Jon Blogosphere, Economy, Precious Metals, Silver

With a one-year lapse in availability, the United States Mint is returning in roaring fashion with its annual 2016 Limited Edition Silver Proof Set, which went on sale at noon today.
Silver prices have fallen since 2011, when it neared record prices. A strong dollar and rebounding economy, according to experts, has undermined that silver bull run.
The Silver Proof Set, limited to 50,000 pieces, is priced at $139.95, well-above silver face value. Seven of the coins are in 90% silver and were minted by the San Francisco Mint. Another is .999 silver by West Point Mint. These collector proof quality coins feature frosted designs and mirrored backgrounds.
