Received text from from some mint nerd that mint doesn’t play favorites
Poor naive ldiot
Thats precisely what they do when offer a product of 100,000 or less with no household limit
2017 S silver eagle sold out in 90 seconds , who did they think scoffed them all up,? Individual collectors or big boys buying in multiple lots of 100. If mint is going to lie at least let them have a certain amount of credibility to them

Really SUCKS 3 1/2 min and sold out! I’m about done with the US MINT! Who to hell can even get on in that time when everyone is trying to make orders! Reminds me of the 2916 American Liberty coin! I really do wonder what they did with the rest of them! I called and lady said they are not sure if more are coming out but do the remind thing just in case… Yeah right! I’m sure eBay will have plenty of them for way more money. Blaaaaaaa on you US MINT!!!

The US Mint just told me that they sold out in 3 1/2 min. Which dealers do you think bought the mint out. The phone rep I just talked to said she placed an order for somebody of 25,000 sets. Wouldn’t that be like a monopoly or something? Who do we call to complain about this bullshit? She did say they were unavailable, but she didn’t think they were sold out.

Does anybody know what happened today with the mint. I’m so mad! I was online at 12:05 and had my 2 sets in my cart, checked out and they disappeared at the end of the process and said unavailable. I couldn’t get through on the phone either. All those third party vendors probably ordered 10,000 coins at a time. How can the mint do this to us collectors again. Why wouldn’t they put limits on the first day at least, especially after they’re last shit storm with the gold dime. My son is having his first child in a few months and now I can’t get one. I just started collecting this last year and can’t seem to get anything special, with lower mintages from the mint. I tried to get the dime 40 min after 12 and missed out. This time I logged in at 12 and they were gone by 12:05. Something is wrong and I don’t understand. I’m so upset!

I was online ordering the 2017 s silver eagle at exactly noon. The mint let me put them in my cart and by the time I entered my credit card info they were no longer available. I wonder what happened to the ones in my cart. Just not right.

This article states that the San Francisco mint is striking a proof ASE for the first time but didn’t the San Francisco mint stroke the proof versions for the early years of the program?.. (1986 to the early 90’s) can someone fill me in with some Info regarding this matter? I kind of don’t get it

IF it sells out & I can’t buy in 10m (“S” ASE Proof) I will NOT buy from any flippers never have, never will….& the more I see what I have it may be time to liquidate v. accumulate…. The mint is reall in need of a director & some direction! You owuld think with a bidnessman as POTUS he might want a ‘real’ mint director. But, as the Gov’t only make$ the $ he has no interests, the 1% & corporations/oil & Insurance empires run the Executive branch @ present…The Mint @ best remains an afterthought……Gee how about a gold Flowing Liberty re-issue that would be awesome.

Ebay coin flippers already set up the price for S SILVER EAGLE PROOF ,I guess this coin may sold out within 10 minutes,since there are no limits , but I think there might be other surprise soon , like .9999 silver proof limited set or special SILVER medal /eagle set from 5 mints facilities.

jim –

The Mint is obviously trying to maximize its sales using their 225th anniversary as a backdrop. They issued the cent coins for circulation in January with a “P” Mint mark for the first time since the Mint was founded in 1792 without announcing it & then said they will put them in the Uncirculated Mint set this year only.
A poll by PCGS of collectors & dealers showed that nearly 70 percent will not buy the $100 African-American Lady Liberty 225th anniversary gold Proof coin mainly due to the high mintage of 100,000 without any household limits & the high price of around $1640 (I like it & will buy one).
The Mint will try anything it can to make more profit this year with gimmicks etc. as their profits have fallen so much in the past two fiscal years. There are some more surprises to come, so stay tuned.
