US Mint New Listing On Schedule For A 2019 Enhanced Reverse Proof American Silver Eagle

I think COA's 1, 2019 and 30,000 will command a premium. Other than that, they're just numbers between 1 and 30,000.

Yup! You see it all the time with series that have individually numbered COAs. Having said that, I'll be pretty excited if I happen to get one that has a signed or low/unique numbered COA.

I'm curious as to what ya'll think. If this were a regular proof instead of an ERP (same mintage, mint mark) would it be even more appealing? I, personally, think it would which is why I don't see it affecting the prices of the 95-W.

It does without question. If it was a proof for uncirculated it would be in the thousands. It's the same concept of business strike vs proof vs collector finish

From my perspective, it's a combination of factors that are driving the frenzy.

Yes, the low mintage is a major factor, but the coin's uniqueness can't be removed from the equation. The combination of "the only enhanced reverse proof ASE struck in San Francisco in 2019" + a mintage of just 30,000 coins makes for an excited market.

I believe a standard proof 2019 ASE struck in Denver would create a similar frenzy because it would also be a unique release, but 30,000 more standard proof ASEs struck in Philadelphia but inserted into a different package would not.

I don't think you can separate version from mintage when trying to explain why collectors are excited about a release. Would there be all of this excitement if the Mint had announced that the unique S-Mint ERP ASE would be struck to demand? Personally, I don't think so.

I'm curious as to why you feel a Denver minted proof ASE would create the same frenzy but not a Philadelphia one. Same mintage of 30k. Only difference being the mint mark.

It almost certainly would be though, we can see that with the 2015 P mint bullion coins that have more than double the mintage of this one. It is possible this one could take off to the moon and be a 4 figure coin, but it has to surpass the 95-W value in order to say the finish doesn't make a difference.

I like the reverse proofs a lot more than the others, but many of the ASE collectors don't necessarily feel the need to add these special ones. I don't see this being less than a few hundred dollars though.




Agreed. Mint to demand is the kiss of death for excitement.




I have to disagree here. A P one would create a similar frenzy given the low mintage, that said a Denver one would create a much much bigger frenzy as it would be the first and only D one.

Totally forgot about the ASE-S that was already released this year so yes I'll agree with your point as well.

Was basically just trying to gauge whether this coin will steal any thunder away from the 95-W now that there'll be a new low mintage ASE(albeit not by much). Even though it's an ERP instead of a regular proof.
