Dear United States Mint Customer,

Production of the United States Mint American Eagle Silver Proof and
Uncirculated Coins was suspended this year because of unprecedented
demand for American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins. 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
..."

I thought this was weird and should share it with members of ATS. Apparently the US Mint is suspending most silver coin production. The bullion prgram is still in affect, but bullions sales are conducted through places like APMEX and NWTmint.

I find this odd, when people are saying the recession is over and the DOW is over 10,000. Yet Unemployment is at almost 10%, banks are still failing, and gold is over $1060 an ounce. Silver by the way is almost at $18 an ounce.

Something just isn't right. This demand the US mint speaks of isn't by the survivalist types like me who get a little bit here and there. The demand is a real demand by people who have more money than they know what to do with. I wonder if they know something I don't?

If you don't know the economy is NOT recovering - then - yes they probably do know something you don't.

The stock exchange is being driven up for another crash - everyone who is anyone knows it.

I expect gold and silver to drop significantly when it happens - although it is possible they will go up .. it's really hard to tell.

It also should rally the US dollar, if what happened last time is repeated.

After that - the dollar MUST be devalued - probably it will be devalued as the banks have a holiday in the wake of the crash - silver and gold will come out the other end of the bank holiday at vastly increased values.

When will the crash happen? Whenever the Fed decides to make it happen - I can't see things zombie'ing along for more than 12 months though - I think a crash in the next few weeks is quite possible.

Buy silver and gold, this thing is far from over.

Gold and silver are still far under valued, in fact, this is done on purpose. Metals relate the inflation of the currency, to have it rise appropriately would display true inflation..

The market being at over 10k, the dollar dropping, means inflation has reared its ugly head.. but oddly the money and credit supply are still contracting, thus we are experiencing still, deflation. However, it sets the stage for this tidal wave of cheap cash to hit the broader economy.. how this will be done with out job creation I am not entirely sure.. but we could be entering a period that looks like recovery at last and turn out to be another nightmare.

Its just waiting to see the pieces of the puzzle to fall into place. I would not be surprised to see the DOW shoot past 10k and not look back. Does that equate recovery? .. sure, if you make your millions in the markets. If your the average citizen your recovery is nowhere in sight.

Dow up
Gold up
Dollar down

Expect to see your costs of living skyrocket.. foods, oil, energy, clothing.. all the while expect no pay raises, to live in fear you'll be laid off, earn no interest in your accounts, be told things are finally looking up while your debtors work to destroy your bank accounts..
