US Mint Out of Not Only Silver But Gold American Eagles as Well
June 2, 2010
By: Tyler Durden, Wednesday, June 2, 2010
Update: After following up with the Mint, any shipments and
deliveries of American Eagle 2010 edition both gold and silver are TBD
and the mint has no idea on when these will be received if at all this
year. A small shipment of American Buffalo gold coins will go on sale on
June 3 at noon. The mint expects these to sell out promptly.
Earlier we reported [2] that the US Mint has run out of American
Eagle silver coins. It turns out the Mint is also out of gold American
Eagles. Here is the US Mint page linking to various American Eagle
subcategories [3].
And here is the specific “availability” of:
1. American Eagle Gold Proof Coins [4]:
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.
Currently, all available 22-karat gold blanks are being allocated to
the American Eagle Gold Bullion Coin Program, as the United States
Mint is required by Public Law 99-185 to produce these coins “in
quantities sufficient to meet public demand . . . .”
The United States Mint will resume the American Eagle Gold Proof
and Uncirculated Coin Programs once sufficient inventories of gold
bullion blanks can be acquired to meet market demand for all three
American Eagle Gold Coin products. Additionally, as a result of the
recent numismatic product portfolio analysis, fractional sizes of
American Eagle Gold Uncirculated Coins will no longer be produced.
Update: Due to the continued, sustained demand
for American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins, 2009-dated American Eagle
Gold Proof Coins will not be produced.
2. American Eagle Gold Uncirculated Coins [6]:
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.
Currently, all available 22-karat gold blanks are being allocated to
the American Eagle Gold Bullion Coin Program, as the United States
Mint is required by Public Law 99-185 to produce these coins “in
quantities sufficient to meet public demand . . . .”
The United States Mint will resume the American Eagle Gold Proof
and Uncirculated Coin Programs once sufficient inventories of gold
bullion blanks can be acquired to meet market demand for all three
American Eagle Gold Coin products. Additionally, as a result of the
recent numismatic product portfolio analysis, fractional sizes of
American Eagle Gold Uncirculated Coins will no longer be produced.
Update: Due to the continued, sustained demand
for American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins, 2009-dated American Eagle
Gold Uncirculated Coins will not be produced.
For those looking for Platinum, the 2010 on sale date is still TBD:
In 2009, the United States Mint introduced a new six-year
platinum coin program. This new series explores the core concepts of
American democracy by highlighting the Preamble to the United States
Constitution. This program will examine the six (6) principles of
the Preamble as follows:
1. 2009–To Form a More Perfect Union, SOLD OUT
2. 2010–To Establish Justice,
3. 2011–To Insure Domestic Tranquility,
4. 2012–To Provide for the Common Defence,
5. 2013–To Promote General Welfare, and
6. 2014–To Secure the Blessings of Liberty to Ourselves and our
Posterity.
The themes for the reverse designs for this program are inspired
by narratives prepared by the Chief Justice of the United States,
John G. Roberts, Jr., at the request of the United States Mint.
2010 on sale date: To be determined.
