US Mint 2011 Product Schedule

Yesterday, the United States Mint announced their scheduled product listing for their 2011 numismatic product portfolio.

Last year, the schedule had only been announced in preliminary format, with exact dates provided throughout the year. Also, the collector versions of the Gold and Silver Eagle were initially missing.

This year, exact release dates are provided for virtually all expected products. This includes release dates of April 21 for the 2011 Proof Gold Eagles and "by July 6, 2011" for the 2011 Proof Silver Eagle. After years of trouble meeting bullion coin demand, which resulted in delays or cancellations for the numismatic products, the situation finally seems to be under control. Bullion coins have not been suspended or rationed for many months, and the US Mint has greater flexibility in offering collector versions following the passage of H.R. 6162.

Some other pleasant surprises are earlier release dates for precious metals products, with the 2011 Proof Gold Buffalo scheduled for April 18 and the 2011 Proof Platinum Eagle for May 26.

The collectible uncirculated version of the American Gold Eagle will make a come back next year, with sales starting on May 5. These coins are struck on specially burnished blanks and carry the "W" mint mark. Only the one ounce size is expected to be available. This version of the Gold Eagle has not been offered since 2008.

The 2011-W uncirculated Silver Eagle is still listed as TBD.
