<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dave92029, post: 1010683, member: 26916&quot;]I believe that the Mint gave everyone a lot of notice when the Silver Proof Eagles will begin shipping, so that we could get our Holiday gift giving orders in time. It appears to me that the Mint wants most of the orders thru the Subscription system so that they know how many to produce. I presume that the Mint will gauge their production based on orders in house prior to 11-17-10. They will probably have a relatively small allocation for orders received on or after that date.</p><p>You can enter a subscription (pre-order) the Proof Eagles now, and cancel this subscription after receiving the 2010 coins if you don&#039;t want the same quantity in 2011. It appears to me that this is the best way to place your order. </p><p>Most businesses have low productivity between Thanksgiving and New Years and I would expect the same to be true of a Gov&#039;t Agency such as the US Mint, which probably has generous vacation and sick leave benefits available to be accessed during this time of year. It is also probably the time of year when the equipment gets their annual maintenance performed. </p><p>My long way of saying that I agree with you that the Mint will proabably stop the presses around the end of the first week in December makes a lot of sense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
