Gold Eagles SOLD OUT From the MINT!

AnkurJ

I just looked and it says Product Not Available for all 4 sizes including the 4 piece set for the 2007 gold eagles! Did they do this temporarily to increase the prices or did they really sell out?

I hope no one else already posted this

They'll be back with all new pricing.

Maybe the US government ran out of gold.

I wonder if the government got their supply at $20/oz. If so then they should cut us a break. I can dream can't I?

The gold stockpile at the Mint was bought months or years before at a lower price. They should only raise the price if incoming raw gold is paid at a higher spot price. And should adjust back if gold does drop in the next few weeks.

The Mint no longer purchases Gold, Silver & Plat. from surplus "defense stockpiles" Congress mandated years ago, that precious metals must be purchased from US Companies & at the going rate.

My (2) Call "Option" sets just arrived this morning.

I hope everyone got in just before they shut it off.

What if they somehow got crazy and shut downs sales forever?: WOW!!

When they come back, what higher pricing would be used?

Why haven't the Proofs been shut down?

Heck, the spread between the Unc and Proof 1/2 oz. Coin is only $20, yet the Proof is still on sale!?

Perhaps because they still have 10K more Proofs to sell based on projected Mintage.

Did the Uncs, (which are minted on demand), just happened to have LESS on-hand inventory than the proofs?

That would be interesting. Of course if/when they bring them back that action might have created more interest and sales might be robust. Then again, the higher price might be a turn off. As usual, we will just have to wait and see.

That's what I was thinking. The Mint was probably happy the price of gold went up. Cleared out the inventory.

But, I'm trying not to buy JUST because the price is goind up. If gold comes down, we'd be able to pick these up at the 'old' issue price, or lower.

It's a tough call.
