December 29, 2015 by Mike Unser · Leave a Comment
Less than 24 hours remain to buy American Silver Eagles from the United States Mint. The agency will stop selling the silver coins and all products with them at noon ET on Dec. 30, 2015. Dates of issues range from 2013 to 2015. In addition, going off sale at the same time are all 2015 commemorative coins.
Sales of American Silver Eagles are ending, according to the U.S. Mint, because of a change in law that requires all collector editions in 2016 to have smooth edges with lettering denoting the 30th anniversary of the first issue. Silver Eagles have had reeded edges since their introduction in 1986.
