The website says: American Eagle Silver Proof Coins Production of United States Mint American Eagle Silver Proof and Uncirculated Coins has been temporarily suspended because of unprecedented demand for American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins. Currently, all available silver bullion blanks are being allocated to the American Eagle Silver Bullion Coin Program, as the United States Mint is required by Public Law 99-61 to produce these coins “in quantities sufficient to meet public demand . . . .” The United States Mint will resume the American Eagle Silver Proof and Uncirculated Coin Programs once sufficient inventories of silver bullion blanks can be acquired to meet market demand for all three American Eagle Silver Coin products. and Production of United States Mint American Eagle Gold Proof and Uncirculated Coins has been temporarily suspended because of unprecedented demand for American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins.

Capt-AWACS Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Yes, I know what the mint website says. I am curious as to when or if they will attempt to mint the proofs. I've heard nothing from any media or mint sources on the issue. A couple of weeks ago I asked at the mint kiosk at DC Union Station and the mint employee told me she gets asked that at least once a day, but has heard nothing.

Capt-AWACS Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 well my question about Proof silver eagles has been answered/ Mint press release today: October 6, 2009 Agency also announces products not offered in 2009 WASHINGTON - The United States Mint announced today that it will offer for sale 2009 one-ounce American Buffalo Proof Gold Coins and one-ounce American Eagle Platinum Proof Coins. The release dates for these products are tentatively October 29 and December 3, 2009, respectively. In addition, the agency will release the one-ounce 2009 American Buffalo Gold Bullion Coin on October 15 and the fractional 2009 American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins-in the one-half ounce, one-quarter ounce, and one-tenth ounce weights-on December 3. The United States Mint will not offer the following products in 2009: the one-ounce American Eagle Silver Proof Coin; the one-ounce American Eagle Silver Uncirculated Coin; the American Eagle Gold Proof Coins (all weights, as well as the four-coin set); the one-ounce American Eagle Gold Uncirculated Coin; the United States Mint Annual Uncirculated Dollar Coin SetTM, which also includes a one-ounce American Eagle Silver Uncirculated Coin; and the American Eagle Platinum Bullion Coins (all weights). Because of unprecedented demand for American Eagle Gold and Silver Bullion Coins, the United States Mint suspended production of 2009 proof and uncirculated versions of these coins. All available 22-karat gold and silver bullion blanks are being allocated to the American Eagle Gold and American Eagle Silver Bullion Coin Programs, as mandated by Public Law 99-185 and Public Law 99-61, respectively. Both laws direct the agency to produce these coins in quantities sufficient to meet public demand. The proof and uncirculated versions of the American Eagle Gold and Silver Proof Coins are not mandated by law. The United States Mint is working diligently with current and potential blank suppliers to increase the supply of bullion coin blanks, so it can offer to the public the proof and uncirculated versions of American Eagle silver, gold, and platinum coins in 2010. The United States Mint, created by Congress in 1792, is the Nation's sole manufacturer of legal tender coinage. Its primary mission is to produce an adequate volume of circulating coinage for the Nation to conduct its trade and commerce. The United States Mint also produces proof, uncirculated and commemorative coins; Congressional Gold Medals; and silver, gold and platinum bullion coins.

UncleBobo Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I ordered the mint set yesterday and they shipped it today. I've never had as fast a turnover when dealing with the mint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I got my Mint Sets and they're beauties. I'd guess most of the coins would fall short of MS70 by a bit, but no dogs or fingerprints or such. All the Lincolns are clear and spotless. Frankly it's a very impressive set.

Capt-AWACS Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I bought a set today at the US Mint sales store at Washington Union Station (my favourite!). I was surprised to see they had the 2008 eight "dollar" set with the silver eagle and "golden" dollars for sale. They did not have those out the last few months.
