What kind of information are you looking for? Value? Mintage?

I'm sorry - I'm looking avg. values on the coins. I'm assuming the value fluctuates depending on the price of silver?

it appears that a lot of them are UNC. Average values around $40 unless you have a 1996 or 2008 rev of 2007.

Consider it mostly bullion at spot price of silver plus $5 or so dollars.
Unless someone really wants a specific date to fill an album, it is mostly just a silver investment, little numismatic value.

Firt of all  You have a good stash of Bullion American Eagles all worth their weight in silver, unless one is dated 1996. It is really the only bullion coin that is worth more. The ASE have four basic surface looks, all on the one ounce size and with the same design. Here are the other three. Proof  Burnished (all with mint mark below to the left of the eagle)  And reverse proof  |

Even that burned or whatever happen to it would sell for more than 34 dollars. Bottom left one in this photo looks like it was cleaned one time. This won't ruin the silver value though. Just collectors  Edited by solotime

Burnished
This word has two distinct meanings in the world of numismatics, so you have to consider the context in order to discern the correct meaning. The word "burnished" can refer to specially prepared planchets (usually 18th century) that were used for specimen coins or other special coins of the era. These planchets were burnished at the Mint prior to the striking of the coin. As a second meaning, "burnished" can refer to any coin that was abrasively cleaned after it left the Mint, and the word is often used as a synonym for "whizzed" (the worst kind of cleaning, where the metal is actually moved around). and Quote:
burnishing
A process by which the surfaces of a planchet or a coin are made to shine through rubbing or polishing. This term is used in two contexts - one positive, one negative. In a positive sense, Proof planchets are burnished before they are struck - a procedure done originally by rubbing wet sand across the surfaces to impart a mirror like finish. In a negative sense, the surfaces on repaired and altered coins sometimes are burnished by various methods. In some instances, a high-speed drill with some type of wire brush attachment is used to achieve this effect. Edited by bpoc1

I always wondered how a coin that does not circulate would be anything other than "Uncirculated" unless maybe for the rare pocket piece Since they are bullion ASE's there will be no reverse of 2007 in there |

I believe what solotime meant was that one of the coins looks like it was burned.
If you number them
1
2 3
4 5
#2 is burned or something similar to it.

If the photo #2, would be out of the flip I believe it would show toning.IMHO.

Funny how everyone says, " unless it is a '96 " . Silver bullion is silver bullion, to me 4.5 million isn't exactly scarce.
How many of you would pay a premium over spot+ for a non stabbed , just because it is a 1996 ? I wouldn't

Most coin mintages arent really scare imo, its all just number of collectors vs number available. Look at the 1909 S VDB, almost 500k minted which is considered high for some series but carries huge premiums because of how many people collect pennies. If your doing a set of the bullion or want one of each date and didnt buy the coin in 1996 you really dont have much of a choice but to pay a premium unless you get lucky Edited by basebal21

Dealers pay spot silver to $2 over for Silver Eagles.

Dealers pay spot silver to $2 over for Silver Eagles. Dealer prices are totally immaterial. You are never going to get value from a dealer, and using what they pay to put a value on a coin is not realistic. Quote:

Your statement of silver bullion is silver bullion shows that. Which is fine, to each his own. Personally, being a collector of ASEs, I would pay over spot for a 96 were it in acceptable shape. That 86 looks circulated. I would like to see it out of that flip in a solo pic to say for sure. Same for the 90. Average of 35-40 provided they are in good shape. Personally, I would not store them in flips. I am not a big fan as they can move around far too much. They get scratched up, there goes any value over spot they may have. |

@WJeeda yes, sorry. I think the person who did that was trying to make it rainbow. I heard stories about this.
