rolled over into the sales productions.
I also have some corrections to make on a previous posting from last weekend I think, but I’ll address that later.
Hello Dazed and Coinfused, This one looks fine so far, but I wonder if you have really seen the light or are planning some kind of a “gotcha” moment. If so, I thought I would add a bit more context to your information first. Underline, mine. Otherwise, this is great. You do not seem to be taking any side here, nobody was insulted, and perhaps the mention of how many are living paycheck to paycheck could foster a reasoned discussion about the issue, instead of just both sides automatically lining up to bash each other. Your proof set/patriotism comment was… Read more »
Jeff Legan,
Having previously covered the relative fortunes of First and Third World countries in my prior post, I have to say you are right in pointing out that the average American’s income allotment versus their output requirement are completely out of whack. We have entered an era of unprecedented wage and price disparity and if steps aren’t taken to correct this unbalance not just our economic condition but our very social order may quite well be put a some considerable level of risk.
D & C, Glad to see you’re back. I was thinking you went on vacation in Mexico and maybe ran into some trouble. Saw today that oil is approaching $90/barrel which usually means higher inflation for all of us. 61% of folks living pay check to pay check is never a good thing.
Craig,
Just when we thought one problem was making a graceful exit it comes back to hit us on the head again. I’m beginning to think all of this is some sort of cosmic game of whack-a-mole.
Dazed and Coinfused,
When I think about issues like that I often have to remind myself this and others like it are indeed “First World problems”. Hundreds of millions of people less fortunate than we are live from bucket to bucket of unclean water and handful to handful of scarcely nourishing food (if they have access to any at all).
Kaiser, When one sees images of some of our homeless encampments (saw one in Austin which has transformed a park into a ghetto) you start to think of this country as a ‘Third World country’. But when you think about other countries and the conditions they endure and live in, well you have to put it in perspective. The thing that gets me is those folks living in conditions we find reprehensible; no indoor plumbing or A/C (for God’s sake) or use of powered cars, trucks, planes, trains and everything, they are accustomed to it and do the best they… Read more »
Craig, Here’s the thing about that. In the Third World countries in which people have no choice but to live in the most primitive, unsanitary and crowded conditions it is because that is all their place on the planet affords them, i.e., that is all that is ever available to all but the very luckiest few in those unfortunate environs.

This part: “But if I didn’t have all that I do, I wouldn’t gravitate to self medicating to get thru the day.“A feeling of hopelessness and/or lack of self worth contributes heavily to constant self medication, in my opinion. Does not sound to me like you have ever had either of those problems so far. You have too much of one of those traits, in my opinion. If I am mistaken, share your story. Shame we couldn’t do an experiment on you like the rich guys did to Dan Aykroyd in Trading Places. I am less sure than you are… Read more »
Dazed and Coinfused,
You’re right about the government’s version of inflation figures not at all correlating with the much higher which is to say actual price increases the average American consumer is faced with on a daily basis. This tactic is akin to the kind of fanciful legerdemain applied to the unemployment rate, which in stark reality is always many points higher than the government’s rosy reports would ever want to let on. After all, not counting people as unemployed precisely because they have given up looking for jobs is absurdly bizarre nonsense.
Kaiser, A statistic I keep hearing is that over 60% of America’s populous, if confronted with a $400 unexpected bill, wouldn’t have the money to pay it in their checking account. Assuming they even have a checking account. With the Mints current pricing I doubt a lot of folks are looking to buy ‘collector coins’ and instead will focus on putting food on their tables and clothes on their children, It does seem dour for the moment, and might be for awhile, but things never go in one direction forever. Like you, I’ve also curtailed my orders for coins from… Read more »
So Craig,
Is that figure going up or down over time? The Feds have been asking that question since 2012 (the SHED survey). What does your “DD” show?
Craig,
This is one of those eminently auspicious occasions when I would be hard pressed to tell what you have just written from what I would hope I would have come up with myself if I had gotten to it first. Thank you and well done indeed, my friend.
I have to wonder who would buy over 325 of each of the 2023 ornaments and then return them to the Mint. It’s very hard to believe there is speculation in ornaments!
Kaiser,
That’s so strange & funny at the same time! Maybe some wacky investor was trying to corner the market on “Made in the USA” ornaments before the holiday season & had second thoughts…Lol.
NumisdudeTX
Seth,
I was of course both having fun with the idea and also asking a genuine question. I really can’t wrap my head around what kind of investment someone might believe that to be. But then there were Garbage Pail Kids cards, so who knows.
