I'm thinking $30 - $40 for an offer.
If it were me, I would not make an offer that low. $60 would be a reasonable offer but you could bid on some pieces and get one for around $60 too. Does the MS70 make a big difference to you? If not then get an MS69 for $25. |

Grade MS-69 or MS-70 is not big difference at all. As one poster already stated there's nothing rare about these coins. They're bullion issue, and there were roughly 30.4 million produced last year.

Why does the US Mint's website continue to say that 2009 Eagles will not be minted? Are they referring to Westpoint?
If so, then are the other Eagles not considered "uncirculated"?

Red Book has Burnished 09 Silver Eagle at $28. I was also wondering about the coin itself, I was under the impression the Mint didn't strick 09 Silver Eagles?
Now, I'm really confused. Weren't the burnished ones from Westpoint? Quote:
Prices range from $87.50 to $1450.00. The $1450.00 one, happens to be slabbed by PCGS, and has POTUS's picture on the label. This is for a lot of 10, so still $145. each. Ouch! |

Oh, and one more thing, I can't personally tell the difference between a 69 & 70. I thought the 70 had to be flawless, but apparently even contact or bag marks are allowed. I even have a 70 with Machine Doubling (huh?). So, for my money, it's 69's. They're a fraction of the cost and look just as good. |

Only bullion Silver Eagles were struck in 2009. The Red Book you're quoting was likely printed over a year ago and included the price assuming burnished ASE would be struck - they were not. |

Being new to collecting, I purchased a 2009 MS70/NGC for $95. I know now that was way to much to pay. Live and learn. Is the MS70 worth the money compaired to MS69. It's all in what you want, personally.

At any rate, this seller is sticking to his guns on $115.00. I told him have a nice day. When he gets more realistic on price he has my email.

My opinion is that I like the one I got for $20.60 uncertified. But if you go for a certified one, just get the MS-69. I really think that the TPGs are taking this MS-70 thing too far and trying to keep their business model going.

I really think that the TPGs are taking this MS-70 thing too far and trying to keep their business model going. Actually, I think it has to do with these clowns with their MS-70 ASE's from last year think thats close enough to a proof, which the mint didn't make, so they believe their MS-70's are worth the price. I don't see the value of the coin from a year ago. $50 - $60 maybe, but certainly nothing more. My offer was $50. He droned on about first strikes are going for more than he's asking and I reminded him his coin is not proof and not a first strike either. |

Not for nothing, but the 2007 ASE in MS-70 I can get one for $47.00. |

"Strike Quality" can be had throughout the year.......or with each time they change the dies.....so that has never been something of value to me..... but it sure is pushed by sellers,(i.e. HSN folk and dozens of other "coin pushers") |
