2009 American Silver Eagle Proofs & Lincoln Commemorative
According to the US Mint website they are suspended indefinitely due to a
shortage of silver blanks which are all being allocated to the bullion strikes. :-/ And they STILL have not shipped any Lincoln commemoratives. The date has changed so many times it is just silly. I am starting to wonder if the production of these is going to be cut short. |

If you mean the Lincoln $1 silver proofs, I got my 3 last week, others got them even earlier. I have a standing subscription for 3 AES $1 every year so I don't worry about getting my order in. If the Mint does it rationally - not a foregone conclusion - subscription orders ought to be filled first. |

Yes that would make sense... but we are talking about the US Mint ;-) I think the Mint is just following a Congressional mandate, but where's the logic in giving priority allocation of AES planchets to common bullion coin production when they can turn a pretty penny for the Treasury by diverting a few hundred thousand of the current stock to proofs and uncirculateds for collectors? Yes, they were originally intended to be bullion products, but still... |

Today I do not. That usually means they have shipped or will in a couple days. Hooray! |
