US Mint Sets 2012 Product Prices for Collector Silver Eagles and Annual Sets

While many other U.S. Mint product prices have been slashed for 2012, the Proof Silver Eagle is set to launch at a higher price than when last year's coin, shown above, sold out. The United States Mint on Wednesday officially set prices for the 2012 Proof Silver Eagle and major annual sets after having revealed several other significant product changes on Friday, including reduced quarter product prices and new Presidential $1 coin products. "The United States Mint is pleased to announce that it is reducing or maintaining 2011 prices for some of its most popular products to be offered in 2012," a United States Mint news statement explains. "The bureau was able to set these lower prices and maintain others by refining the product costing process, taking advantage of current lower prices for precious metals and negotiating better pricing from its suppliers."
