The US Mint sent out everybodies subsciption Silver Eagles at the higher price, then made them unavailable for 2 weeks (the return policy from the Mint is 7 days) THEN, they made the Eagle available at the lower cost to those that didn’t have subscriptions. All that time, the price of Silver fluxuated a couple of dollars an ounce. And they refuse to refund the difference of the two prices to those that had subscriptions. Considering this is the FIRST year they started to sell the coins after a 2 year suspension, it appears they did this intentionally to make extra money before the price drop went into affect. They just screwed every subscriber in the US Silver Eagle program. And now they want DOUBLE the price of Silver for the 5 coin set. Are they just TRYING to run off the collectors? What a racquet. What a rip off. I’m tempted to STOP buying coins from the Mint becasue of it. They have made literally thousands of dollars from my purchases over the years and now they want to screw ALL of the subscribers for less than $10 per coin. What has collecting come to?

A day late and a lot of dollars short. The Mint has taken the Silver Eagles off the website. Their explanation, “This product is temporarily unavailable for product repricing.” A rebate would be nice, but that would be like spitting into a stiff wind and thinking you won’t get sprayed.

Wow! Silver fell to $30.64. I wonder if the Mint will be lowering their prices on the Unc. 2011-W? Yeah, right! What goes up, never comes down, unless it’s a satellite.

I just received my 2011-W Unc. from the mint. Nice! But I do miss the satin finish. These are a bit too “shiny” for a $60.45 price tag. I would have thought that $10.00 over silver spot would be sufficient profit.
