Mint Stats: Summer numbers stay sluggish
Those who are waiting for news of a sellout of the silver 2010 Yosemite 5-ounce uncirculated collector coin will have to wait awhile longer.

Could it be that by the time we get to the fifth issue of the 2010 coins that collectors will decide that 27,000 for each is not such a low total after all?
