    Like some of the other bullion pieces in 1/4 and 1/2 oz. sizes of 1990 & 1991 these were saved into investor funds and the like. They may be arteficially scarce.

    Many new programs hit a low in their third year as the original burst of enthusiasm wears off. Look at 1973 Ikes, 1981 Susie B's, 2002 Sacagaweas.......
