<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 7811013, member: 66&quot;]If you go by the letter of the law, then no they can&#039;t be struck early.&nbsp; The law says that the coins have to bear the date of the year in which they were struck.&nbsp; But the Mint goes by the theory that it is OK as long as they are not released before the date that is on the coin. So they DO strike coins early so as to have a stockpile on hand and to be able to offer the new coin sets etc as soon as the new year arrives.&nbsp; Silver Eagles have been struck as early as September of the preceding year and circulation coins are commonly struck in December.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
