I am looking at the mintage for the 2014 Lunar Horse 1oz proof and it states 5,000 yet when I look at the mintage for the typeset 1 oz proof it states a total mintage of 8,500. Why the difference? Are they the same 1oz proof? Is the real max mintage for the 2014 Lunar Horse proof actually 8,500?!
*from what I understand: the typeset has a max release of 1,500 sets this includes; 1oz proof which has a total max mintage of 8,500 1oz bullion which has a total max mintage of 300,000 1oz gilded which has a total max mintage of 50,000 1oz coloured which has a total max mintage of 170,000
It actually states a maximum mintage of 8500 proofs it could be less but not more,as Perth mint often declare a mintage, to date they have sold 7500 1oz proofs. Yes they are the same 1 oz proofs. They are also selling the 1oz high relief horse with a maximum mintage of 7500 but again it could be a lot less as they are not sold out and Perth mint are likely to declare a mintage which could be substantially lower than 7500.
