Latest from the U.S. Mint on the Proof and Uncirculated American Eagle Silver Coins

See below for the latest from the U.S. Mint's website on the production of the American Silver Eagle Proof and Uncirculated Coins.

"Production of United States Mint American Eagle Silver Proof and Uncirculated Coins has been temporarily suspended because of unprecedented demand for American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins. Currently, all available silver bullion blanks are being allocated to the American Eagle Silver Bullion Coin Program, as the United States Mint is required by Public Law 99-61 to produce these coins “in quantities sufficient to meet public demand . . . .”
The United States Mint will resume the American Eagle Silver Proof and Uncirculated Coin Programs once sufficient inventories of silver bullion blanks can be acquired to meet market demand for all three American Eagle Silver Coin products."

I wonder what this will do to quality control

 

most likely bring it down a notch, if possible.

I thought all coins were by law mandated to meet public demand? I know some have 500,000 limits depending on the law, but it still public demand UP To that point isnt it? So why does the mint pick the Eagles to make over anything else... is the profit margain larger on that coin?
