Does anyone know it the mint is holding them back or are they finally out of them.(1999).I went to order my usual 5 and they came up no longer available?

There was a thread here a few months back that they are all gone...

They're all gone. But You can buy them from me, graded PCGS PR69DCAM at less than cost

The item comes up under Special Collectibles at the mint site, and indicates 'in stock'.

750,000 struck, and still going? Has to be a modern record for longevity as an available item at the mint site.

I thought I read they were gone, too. Suppose they found a hidden hoard (shudder)?

Weren't the 1976 3 piece proof sets (clad & silver) available from the US Mint until 1982. Obviously the web site didn't exist yet. But available for 6 years.

The 1999 proof set is not truly complete without the 1999 SBA $1 proof. Does this mean the mintage of the 1999 proof set is only 750,000?

The mint should have made a silver SBA $1 proof for the 1999 silver proof set.

A silver proof would have sold out a bit more quickly, I think.

The Good News is that the New Millenium came and went without the planet or the cyber-universe collapse.

The Bad News is the SBA is still for sale at USmint.gov.
