ok, I gotta say you guys keep me running to my coin box all the time. I spent 10 minutes looking for the differences in the reverse of the 2008 and 2007, but I did find one difference. It's amazing, I'm really starting to enjoy this!!

So would you say the burnished 2006 w is a rarity? I bought the individual coin and then they released the 20Th anniversary set so I had to get that one too. Now I have two proof and two burnished for 2006. I should have bought more anniversary sets!

if you want to see the difference between the 2008 and the 2008 with 2007 Reverse here is some good pictures and description of them http://silvereagleguide.com/2008-w-...rse-of-2007/Quote:
I bought the individual coin and then they released the 20Th anniversary set I thought it was the other way around. I remember buying the 20th anniversary sets and then them releasing one of the coins in the set which if they hadn't of released it individually there would have been two special coins in the set and remember saying "Oh well, they just killed the premium I thought these 20 sets I ordered was going to have" so I am almost positive the 20th anniversary set came out before they sold the burnished ASE individually |

I don't think it's a rarity and I'd like to afford more proofs but hey, I'll keep trying to get decent deals and hope for some appreciation. It's funny I've got about 1400.00$ in rolled coins in my sons "college can", he keeps bugging me to start going through them, but I'll be dead before we finish. And I told him I had to learn a lot more about coins before I waste my time.

The SAE issues fall into 3 general categories, bullion, proof and uncirculated.
There are only 3 on the burnished uncirculated planchet, 06,07, & 08, also known as the W Uncirculated, because they each carry the W mm. The 06 is a little more sought after due to slightly less mintage, but keep all 3. These 3 are all uncirculated versions but were minted at West Point, thus carry the W mm. In 2006 there were 3 planchets used: the normal planchet for bullion SAEs, the uncirculated (burnished) and then the proof.
In 2000 a SAE was minted at West Point, but does not carry the W mm. The only way to get this one was in the 2000 Millennium Set. Only 75,000 sets were minted. It carries a slight premium.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the American Silver Eagle program in 2006, the Mint issued a special "Reverse Proof Silver Eagle" coin minted at Philadelphia. This coin was available as part of the 3-coin set which also included the regular proof coin and the new "Burnished Uncirculated" coin.
Google Silver American Eagle and read and read.

Are all 2008 W Unc, Burnished. I have a MS-70 2008 W that looks burnished to me. But NGC didn't add it to the title. Do NGC, PCGS, use Burnished on labels. I always see people selling Burnished coins but nothing on the label distinguishes it.

Yes. You can confirm by finding the W mm on the reverse. I am not familiar with TPG labeling policy but would suppose they would if paid to. The fact it states 2008 W is MS indicates it is the burnished. I have several of each 69 and 70 none of which have the Burnished title on the labels but all are W mm. |

The 2009 ASE Proof is a bear to find.   |

That was really disappointing, they so many millions of 2009 bullion ASE's but couldn't make the collector their proofs. |

Thanks Southsav, I wasn't sure if they produced 2008 W Unc, & 2008 W Unc Burnished, So the people selling the 2008W Unc are burnished. Good Deal, I'll have to send NGC an email. I see a ton of sellers selling Burnished yet theirs no mention of it on the label. I think it would be worth the extra $10-15 to have it marked on label. Then again it does say it with the W mm, Sorry dont mean to talk in circles here. I got it now lol.

No problem at all Amassey! I think it was the beauty of the silver eagles that got me back into coin collecting. Then I got hooked on Morgans, Qtr Eagle $2 1/2 golds, now Franklin halves and interest in the rest of US coin mintage. Let us know what NGC tells you. |

Whats the smartest way to buy the burnished AE? Certtified or mint issued? Or does it matter.
