Hello Mr. Harper,

Not finding a email link for you, I thought I'd ask my mint stats question here.

I've read that the 2008 annual unc. dollar set will soon be released.  When it begins production will the mint stats production numbers for this set reflect counts that are separate from the coin types it contains, or in addition to the stats reported elsewhere on your weekly Numismaster Mint Stats articles?

For example, as of Aug 3rd, the production of unc. 2008-W SAEs was 345,351.  Assume the 2008 annual unc. dollar set production was also listed as 10,000.  Would the actual number of unc. 2008-W SAEs be 345,351 or 355,351?

Thank you for your help,

Mike Z.

The Mint totals are reported by product, so you would be correct in adding the two separate product totals together.

Thank you for the clarlification...

Hello Mr. Harper,

In a discussion on another forum, I was told that the numbers reported in the "mint Stats" articles represented coins sold rather than coins actually minted.

Would you comment on  the validity of that statement?  Are these Mint Stats coins sold or truely coins minted?

Thank you...