Kaiser, you mean there’s no speculative market in these? I wish you would have said something sooner. Now, there goes my retirement fund!
Major D,
I would suggest not acting too precipitously as to your next move with your stash of these. After all, if nobody buys them from the Mint now, somewhere down the road they could easily become eagerly sought after rarities. You could well be sitting on a future fortune!
We’ve digressed to this level, wondering what entity (Jeff?) suddenly came to some degree of sanity and decided to return 325 worthless ornaments. Since we’re talking about nonsense, have you heard Biden’s latest rant about him being at the NY 9/11 site the day after it happened and saying ‘It looked like I was looking thru the gates of Hell’. I’m sure he’s only confused by the date, as he didn’t visit the site until 9/20/11, but who’s counting. If he wants to ’embellish’ his stories about reality, why not just say he was in the North Tower when it… Read more »
Alright, now one for you….
Damn! At least you didn’t red flag me so I’m grateful.
Indeed. Gratitude is a good first step on the path to modesty.
Sheesh. Speaking of warnings, have you noticed, Craig, we are still getting “red-flagged” for any attempt to edit our comments. As we are given to asking here, “What’s that all about?”
Are you seeing the ‘you’re posting too fast’ prompt up in the right hand corner of your screen? I took your advice and check my post a few times before entering into the realm. See, I listen to you sometimes! I wonder why it is taking so long to correct that issue? Maybe they’re just having fun at our expense.
Craig, I’m not sure what is up with this lingering “you’re posting too fast” notification, but I will say that it’s made me a lot more careful about what I write the first time since there’s no chance of taking anything back. As far as listening to each other, just because I can be so stubbornly argumentative doesn’t in any way mean I’m ignoring the points you make that I might just happen to disagree with. After all, we can learn a lot from a person who espouses contrary ideas and opinions; it is one of the best ways to… Read more »
Couldn’t agree more, Kaiser. None of us know everything, well maybe with the exception of Jeff, and we all have various opinions which we don’t change easily. So, your ‘stubbornly argumentative’ disposition…it’s one of the aspects about you that I wouldn’t change for anything. After all, no one really likes a ‘yes man’, do we. Your political views, on the other hand, well…we’ll leave that be for the moment.
The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know. How about you? You have yet to put forth any reasoned arguments that could change my mind on any political topic you have brought up. My mind can and has been changed before. I occasionally agree with parts of what Dazed and Coinfused says. No reasoning whatsoever from you so far. Not one factual rebuttal to any point I have brought up yet, 24 days later. You haven’t even made an effort. That reflects poorly on you, not on me. That is why I talk to people. Explain… Read more »
Craig,
Whenever I take the time to analyze my “political” positions I realize what I am in fact instead expressing is my psychological outlook on what feels supportive and what feels threatening in my personal, local, statewide, national and global environment. Whenever something makes me uncomfortable I tend to reject anything and everything that is associated with the source of what can become an overwhelming sense of discomfort presenting itself as anxiety, often right on the verge of or well over the border to outright panic.
Major D,
I hope you’ve got a good supply of those; we’ll need ’em.
Craig,
The only “Gates of Hell” I know of are at the entrance to Mirror-of-Lies, the masterfully sumptuous dining palace of King Orange Face.
Remember, he is not only a stable genius but weighs in at a svelte 215 pounds, had the biggest non-existent crowds ever at his Inauguration and if he ever told the truth the very stars would blink out.
No gates of Hell in Alaska. I’d figure that Mr Scranton would have at least spoke at the Pennsylvania site of the plane crash where people went down fighting for America. But he did visit the Vietnam memorial honoring McCain. Odd they would honor an American there especially after all the ill effects from agent orange and blue and white. Genetic mutations and birth defects. And long term soil contamination. I can understand not attending ground zero as mayor adams and guvnah holchulm would be breaking his kneecaps to get answers about the overwhelming costs of being a sanctuary city.… Read more »

Jeff Legan,
I’m still convinced that while Osama Bin-laden was ostensibly the man who caused 9-11 to happen (which he may well have been operationally speaking) the real motivational, driving force behind that demonic enterprise as a whole was the unbelievably influential cadre of Wahabbi fanatics in Saudi Arabia, those incredibly powerful Islamist jihadis whom even the thuggish MBA has to continually watch his step with.
