Here we go again, Gang!

Last year, following the issue of the 25th Anniversary Sets, the Mint did state that some form of "Special Mint Set" silver eagles may be issued on an annual basis. My view is "How are they going to milk us out of our cash now?"

The Mint has the set listed on its Calandar, and announced the set will be issued on June 7, 2012, and confirmed that the basic details have been decided with production scheduled to begin on May 11.

The set commemorating the 75th Anniversary of the current San Francisco Mint will include a 2012-S Proof Silver Eagle and 2012-S Reverse Proof Silver Eagle. These coins will represent two new special versions of the Silver Eagle, potentially unique to the set. Quantity is estimated at 300,000 sets, with a one per household limit, priced about $125/set.

The Mint has also indicated that they may also offer an Uncirculated version of the Silver Eagle with the "S" mint mark for 2012.

I'd like to see them come out with a "D" mintmark Silver Eagle Set, that's never been done! Most of all, I'd like the Mint to diversify the image on the obverse, as they have done with the Platinum Eagles and Native American/Sacagewea dollars.
