<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1246878, member: 18157&quot;]This has been another slow week for 2010/2011 Silver Proof Set sales. Just nineteen (19) weeks before these products go off-sale and mintage/sales figures don&#039;t show much signs of life.</p><p><br /></p><p>2010:&nbsp; 571,186&nbsp; (+395)</p><p>2011:&nbsp; 444,355&nbsp; (+2,643)</p><p><br /></p><p>On a similar note, the sale of gold commemorative issues was suspended this week while the Mint comes up with a gold pricing grid for these products. Gold has risen 25% since these numismatic products were first priced and they were selling &quot;near bullion&quot; just prior to the sales suspension.</p><p><br /></p><p>Silver Proof Sets saw a similar sales suspension earlier this year and may see another should the price of silver increase by just a few more dollars/Oz. Even a temporary suspension of sales will further reduce these products&#039; availability prior to the announced end date of 31Dec2011. </p><p><br /></p><p>Silver&#039;s been trading in a fairly narrow range ($34-$42) for the months following the May blowout. If gold continues its upward trend, it&#039;s &quot;likely&quot; silver may try to keep up. The price of these products is &quot;near bullion&quot; now with mintage numbers well behind any other modern Silver Proof Set issue. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll try to keep it quiet...:secret: &quot;but it&#039;s...<font size="1"><span style="color: #ff0000">free money!</span></font>&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i664.photobucket.com/albums/vv10/Yakpoo/ag0365lf_ma.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
