> Official reports of planchet shortages

US Mint has been to getting gold planchets from the Perth Mint, Australia.

The price increase is wholesale, which means it might be difficult to pass on to retail, because buyers might switch to Maple Leafs, Kangaroos, Philharmonic, Panda, etc...

Regarding the British Sovereigns they are selling, their site says they are "under $80 each" but doesn't quote a specific price. BU Sovereigns are $64.55 at ajpm.com, so one should expect to pay closer to $65 than $80. Shop around !
