These guys are going to print dollars and keep interest rates as low as possible for some time. Even Pimco's Bill Gross mentioned that he does not see interest rates going up next year hence lower dollar hence higher metal prices. I definately invest with caution but fundamentally metals, especially gold and silver, is where the future will be for the next 3 - 5 years. Imagine if only 10% of the population invested only 3%- 5% of their portfolio in the PS area, what would happen to the prices. Their is no doubt that we will see some bumps along the way but we are headed much higher. My money is with the 08 coins especially the fractionas and silver bullion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-90534656567020133892009-12-07T16:16:44.449-08:002009-12-07T16:16:44.449-08:00Figures come out weekly.

That seems a little high as I understand they are not a proof finish.

But for every 5 oz. proof quarter the mint churns out they can do 5 proof ASE's. The mint should be offering 1 oz. proof ASE as just about everyone can get one. Not everyone is going to have the two or three hundred for a 5 oz. quarter. Now having said this the Mint has not made any announcement yet on the '10 proof ASE so maybe there is enough silver to please everyone. Otherwise I again may be saying Feliz Navidad to the Mexico mint in one year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-77058256815807358352009-12-06T07:40:46.436-08:002009-12-06T07:40:46.436-08:00Your points are certainly arguable, but part of it...Your points are certainly arguable, but part of it is that the First Spouse series is not a widely popular series. The UHR would most certainly have to be considered a successful series given that they’ve sold over 100,000 of them. The point I was making there was not directed at a particular series though, just the fact that the Mint is having to ration coins due to precious metal shortage.<br /><br />Interesting about the 2000 silver proof set. I wonder what lead to that pricing disparity…<br /><br />I agree with the poster about the RCM offering too many coins. Some of their offerings have a mintage limit of 5,000 and they still don’t sell out since they offer so many coins. I hope the US Mint doesn’t follow suit. It would be a shame if our Mint started competing the mints like the Franklin mint.Davenoreply@blogger.com
