Happy new year to all! 'Due to unexpectedly high demand for silver Eagle coins, the U.S. Mint had stopped taking orders on December 9 and will not resume taking orders until January 29. According to a Mint spokesman, sales surged so much during the latter part of the year that suppliers were unable to produce enough blanks which are put into presses to make the coins.
