United States Mint to Offer 2009 American Buffalo Proof Gold and American Eagle Platinum Proof Coins

WASHINGTON - The United States Mint announced today that it will offer for sale 2009 one-ounce American Buffalo Proof Gold Coins and one-ounce American Eagle Platinum Proof Coins. The release dates for these products are tentatively October 29 and December 3, 2009, respectively. In addition, the agency will release the one-ounce 2009 American Buffalo Gold Bullion Coin on October 15 and the fractional 2009 American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins-in the one-half ounce, one-quarter ounce, and one-tenth ounce weights-on December 3.
The United States Mint will not offer the following products in 2009: the one-ounce American Eagle Silver Proof Coin; the one-ounce American Eagle Silver Uncirculated Coin; the American Eagle Gold Proof Coins (all weights, as well as the four-coin set); the one-ounce American Eagle Gold Uncirculated Coin; the United States Mint Annual Uncirculated Dollar Coin Set^TM, which also includes a one-ounce American Eagle Silver Uncirculated Coin; and the American Eagle Platinum Bullion Coins (all weights).
Because of unprecedented demand for American Eagle Gold and Silver Bullion Coins, the United States Mint suspended production of 2009 proof and uncirculated versions of these coins. All available 22-karat gold and silver bullion blanks are being allocated to the American Eagle Gold and American Eagle Silver Bullion Coin Programs, as mandated by Public Law 99-185 and Public Law 99-61, respectively. Both laws direct the agency to produce these coins in quantities sufficient to meet public demand. The proof and uncirculated versions of the American Eagle Gold and Silver Proof Coins are not mandated by law.
The United States Mint is working diligently with current and potential blank suppliers to increase the supply of bullion coin blanks, so it can offer to the public the proof and uncirculated versions of American Eagle silver, gold, and platinum coins in 2010.
The United States Mint, created by Congress in 1792, is the Nation's sole manufacturer of legal tender coinage. Its primary mission is to produce an adequate volume of circulating coinage for the Nation to conduct its trade and commerce. The United States Mint also produces proof, uncirculated and commemorative coins; Congressional Gold Medals; and silver, gold and platinum bullion coins.

They aren't producing ASE proofs either.

Update: Due to the continued, sustained demand for American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins, 2009-dated American Eagle Silver Proof Coins will not be produced.

Basic criminal confession there.

Re: U.S. mint will NOT be producing Proof AGE eagles this year
 

They are NOT stupid - they just got BURNED with PLATINUM two years ago - $2300 to $800.

Now they will wait for GOLD to do ITS special thing (read $800 to $2400) then they'll find a LOT of MINT proofs and Uncirculated.

Heck, I'd the same thing - it's good for profits business to screw the clients, right?

Maybe because they want to "LOOK GOOD" and sell a few 1000 of them so the fools think they are good.

I know it might be hard:

But try to -

Think out of the box - the jerks have not sold ONE, REPEAT one, the whole damn year as of yet. So they dump a few - hell I'll buy ten because they are rare. Hell they have not sold one of the LAW they are supposed to follow in about 30 other coins in precious metals either - why? If they are supposed to why don't they do it. I don't know THINK OUT OF THE BOX.

Obama just printed enough money to buy all the gold and silver we've minted in 200 years, why?:111:

But most can NOT afford them at around $1500 each - can they?

Re: U.S. mint will NOT be producing Proof AGE eagles this year
 

Damn - as soon as they POST at the mint I ORDER - no matter what you buy they will be RARE in production.

I want any proof coin that BURBS out of the mint like Billy Clinton leaving the college dorm at 3:oo a.m. they will be hard to catch...

I'll probably help the US Mint out with an order for (1) proof Buff and (1) proof Plat.
It's the least I can do.
Still hoping for 2009 5/9 maples
