When will the mint pull the plug on 2008-w AGE ?

I thought they were to stop selling these on 12/31/08 but their web site still shows them in stock and available for sale.

Since it takes $947 to buy a bullion 1 ounce AGE at today’s price, and the mint is selling the 2008-W one-ounce at $974.95, there is only a difference of $27.95 between the collector coin and the bullion coin. For the individual that is not just strictly a gold investor, and has some collector blood in his/her veins, I would think that the 2008-W one-ounce would be the way to go.
If the war escalates in the Gaza Strip spot gold could very well go over the mint sell price, which could happen within the next week. That means the mint will close sales immediately and just may not open them again for any more 2008-W sales.
If that happens we could very well see some fairly low mintage figures for the 2008-W AGEs making them the key to the series. Since I collect the series I have already pulled the trigger on the number of 2008-Ws that I can afford at the present time.

I'm thinking that they sold out, but I don't remember when it was.
I knew it would happen.
I ordered some 2007-W AGEs on March 17, 2008, and got them.
