MrPink, I Fully understand where your at, You have an Awesome Accomplishment that is Quite remarkable, Nice American Silver Eagles Collection, ...

You make a good point.

Hello All,

ASE Collectors, This Will be Long, ....

I see a Differing # of American Silver Eagle Collectors have a Differing Amount of Actual Mint Marked Versions they collect to Their liking.

My concern is The question was asked, " what is a Complete ASE set,"

First one has to realize a ASE Collector has what They choose to have in their collection, Some choose just a Bullion ASE set , Others might collect them All, Both Bullion and All Mint Marked versions. I collected Probably More multiples than Most, I LOVE this Series....

I started collecting the ASE Bullion, Bought an Album and Only stayed focused to 1986- 2006....

That said I am listing what I have in My All Original Packaged ASE Hoard, Not to mention Every Set Released.....( multiples abound )

I have counted 76 ASE'S Mint Marked examples.These are NOT counting any sets that have the same ASE's in it.

All the Bullion examples equate to 40 examples...

76+40 =116 together.

The Topic of what is a complete ASE set is Up to the collector....... Hope some find this Helps.....

My pleasure Capt,

I am reviewing the Full Listed Series and see Numbers are Differing among those that collect. Just me being me...

Hope John( Dearborn ) , The ASE Extraordinaire chimes in Too.....

I recently decided to collect ASEs along with Morgan and Peace dollars

I'm not a completest, I mostly would like to try to get one of each ASE type


But ASEs are super confusing, I have read multiple topics and internet articles and it all still seems "squishy "

So I started with a clean 1986 as my first purchase and then I created this shopping list, I may or may not get all of these




While reading this topic I stumbled across this post





THANKS, this was an amazing help to my understanding of ASEs

While I appreciate the work you put into this list it doesn't work for my brain

So I have taken your info and translated it into a format I understand

I hope you are not offended by this and if possible can you help me make sure it is correct and that I understood your chart









I also have some questions

Why do ebay sellers list XXXX-W as Burnished or Uncirculated?

What does WS stand for?

How is there an Uncirculated and Burnished ASE for 2008?

If a Bullion coin does not have a mint mark how you you know which mint it is from?





If anyone has any info to help me better organize my list please feel free to post it

Thanks for the info Gilly



I decided to collect these I wanted to stick with West Point ASEs as much as I could

As I review the list, I see that the first West Point Proof was in the 1995 10th Year Anniversary Set , I'll probably skip this one for now


I see there was a West Point Proof in the 2006 20th Year Anniversary Set, this seems like a reasonable example for a Proof ASE


Although 2008 is the accepted first occurrence of the Burnished ASE I will probably get the 2011 version since it was in the 25th Year Anniversary Set

The 2013 75th Anniversary of West Point Set satisfies the first W Reverse Proof and only W Enhanced Uncirculated (Burnished) ASE so far

2019 for the first Enhanced Reverse Proof

Does that sound about right?

I might just go 2013 for the Burnished, Proof, Reverse Proof and Enhanced Uncirculated ASEs
