Excellent points all around.

Major D The W mint proof had been my first choice up until a couple years ago. Preferred proofs over uncirculated as I give them for gifts and such. I always say to myself this is my last year of buying coins but still buying a couple for myself.

LOL, what Major D said, regarding S ASE Mintage. My guess is just under 320,000 by the time it’s said, done and 20 years from now the f”inal audited” mintage numbers are absolute and finalized? BTW, reason for laughter, was that, after reading Roosters comment, my brain started processing the variables that relate to guesstimating that, number and as I got to your comment, I was just seconds ahead of your written word and what will account for the “accounting”. Haha outside chance the Mintage will fall between 265-275K though? Now the numbers to some degree are controlled the the willingness or lack there of for the AP’s to order the 40-coin trays for there grading/graded inventory of these. 300,000-325,000 to be expected and 265,000-285,000 would be unexpected and good for the secondary market now or in the future IMO.

Actually yes but there really is no way of telling. Good info Major D. Was curious how the S sales would be compared to the W sales. Subscribed for both but have cut both subscriptions in half to 6.

Thx Kaiser. You are correct. Had to read it again.