You actually watch PBS? No wonder you’re so misinformed! PBS? I often wondered what type of ‘individual’ made up their 200K listening audience. Now I know.
Project much? The most misinformed individual here is calling out someone else for misinformation? Good one. PBS NewsHour has an audience of approximately 900K in 2022, according to the latest data I saw on a chart (PBS NewsHour viewership at Pew Research Center). Here is a little something about their trustworthiness too, the latest info I saw—“ARLINGTON, VA; February 2, 2021–For the 18th year in-a-row, Americans named PBS the “most trusted institution” in a nationwide survey, PBS President and CEO Paula Kerger announced today at the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour. According to the results, PBS continues to outscore government… Read more »
D & C,
I’m glad you included the $6 billion pay off that joey gave the Iranians for those 5 hostages. I’m glad we don’t negotiate with terrorists, right? I carefully read all of your post and once again find all your points to be salient and factual. I’ll bet even Jeff will compliment you on this post! Speaking of Jeff, is there anyway we could arraign a little vacation for him in say Iran? Lol
Do you mean the Iranian money that is being held in South Korea? Yes, we will allow another country to give you your own money back if you give us our citizens. Seems like an excellent trade to me. We are getting something for nothing. I didn’t think it was worth bringing that up in my post to Dazed and Coinfused the first time. Didn’t I cover enough of his post? What did you think about the rest of my points? Still got nothing? Are you telling the families of those 5 American hostages to pound sand? Way to show… Read more »
Kaiser, I’ve said many, many times his biggest enemy is his mouth. I think his economic policies were sound, and yes, I benefitted from them as did millions of folks in this country, but constantly proclaiming something he achieved as ‘the greatest’ or himself as ‘the greatest president since Abe’ was difficult for me to tolerate. Hubris is fine, in moderation, but a little humility would’ve improved his image greatly, in my opinion. If I can make one more point, I rarely ‘like’ the occupant of the White House (including the present one, whomever that might be), I only like… Read more »
Craig,
His mother was dismissive and perpetually distant while his father was abusive and myopically self-centered; thus the tale is told.
Perhaps it was the people you bashed last time you brought these up returning them based on your advice. (“But instead, all we get is gaudy Christmas Quarter ornaments that only a few actually want.“). Since KKKraig came back to CoinNews today to continue talking politics, did anyone remember what Trump said on the literal 9/11? From USA Today, Sep 12, 2023 “Donald Trump and GOP rivals pay tribute on 9/11. Others recall Trump comments on 9/11“—-“posted video of comment Trump made to a New York television station on Sept. 11, 2001. The then-businessman discussed the reaction of his employees at… Read more »
Jeff,
Trump has for years demonstrated that he excels in lying, cheating, and caring only about himself. I have therefore never expected anything from him but the worst any person could ever be capable of and he has clearly never disappointed me in that regard.
Serious question. I know of at least two dozen very popular political pages with well received and used comment sections. Yet here some of you are. Why? Do any of you actually think that what you post here is going to influence a single person at the ballot box? This is numismatist page. What is wrong with you?
Hear, hear!
Thank you for weighing in, Christo. You are the 8th person to speak up in favor of talking coins and against constantly talking partisan politics here. Only the 2 already talking partisan politics here have spoken so far in favor of continuing to do so.
My apologies to everyone. Christo is actually the 7th person to speak up in favor of coins.
I love coins! I’ve been collecting and studying them for over 50 years. I also majored in history and political science over 40 years ago and have no problem keeping the two separate.
But perhaps most importantly, I have a young grandson that has recently taken an interest in coins and the last thing I want him to do is read the comments section of an on-line coin magazine. I can’t believe I actually wrote that…about a coin magazine!
Christo, I’m totally agree with you there. I wouldn’t want my 25-year old daughter reading it, either. I recommend the Eisenhower dollars for your grandson if you haven’t already introduced them to him. Something about the size and weight of that coin that made me love getting as a kid- even if they weren’t silver (the ones I got anyways) I still called them silver dollars nonetheless.
I, too, like Ikes. I remember receiving 25 of them for winning a chess tournament in 9th grade. I still have most of them, less the ones I gave to my kids. My grandfather gave me a Peace Dollar when I was young. I figured I’d continue the tradition.
You’re not doing a very good job of ‘controlling’ this site, are you? I know what President Trump would tell you…You’re Fired’. Lol.
