First 2009 US Mint Re-Pricing

Yesterday the US Mint switched the status of all remaining gold products to "Product is not available." This was in advance of their first product re-pricing under their new pricing policy. The coins reappeared this morning with new prices.

The price changes are indicated in the table below:

The prices have been adjusted for an average gold price in the $850 to $899.99 range. Gold is currently trading at $828. Gold has declined from its recent peak around $880 with more than a $20 drop this morning.

It's somewhat ironic and frustrating that the US Mint's first price adjustment is a sharp increase, which comes amidst a $50 drop in the price of gold. On the bright side, the next price adjustment might come as soon as this Thursday if the price of gold remains under pressure.
