American Buffalo Gold Proof Coin Announced, Gold and Silver Eagles Canceled

Gold and Silver Eagles Cancelled

The Mint today announced that all gold and silver American Eagle proof and uncirculated coins are canceled for 2009. They also announced the cancellation of the American Eagle platinum bullion coins for 2009.

The cancellation means the following collector coins and sets will not be produced in 2009:

  • 1 0unce American Eagle silver proof coin
  • 1 ounce American Eagle silver uncirculated coin
  • 2009 US Mint uncirculated dollar coin set
  • American Eagle gold proof coins (1 ounce, 1/2 ounce, 1/4 ounce, and 1/10 ounce)
  • American Eagle gold proof 4 coin set
  • 1 0unce American Eagle uncirculated coin

American Buffalo Gold ProofThe reason for the cancellations was, “The unprecedented demand for American Eagle gold and silver bullion coins,” which the Mint is required by law to produce “in quantities sufficient to meet public demand.” Since the public demands all the gold and silver coins the Mint can stamp, no blanks are left for us, the collectors. One more reason to hope for economic recovery to pick up steam, so investors will turn back toward other options and quit hogging all the precious metals!

The Mint did throw a small bone to the numismatically minded however, as they announced a one-ounce American Buffalo Gold Proof coin and one-ounce American Eagle Platinum Proof coin for 2009. The American Buffalo coin is tentatively scheduled for an October 29 release, with the American Eagle Platinum coin scheduled for December 3.
