Question now is, how many are they gonna actually strike?
As many as they can sell, up to 10K. They have a contractual obligation to do so. Unlike all the other releases, other than the commens, where they have the freedom to set mintages at any number they want below the maximum. When they have partners who get a piece of sales, they don't the authority to do anything to restrict those sales.
10K were available on the day of release. They are now showing far fewer "ATS."
Look for the missing coins to magically appear if the ATS ever makes it all the way down to zero. They are not going to short strike these, for the benefit of those who buy, but to the detriment of their partner, DC Comics.
Not unless they are ready, willing and able to pay royalties on coins they choose not to strike in order to support the secondary market. Not gonna happen.
Based on the sales report above, I'd be willing to bet there are around 3K sitting around just waiting to be added to ATS at some random point in the future.
