Man, noboby even cares enough about these Presidential Dollar First-Day Covers anymore to even comment on this post! I couldn't stand it anymore. It's so depressing to see a post go for days on end with no comments!
I bet the Mint will reduce the number of covers made for these to only 25,000 next year, or 30,000 tops. I can't believe they left Polk at 40,000! No doubt all of these covers will still be on sale by June 30th next year, when the Mint will finally cut them off (or put them out of their misery is more like it!)
OK! So I'll add another comment in reference to the most recent post about the mint abandoning the ASE/AGE products for 2009. They may consider just not making the coin covers and folders with low sales numbers, and focusing on collector items such as the ASE/AGE.
