"Have you secured your order of 2011 Silver American Eagles yet? Now is the time to act. We have received news that the U.S. Mint is limiting the allocation of 2011 Silver American Eagles to distributors. We will accommodate as many of our customers as possible, but it will be “first come, first served” for this beginning allocation."

Limited supply of silver ?

    I got that email, but I considered it noise, at which point it was thoroughly dispatched.

    It probably just means the mintage won't be as high as the past couple of years, where it's been over 30mil. Even producing 2008's previous high of 20mil would be considered a significant cutback in comparison.

    Received the same email, but since I wanted to order some when they became available, I took the plunge & ordered several rolls. One less item that was on my list to get in 2011.

    I would hope so, they wouldn't stay in business long if they didn't hype their products...Margins to small & competition to fierce in the PM world. ( Another free reality check for you )

    I'll never be a fan of marketing hype.

    No more ASEs for me. I am finally done with them. What a relief.

    A bill has passed both houses and only awaits pres. signature.

    The law used to read:

    "quantities sufficient to meet public demand"

    and will now read:

    "quantities and qualities that the Secretary determines are sufficient to meet public demand"

    As straight bullion, I don't understand what difference the date makes? I always buy the random year rolls from APMEX as they are cheaper and are still 1 oz .999 Ag just like any other year.

    Do they give you a roll of a random year, or are they 20 random years?

    Great ... I'll trade you my, your choice, 2009 or 2010 roll for your 1996 roll image

    All the random year rolls I got this year were 2010.
