Default Gold proof coins not available at US Mint web site


Just had pointed out to me that none of the 2006 gold proof
coins (one ounce, half ounce, quarter ounce, tenth ounce, or the
four coin set) are still for sale on the US mint web site. All
are marked "product is not available."
Did they sell out, or is the melt price too close to the
sale price?

The latter. The Mint's product page under "No Longer Available" says:

Due to the increasing market value of gold, the American Eagle Gold
Proof Coins are temporarily unavailable while pricing for this option
can be adjusted; therefore, no orders can be taken at this time. We
expect products to be available with adjusted pricing on or after May
18, 2006.

very living rock upon which we now stand:

With Platinum at almost $1300/oz, I wonder how much longer those will
be available before "adjustsment".

Buy the book before the coin
don't forget to *READ* the book after you've bought it!
It doesn't do anything just sitting on the shelf
