I have read a couple post lately asking about Silver Eagles.
I think most of the questions have been answered, but I thought I would post some of mine.
I started buying the proof eagles from the mint in 1986.
Couple years ago I bought a Dansco date album, one for each year.
After the burnished coins started in 2006 I started picking them up.
I tried to order the 1995 set, but it was sold out. I did get the 2006 20th set, the 2011 25th set, the 2012 SF set and the 2013 West point set.
There 29 bullion coins (1986 - 2014)
28 regular proof (1986 - 2008 and 2010 - 2014)
Burnish - 2006,2007, 2008, 2011,2012,2013 and 2014.(7 coins
)
Special sets
1995 10th Anniversary set (I don't have yet,
the 95 set had one silver eagle 1995 W)
2006 20th Anniversary set, (3 coins)
2011 25th Anniversary set, (5 coins)
2012 San Francisco set (2 coins)
and 2013 West Point set. (2 coins)
There is also the 2008 reverse of 2007 burnish
ASE.
If I did not forget or missed any then I have the
total at 78 coins. (Some are duplicate in the special sets)

Early this past summer I started buying bullion
ASE's

Dansco bullion album

Proofs I put in trays

The put the trays in a Lighthouse case


Burnished
ASE's will have a satin type finish. Reverse will have mint mark


Some like to collect the slabbed labels, First strike, early release and First release.

2008 with reverse of 2007. I forgot to put in group pic.

Four of the 5 available special sets

Also trying to add a complete set of gold eagles, need one more.
