What a sad commentary for the US Mint to cancel the American Eagle silver Proof after 23 years of production. If they had limited it to one to a customer they might have only needed a production of 200,000 or so. They’re rolling out 22 million of the bullion coin, but screw the true collector. Folks the silver is available at a higher price than spot and our legislation doesn’t even require that the silver be produced in this country like it does for the bullion coin. What a truly sad day for coin collectors and what a cowardly act and chickens ways out for the US Mint.

Oh great the Mint might have 2010 silver proof eagles next year. I guess I should buy two so I can use one to plug the hole for the 2009 that they worked so “diligently” to produce but weren’t able to.
