: The U.S. mint says on it's web site they did not strike any UNC or proof for 2009 or 2010 yet some dealers have the UNC's. How come? Is the mint discriminating against the little person?

There are two different types of Unc Silver Eagles.
What the mint didn't strike was the 'special' Unc version with the W mint mark. Those and the proofs were sold directly to collectors.
The mint struck lots of 'regular' unc silver eagles in 2009 and the mintage for 2010 is already over 9 million in the first quarter.
However, the mint does discriminate against the little person when it comes to the 'regular' unc silver eagles in that only about a dozen Authorized Buyers can get them directly from the mint. Dealers buy from them and that makes you third in the food chain.
