2010 United States Mint America the Beautiful Quarters Silver Proof Set
Recent gains in silver have once again forced the United States Mint to stop selling some of its products containing that precious metal.
As silver rose over $40 an ounce on Friday, the US Mint halted the sales of its 2010 Silver Proof Set and the 2010 America the Beautiful Quarters Silver Proof Set. Buyers looking to purchase the sets from the US Mint’s website will see the announcement of "This product is temporarily unavailable" in place of the normal add to cart option.
It is not the first time in recent history that one of these sets had been placed on the "temporarily unavailable" list. Early last month, the Mint stopped selling the 2010 United States Mint America the Beautiful Quarters Silver Proof Set™ when silver rallied over $35 an ounce. [click to continue…]

This set is one of three that had its prices raised by the United States Mint
The United States Mint has increased prices for its 2010-2011 America the Beautiful Quarters Silver Proof Sets.
The sets feature collector versions of the circulating America the Beautiful Quarters®. These coins are minted to a proof standard and each are struck in 90 percent silver. It is their silver composition that caused the Mint to raise the prices.
Silver this year has shot up to levels not seen since 1980 when the Hunt brothers attempted to corner the silver market. The United States Mint, as a result, reviewed its product pricing to make sure it was not selling silver coins and sets that had melt values that were higher than what it was charging.
