[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 862225, member: 112"]It's not that there isn't enough silver - there's plenty of silver, mountains of the stuff out there. The issue is that the law states that the mint has to produce enough of the bullion business strikes to meet demand. Now there are two problems with doing that. 1 - the mint has to have the time, machines and manpower to do it. 2 - the mint has to be able to procure enough planchets to make the coins to do it. As it stands, they can't do it. So there is no time, machines and manpower to do it and there is not enough planchets to do it. Same problems they had last year. And there is no law that says they have to produce the Proofs. So you can call all the people you want, you can write all the people you want. But it will do no good. Not saying you shouldn't do it anyway. Just stating the reality of the situation. As they say, life sucks.[/QUOTE]
