<p>[QUOTE="quarterlover, post: 707223, member: 1433"]Hey guys, I'm back on after a long hiatus from coins-January of this year I guess! I went onto the Mint's web site last night and was shocked that they are no longer selling silver eagle proofs. Well, in a way I'm not. If you look around on the net there are all these chicken-little types running around talking about the "coming economic depression and crash of our economy" and they are all telling people to buy silver and gold! So its no wonder there is a shortage of silver right now, people are buying the stuff up because they fear the collapse of the dollar. I am not convinced that buying up tons of silver coins is the answer, even though I believe the part about our dollar becoming much like toilet paper. About 2 years ago I had a bunch of silver eagles and sold it off to pay a debt, got away from coin collecting about a year ago when I sold off just about all my collection to include my state quarter and proof set collection. I left coins to persue another hobby and recently decided to casually start my collection again. Until people stop this panic buying of silver, we probably won't be seeing anymore silver eagles for a while. I'm almost glad I dumped my collection because I'd have holes right now. Oh well. I'm back for whatever it's worth![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
