Has anyone called The Mint?

To see what the new pricing is?



Due to the substantial rise in the market price of silver, the United States Mint had to change the prices of its 2011 United States Mint Silver Proof Set and 2011 United States Mint America the Beautiful Quarters Silver Proof Set to ensure that the market value of the silver contained in them was not higher than the cost of the products themselves. We recommend that you return to our online catalog or contact the Customer Service Center at 1-800-872-6468 for pricing prior to placing your order.

    I'm waiting to call the mint to order the free 2011 dollar coin boards. They are about a month behind on their published schedule for that product.

    Look in the Federal Register. By law, the mint has to post public notice of price changes there before updating the web site.

    Do they also change their prices DOWN on non-silver proof sets that cost $16, $19, $26, etc, when the secondary market only values them at $4, $5, $6, etc?!image

    I have called the mint, in fact I have called them many unkind and malevolent things - unfortunately I cannot share them here.

    I can't pry any rumors loose lately.


    I've got nothing.
