Yeah that one would be a real bummer alright. No enhancements at all?

Excellent Topic, Boba Your photos are Excellent, Thanks My view the U S Mint's did an Enhanced Uncirculated 2013-W as pictured finish is " their " interpretation " of the just One example of that finish. We can have Our own favorite enhancements , However they simply chose to " enhance " as they saw fit.  Now The 2026 U S Mint's product schedule Line-Up has Significantly stated " Enhanced Uncirculated " on Many products this year.   The Honor of being highlighted like this during Our Country's 250TH Anniversary is Significant, Awesome finishes to come...............  |

The application of the different finishes is going to be dictated by the design. With the Liberty Walking design, it's complex enough that certain areas are naturally going to be selected for enhancement, the stripes, the field of the flag, the stars. No one is going to enhance a non-existent detail. They can vary what areas get what finish, as they did with the 2013 vs the 2019 ERP (again the ERP is just a rearrangement of the finishes, starting with the field of the coin), but other than that, with the exception of Liberty's feet and sandals, all 2019 was was rearranging. It's hard to compare enhancements between different designs. Maybe the design that was pictured on Reddit is accurate, maybe they didn't want to do the same thing all over again, and just add the dual date and privy. It just looks pretty BLAH to me if that's what they end up producing and I'll be really glad to keep my subscription to 1. Not what I would expect at all. |

I partially agree with this but at the same time we have the 2014 and 2017 Kennedy halves that are enhanced in completely different ways We also have the 2017 Native America dollar that is completely different from the 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2019 versions. I think they just enhance what ever they want, it not a format based as the Proof and Reverse Proof coins, which are consistent in their format Edited by Boba Debt

Boba Stated, " I think they just enhance what ever they want, it not a format based as the Proof and Reverse Proof coins, which are consistent in their format " It is a Very strong sentiment I believe Also. One Could say some of the " Enhanced Uncirculated " finishes of days gone bye look like Enhanced Proofs, The way they use the Enhancements. Who knew this year would lean heavily upon the Historically Lowest minted version of U S Coinages, The Uncirculated.  2026 -The year of The 250Th Anniversary of America, With The Uncirculated versions leading the Honors,  |

The Sac dollars I am working on, the Kennedy halfs I probably won't get. I did have that set but ended up selling for "you know what". As far as my passion, the ASEs, again it's just putting different finishes in different places, with the exception that they had the feet and sandals more intricately enhanced on one version. As I've stated, and seems to be in disagreement, the key word is enhanced, if it's ERP or EU doesn't matter as much, it's just a matter of stating which field it has, either Uncirculated field or the reverse proof type field. They've never done an enhanced with a proof field that in aware of, but an Enhanced Proof sounds like a pretty coolv version they could make some day. Edited by Gilly

If you don't already have it, you should think about getting the 2017 S Enhanced Uncirculated Set It's very interesting in a subtle way and it's not that expensive, here is a listing for the entire 10 coin set for $30 https://www.ebay.com/itm/2061067633...set&LH_BIN=1 |

Saw this picture posted on Reddit, guess someone from the U.S. Mint working on them took a picture. Looks like the images on the website, nothing like the 2013 enhanced uncirculated. I don't believe this because there isn't any enhancement on that coin. I have said MANY times in multiple topics that the web site picture format lines up with the 2017 S Uncirculated Mint Set The fine details such as the numbers and letters appear to be polished. This picture is a composite of the US Mints 2022 Uncirculated ASE and 2026 Enh UC ASEThese 2 images are not the same  Edited by Boba Debt

This ebay seller is using this image to presale his ASEs https://www.ebay.com/itm/3977138270...gle&LH_BIN=1It looks like a Proof coin with a hazy field The field looks like the same finish as the 2013 ASE but the portrait is just frosted instead of a combination of frost and polished surfaces This is not very exciting but it is a new way of doing it  Edited by Boba Debt

Sorry Boba,
I just saw the question you asked,
" I don't follow circulation numbers much, which UC coins have low mintage numbers? "
I found Historically the Uncirculated versions of Most Any classic American Coinage, Commemoratives included, Usually has the Lowest mintage numbers, .......

Would the 2011S Uncirculated be a contender at under 100,000?

Looks like the only S is the rarest, next would be 2017/18/19 where the production was just over 100k each of those years.
