Question About How To Collect American Silver Eagles

For an album you could buy a blank Dansco binder such as this one listed http://www.brooklyngallery.com/cgi-...0093-DA100.2

Pages to go in the binder http://www.brooklyngallery.com/cgi-...y=0093-DA109

There is a member here who used a label printer to put the date and mint mark below the opening on his personalized set.

***Buying a 2011 25th Anniversary set will get you every example needed for that year

Hope this info is helpful. -MV

Thank you for all the information, folks:) The breakdown of mint mark/type of coin minted by date will be very useful to me. I also like the idea of printing my own labels for use on the blank slots of a Dansco album.

I'm also putting together a similar collection of NGC PF69 ASE's...will ask other questions on that after I know what I'm doing on the MS69's :-)

Thank you Foxwoods Man. When I read MeadowViewCollector's post I didn't see the 2006-W mentioned (though I did see his statement at the bottom about "Buying a 2011 25th Anniversary set will get you every example needed for that year")...which did cover the rest of my question.

Since I'm still so new I guess I don't understand why everywhere that I've read (so far) about how many coins are in a complete mint state SAE set the number is 29...? So is the number really 33 then, or something else? I just don't want to miss any coins.

Regarding a complete Proof set, the number always mentioned is 28 coins (I presume because there was no proof coin in 2009). However, in trying to put together a complete proof set (mint and date), I see additional proof coins in the 2006 20th Anniversary set, the 2011 25th Anniversary set, and the 2013 2 Coin set that I would think should be included also (including reverse proofs and the 2013 Enhanced proof).

Any help would be appreciated since I obviously am a novice, and would very much like to put together COMPLETE sets of every SAE coin ever produced. I'm doing NGC MS and NGC PF 69's for now...the 70's seem to be very expensive.

Thanks!

Hey folks. I have a more general question about condition/quality of manufacture. I just bought a 2009 bullion ASE through ebay to fill a hole in the album I just bought. I was surprised, because the coin I received had a small reed mark on the gown. It's a light hit, but if these coins come directly from Mint sealed tubes, how can they receive Reed Marks? I thought Reed Marks only happen when coins are jostled within big storage bags or when each struck coin falls off the conveyor belt and hits the pile of coins lying below.I didn't realize that ASE's are subject to this kind of shoddy handling (I thought only base metal, high production coins get that treatment). Is that really how ASE's are manufactured and treated, too? I'm sure this is a stupid/ignorant question, but thanks for enlightening me (a novice collector).

Thanks again Foxwoods Man, then it appears I have every modern SAE coin in MS69 and PF69 except the "2008-W Reverse of 2007" and the 1995-W.

It may take awhile to save enough to get the 95-W, and the 2008-W Reverse of 2007 isn't cheap either at around $500-$600, but hopefully I can get that one soon.

Is there an "official" source anywhere to actually see a list of every possible date/mint mark/special issue/error coin variation that is in a set of coins ( Morgan silver dollars for example, but others as well)?
