Two weeks after being pulled from sale by the U.S. Mint for repricing, the Proof 2011-W American Eagle silver dollar was returned to the product catalog at a price lower than when the coin was first offered in June.

The U.S. Mint also returned four formerly suspended sets to its offerings list and resumed sales of the Uncirculated 2011-W American Eagle silver dollar and the Uncirculated 2010-P Mount Hood National Forest and Uncirculated 2011-P Gettysburg National Military Park 5-ounce silver coins.

Sales of the various products were suspended Sept. 26.

Price of Proof dollar falls $9.50

The Proof 2011-W American Eagle silver dollar was placed back on sale Oct. 7 at $58.95, a price that was $1 less than when the coin was first offered for sale June 30 and $9.50 cheaper than its price when sales were suspended Sept. 26. Sales of the coin were previously suspended at the original $59.95 price Aug. 24 and resumed five days later at $68.45, a 14.1 percent increase.
