<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 432410, member: 9474&quot;]As some of you may have heard, the US Mint was going to honor the 50 year anniversary of NASA with a tremendous 9 coin silver proof set and 1 $50 proof gold coin.&nbsp; They were not planning on minting uncirculated versions of these coins.&nbsp; If I remember correctly..... each coin would represent each of the 9 planets on one side and a commemorative NASA event on the other (and for all you planetary purists out there... the mint even acknowledged that the 9th silver coin will honor pluto... the dwarf planet - even though it is no longer considered a planet).&nbsp; The one gold coin would represent the sun and something quite significant on the other side... my mind definitely slips me here.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In the most recent edition of Numismatic News, there was an article about how the mint has supended the program for at least two years.&nbsp; The reason stated was the shortage of both silver and gold which is needed... BY LAW... to make silver and gold bullion.&nbsp; They were actually going to try and roll out the series at the end of this year.&nbsp; They can&#039;t do it next year because they already have their two allowed commemorative coins planned.&nbsp; So that moves the program to 2010.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was really looking forward to this collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
