First Spouse coins have low mintage in part due to high prices, well with gold above $1400/ oz the FS coins will get a $50 price bump! That should keep the mintage for current and future coins very low. That price increase will effect all gold coins including the proof AGE. There is no stated pricing matrix for US Mint silver coins that I'm aware of so the Proof's ASE prices look much more reasonable with silver approaching $28/ oz. Any bets about a Silver pricing matrix announcement prior to the 11/17 ASE sales date? :devil: Two months ago silver/ gold ratio was over 67:1 now it is below 51:1 so silver has appreciated at approximately 30% faster than gold. The Mint can not afford not to establish a Silver pricing matrix :yes::yes::yes:
The mint established the same pricing rules to silver as they did to gold at the same time they did gold. They set up the platinum pricing structure too. Point is, they did them all at the same time.
I've been speculating about this for quite some time on CT, especially raising this thought based on the 5 oz. Parks bullion coins yet to be released or priced. I think it will happen but only if silver can be sustained at these elevated prices and not just spiking sporadically. This would also affect the pricing of all other silver Mint products, so I think the Mint are loath to want to deal with the issue at this time and will continue selling silver products as they have indefinitely.
Of course they did, but the Mint has not been adjusting prices accordingly on silver products currently on sale since they initiated this precious metals pricing matrix as they have been with gold and platinum products. So that's a mute point and isn't answering what the OP is asking about, will the Mint begin this practice with silver adjusting according to weekly averages.
