low supply/high demand ...they're hard to find these days.
and the 1oz. gold coins...forget about it. If you can find any they will cost well over $900 and could take a couple of months for delivery.
In this episode of spare change we look at the American Silver Eagle. The history behind this silver coin is very interesting along with the ...
No date has been set yet. It depends on how busy the mint is. In 2009 we will have 4 different Lincoln cents in collector strikes as well as circulation strikes this will take up some time the first of the year so maybe by spring or early summer. You will just have to wait for the mint to say just when.
You can send it to the many grading services, who for a fee, will grade your coin and place it in a hermetically sealed case (slab).
Does anyone know where you can buy American Eagle Silver Proofs at a discount/or in bulk? I see them on Ebay with starting bids of $8 and I have been trying to figure out where they get them so cheaply.
Thanks!

Maybe here. Maybe the ebay people are just trying to raise cash.
Silver is at 20.10 an ounce
The Silver eagle market is around 22$ for a regular date - so thats the bear minimum.
All silver eagles are uncirculated so quality is prob not an issue for you, if they are still in their original case from the mint they are probably ms 67- to ms 69.
Both of your coins are around $34-40.
Hold onto them, silver will probably increase even more as the economy slumps.
2009 American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins Sold Out | Silver Coins
As previously reported -- only minutes ago, the United States Mint sold 28,766,500 of the one ounce coins last year which shattered the record set just one year before by over 9 million. By adding in the latest available sales figures from the Mint of 367,500 sold this month, we find that 29,134,000 of the 2009-dated Silver Eagles were purchased in total.
It is uncommon for the Mint to still be selling the previous years bullion issues into a new year. Typically, production is stopped on a year's mintage by late November to allow the Mint sufficient time to create an inventory of the next year's coin before making them available near the 1st of the year. Unfortunately, due to the overwhelming demand last year for silver coins, the Mint was forced to keep striking that year's issue.