Aren’t you the one trying to control the site? What part of “coin site” do you still not understand? I am asking you to act like an adult and remember there are a diverse set of voices here. Why is it so hard for you to treat everyone with respect? Are you enjoying showing everyone how little you know about people, politics and adulthood?
Thumbs up.
What exactly is going on in the “coin world’ that is so damned exciting, huh? Is it the ‘Mighty Minters Ornaments’ that you find so fascinating? I can walk and chew gum at the same time, so if you don’t like something, skip over it. Simple.
Why are you here if there is nothing going on, KKKraig? Is that why you keep bringing up politics here? To bring some “excitement” to the world of coin collecting? You must be getting some kind of excitement or you wouldn’t keep coming back for a beating every day. You can’t think and type at the same time, so walking and chewing gum at the same time is definitely out, liar. Do you think Christo and everyone else here should tell their children to just “skip” your posts, but otherwise it is a great coin site? You should know better… Read more »
Wow, anybody here ever here of the scroll feature versus the Troll feature? It is used to move up or down the page. I will now simply use the scroll feature to move up or down the page to avoid posts by those who to me, appear to be hung up with controlling how others think or what they say. Why Jeff are you so concerned what others write or how they think? Shouldn’t other humans be responsible for what they believe or allow themselves to be exposed to. I have read enough of your scoldings to now know, to… Read more »
I tend to agree here. There’s no way to “win” an argument with a person or persuade that individual whose sole purpose in life is to “own the libs”. Just ignore them & move on. It would be nice if there was an “Ignore” feature on this comments section. I suppose scrolling past the trolls’ posts will have to suffice for now.
It is not about winning, Reb. That is the way KKKraig thinks this is played. It is about countering every bit of BS until KKKraig realizes there is no point in continuing. He is not having as much as fun here as he used to. He is starting to feel a reluctance to check the comments now to see what kind of abuse he is going to face today. A little nervousness. You can see it in his posts, getting a bit shriller and testier (look at his reply to Christo above. Bit testy considering the mildness of Christo’s post,… Read more »
You do you, Jeff. I generally ignore Craig’s & D&C’s posts because 1) most of them don’t have much to do with coins & collecting and 2) if I wanted to hear Fox News talking points, I’d go to the original source. I understand your frustration. I think MAGA-types represent the worst of us. They live to troll anything, anywhere, all the time. But, that’s no reason to join them in their descent to the bottom. It the subject is about coins, no matter the poster, I’ll join in if I’m inclined. If it’s about far-right politics and culture wars,… Read more »
CaliSkier, since Coin News does not regulate this site (at least not in the time I’ve been commenting) it’s up to all of us here to regulate each other. So, when someone is hellbent on causing disruption- what do we coin lovers do? 1) Fight fire with fire, comment-to-comment point-counterpoint?; 2) Ignore it, by using the Scroll feature?; 3) Engage with humor?; 4) Engage without confrontation and try to just talk coins?; 5) Engage with an appeal to our better angels; or 6) Just say forget it, and leave the site? I’ve actually tried all and none of them actually… Read more »
The problem is, short of having a moderator or an “Ignore” feature, we’re stuck with the options set out in your post. The trolls enjoy what they’re doing or they wouldn’t do it. It’s likely all they have going on in their otherwise miserable lives. Many reputable publications have shut down their comment sections for the reasons you cite.
REB and Major D, While it sometimes may appear to get more than a bit exasperating to have to put up with the occasional or ongoing kerfuffle here, it has been my experience that moderated sites are a bit akin to living in a totalitarian state (which I historically have done) where the one(s) in charge assume the role of unchallenged arbiter and things begin to seem as though one has to live in fear of the secret police. In short, I’ll take a wonderfully freewheeling site like this over a tightly controlled environment any day. Freedom comes with a… Read more »
Kaiser, I must respectfully disagree with you on the laissez faire approach of letting things take their own course, without interfering- whether it be capitalism, the environment, broadcast media, transportation safety, AI or this coin site, among many other things. Just because there are rules for fair play, clean air and water, decency, safety, security and keeping the public peace doesn’t mean there is no freedom. As the saying goes, you’re free to swing your arm but that freedom stops at the front of my nose.
I agree with Major D here. I’m on several moderated boards, including one that’s political. They NEVER get as out-of-control as this one, which, for heaven’s sake, is supposed to be a numismatic appreciation site. This place isn’t “wonderfully freewheeling” at times. It’s obnoxiously off-putting and off-topic when the trolls run free to crap out content unrelated to coins and coin collecting. But I guess that’s the goal – make a site unusable and repulsive and it’s mission accomplished – another lib has been owned!,
REB,
I have no appetite for the kind of constantly hovering control via officially dominant voices moderated boards have. Not my style.
