Follow Up #3- US Mint Suspending Production

Greetings to our WLRC Family.

The US Mint has announced that it will continue to produce the usual coins for general circulation but it has suspended production of all numismatic items for the time being. That means that anything scheduled to be released beyond the 2020 Silver Proof Set (Apr.17 release date) is in limbo, and even then the Silver Proof Sets will be hard to get as availability is only 190,000 or so sets at present. That said, the Mint may resume production later this year. We have a standing initial order that we hope to get and will inform you of same. People who want 2020 Mint Sets or any other items not yet released are encouraged to check back with us and we will inform you as more information becomes available. It's entirely possible that some 2020 issues may end up being rare. 

Westlake Rare Coins remains closed though at least April 30th as per state mandate but keep checking this blog for more updates on the evolving COVID-19 situation. Thanks for your patience and support. We will all get through this together and come out stronger on the other side.

Thanks and be well.

A Discussion About COVID-19 And WLRC

Greetings to all our Westlake Rare Coins family.

We just wanted to take a moment during this challenging and uncertain time to let you know that just like all of you, we are closely monitoring the Coronavirus situation as it evolves and are instituting even more stringent practices along with some old fashioned common sense to help protect us all during this event. We have been and will continue to do extra cleaning of countertops, door handles and other exposed surfaces on a regular basis along with any other steps we deem appropriate to make sure you continue to have a great experience when you visit us. We would also like your help as well; if you feel ill, please stay at home...for your benefit and that of others as well. We'll still be here when you get better. We will continue to offer you the same great quality items to enable you to continue enjoying the hobby we all love.

As to the coin market... lower metals prices have led to higher demand and some shortages in the areas of bullion, 90% silver etc. We will have these items whenever they are available, on a first come, first served basis. 

More updates to come, so keep periodically clicking the "Blog" link above!

Thanks and be well!
