Looking For More Info 2015 And 2016 ASE

now , more on the P D and S.
While the U.S. Mint reaffirmed May 25 that the mintages released for 2015 American Eagle silver bullion coin production at the Philadelphia Mint
and West Point Mint were correct, officials acknowledge there are discrepancies concerning the numbers appearing on the outside of the boxes.

The coins are intended to be identical, no matter which facility struck them, so identifying them absent some other supporting documentation
should be impossible. However, the information released by the Mint about the tracking numbers on their initial packaging has been used by
grading services in identifying the coins and by dealers in marketing them.

Ha, prices continue to fall, one sold for $275. There were like $599 at the beginning. That is still too expensive for a $15.50 coin.

Now you have me really confused:




There are no 2015 D or S minted ASE's either "struck at" bullion or actual mintmarked coins

RE: 2015 bullion. This is what was said by the Mint:




So just take off the label on that WP box and you now have a Phily box

i read (and bookmarked) an article someone left a link for in a recent post re: burnished silver eagles. it explains the burnished coins' mintages and mentions that,

"only the 2015 (P), 1995-W, 2011-S and the 2017-S have lower mintages than the 2017 and 2018 Burnished Silver Eagles."

2015 (P)? that's news to me. so I looked it up. found a lot of reading, to include the mint's last word on the matter. (this thread was begun well before I joined the forum.)

i also found a link to a prominent coin dealer (i didn't go looking for more, though) listing- or having once listed- a 2015 (P) bullion silver eagle MS70 PCGS for about $6500.

ehhhhh, that is an expensive label, imho. not something I would entertain purchasing. if I drop that much money on a silver eagle, I will be buying the '95-W proof set. but that's just me.

while I understand the economics of it, and the 'feels', I concur with many of the posters above. I've read several other threads & posts about the TPGs/labels, not to mention what the mint has said about the '15 (P). this seems very tempest-in-a-teacup-ish, and much-ado-about-nothing-ish. I don't consider this ASE a key date and I can't jump onto that bandwagon. even if I had that much money to spend & had every other known silver eagle example I still wouldn't buy it, lol...


(and thanks for a great thread, excellent reading)

I have to agree with your decision.