Major D,
How did my giving my opinion on the workings of this site spark the need for a political lecture? I am truly baffled.
I am always sorry to see comment sections shut down elsewhere, Reb. We have a lot of freedom here. No moderation though. It is up to us. I tried asking for intervention here the first time with SENZA. Crickets. Shutting down comments isn’t solving the comment problem, it is sweeping it under the rug to be dealt with later, when it will be an even worse problem. The solution is to allow no insults. Sure, that is just my opinion but it is one I based on reason, observation and experience. If your position cannot stand without insults, you got… Read more »
REB,
The problem with moderators is that since they unilaterally impose their own will on everyone else on the site they can become the ultimate troll.
Thank you for laying the points out so clearly and concisely Major D. In my opinion, telling me to shut up while trying to simply ignore what the troll says is simply telling the wrong person to shut up in the first place. I would still follow the will of the majority here if that is what they want from me. KKKraig obviously cannot say the same.
Hi CaliSkier, Shouldn’t we be able to have a conversation like adults here? If we want to keep America, don’t you think being able to talk respectfully to everyone with different viewpoints is the way we keep it? All we are doing in America today is talking at, past or not at all to each other. If we can’t respect each other here, on a simple coin site what hope does the country at large have? I noticed KKKraig has modified his posts somewhat compared to earlier ones. He is being slightly more careful on his latest posts to others.… Read more »
Coin talk! So did anyone notice that the AWQ’s PDS Eleanor Roosevelt’s, even though showing sales of -10 are still 53 units beyond the declared Product limit? Also, any thoughts on the Jovita Idar PDS sets being available now for over 2 weeks(?)? Has the PDS ship sailed? IMO, unfortunately the AWQ’s series, ship has sailed. Too bad as I liked the series, even though finances has stifled my desire to participate in collecting the series. I’d have like to owned the set in silver proof at the very least. Oh well, maybe somewhere down the line I’ll circle back… Read more »
CaliSkier, it’s very interesting to hear the Idar PDS are back on sale (123 available as of 11:08 am Thurs 9-14). As for the Roosevelt, I’ve seen it happen before where the Mint shows the product limit being exceeded, and it always gets adjusted below the limit eventually. Now does that mean the limit wasn’t exceeded, or rather the number was just changed to reflect that? Inquiring minds (like me) want to know. I couldn’t agree more about the craziness with labels. I just stay away from them bc I like to collect coins, not labels.
Major D they have been available non stop since August 31 from at least 4:16pm EST. Here is a post of mine from September 1, replying to a poster on another board. Robert Thomson says: “Guess the demand for AWQs 3 roll quarter set has died. As of this posting time the 2023 Jovita Idar 3 roll PDS Quarters set is still available for purchase…” Interesting catch and More Fun with US Mint Numbers! As of the last Mint sales report, they sold 3 of the Jovita Idar PDS sets, taking them to 12,598. The maximum product limit is 12,620.… Read more »
Thanks for all the info, CaliSkier. I bought some of those PDS sets and I’m leaving them in the Mint white cardboard boxes, so someone (hopefully in the family) can auction in 50 years and raise a toast to the long-gone hoarder! Yes, my bad for the misspell and good catch- Enquiring!
Major D,
Just a slightly out there thought, but if things go the way Elon Musk wants them to that future coin auction may well be taking place on Mars. Not that your descendants won’t still be able to raise a proper toast to you, just in much thinner air and with a lot less gravity. Cheers, my friend!
I wonder if anyone on this site still collects the reverse-proof presidential dollars found only in the coin and chronicles sets. The Bush coin from 2020 is just over 11000 should be the lowest minted. I know Truman & Eisenhower were popular.
steve, yes, and I’ve picked them all up in the C&C sets on resale except for the Truman one which still evades me. The lowest mintages are currently 2015’s Truman (16,812) and Eisenhower (16,795). The product limit for the 2020 Bush C&C set is 35,000. As of the Mint’s September 10 sales report, there were 11,187 sales, and as of today there are 23,435 available to purchase. So, unless the Mint destroys the remaining product (which is highly doubtful) the mintage on Bush will be 34,622 +/-.
