I'm checking Kennedy Half mintage and....

..I see in the pro edition Red Book that for 2006 D it is ..2 mil..is that correct..??........That would make it less than the 70 D half in the Mint Sets...even though the 2006 D's weren't released for circulation as the 70 D...That woul make it the ..Second..lowest next to the 2008 mints which state each of 1.7 mil...

    That still equates to about twenty rolls per person that might want them for some reason or another.image

    2008 was less at 1,700,000 from each mint.

    Whether this total includes Satin Finish coins or not, I do not know but the figure has the exact same weight as what was reported for the 2006 production.

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Since 1999 mint set totals are reported separately from circulation totals.

    The 1.7 million does NOT include satin finish coins.

    Since the satin finished were produced differently and the services are designating them as "SP" and "SMS", and the Redbook separated the mintages; perhaps they'll be considered different from the business strikes in the future.

    This appliwes to all mint set coins but only since 1999.

    Since the Redbook separates SP and MS, and the services have as well, I'm wondering if the album companies will create separate spots in their albums for SP and MS coins?

    One would expect there would be enough demand for this.

    I'm actually surprised it doesn't already exist. Perhaps there will be more demand if the SF set becomes a closed set next year.

    sounds like a great idea.

    I expect that Satin Finish Short Sets will start cropping up if SF goes away.
