saying they will be processing my order for my yearly subscription for the ASE Proofs in about 4 weeks. So I guess they will be minting them this year for sure. here is the email Quote:Dear United States Mint Customer, The United States Mint will be processing your subscription order for the 2010 American Eagle Silver Proof Coin in approximately 4 weeks. Our records indicate you have the following subscription(s): 1 American Eagle Silver Proof Coin(s) 1 American Eagle Silver Proof Coin(s) NOTE: Due to the increase in the cost of silver, the 2010 American Eagle Silver Proof Coin is priced at $45.95. There will be an initial order limit of 100 coins per household. We encourage you to keep your subscription accounts updated. Should you need to update your billing and shipping information, please sign in at http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wc...alogId=10001 I also see on their website it says they will go on sale on November 19th but they will not be making the Burnished Uncirculated ASE this year again |

wonder if these will be a smoking item.
Might be worth it to pick a few up... though, it would be a decent gamble.

I think they will probably sell pretty good since they didn't make any at all last year but this is purely speculation

I agree. I am actually considering one for myself, but just for the story. I have no intentions of ever selling it.  |

I received the same e-mail. I get 2, one for me and the other for my brother. His reward for getting me into coins in the first place.

THESE EMAILS ARE AN ERROR
After being livid like most, I called the mint, hit 1, the first message on there was "we are aware that some people have received emails about cancelled orders and items being out of stock, these emails were sent in error and we are working on correcting it"
So not being one to sit on hold with the man, I hung up and figured we will wait and see.
The mint has a terribly slow email system - they normally send out messages saying "this item now on sale" about 20 to 30 hours after it is on sale...

For some reason, PBGS decided to enter subscription orders into the system two weeks before the coins are set to go on sale. They have been in the habit of doing this two days ahead for some time now, ever since we called them to task on the promise that subscription orders are supposed to be the first ones entered. I believe that this decision to change from two days to two weeks was not properly researched and that they have run afoul of daemons in the ordering system that automatically send out back order notices and ones that cancel attempts to enter orders before products officially go on sale. Everything was fine at two days, the software evidently had some leeway built in but this shift to a two week lead caused the system to come to action and send out backorder notices for stale orders and then to spot items being ordered before they are supposed to be and it started cancelling them because that is mint policy:
"To ensure that all members of the public have fair and equal access to United States Mint products, any order placed prior to the official on-sale date and time of November 19, 2010, 12:00 Noon (ET) shall not be deemed accepted by the United States Mint and will not be honored."
I think that PBGS outsmarted itself and is now paying the price for laziness and is having to reinstate all of the cancelled orders and find out how to disable the processes that back-order and cancel. Frankly, I was bothered when they started the two day thing specifically because of the above policy. All in all, another PBGS bungle. They will blame it on the computers, but the computers are doing exactly what they were told to do. This is PBGS's fault.

well even if it wasn't in error there isn't allot we can do about it but moan and groan about it. If we getem we getem, if we don't, not allot we can do to change their mind so its just a wait and see kind of thing as it was before they ever decided to even mint these things Quote:
$50 a piece? Are these really worth it? Since there wasn't any 2009 these will probably sell out very quickly. I don't usually make a statement on rarity when it comes to products the mint produces. the last time I did was the 20th anniversary ASE sets and I bought 20 sets of those for $100.00 a pop and by the time they arrived in the mail they were already selling for three times that amount because they sold out so fast and everyone needed the reverse proof which was the only way to get it was in this set |
