    I've noticed the last few releases in the series aren't being carried by the regular dealers. I take it they weren't selling well or is there a supply issue?

    Maybe less or very little interest in those rounds.

    This is the case, by the numbers we estimate demand is below 20% what is was at the start of the series.

    Too many designs came out too soon and quality of coins are not up to par or pretty bad. Scruffy, scratches, milk spots, and high premiums.
    Not to mention designs were being recycled over and over again. Too many error coins.
