Dearborn Moderator United States 95200 Posts	Posted 06/06/2021 8:44 pm I just won an ebay auction I'll be getting the 2008-W Burnished Silver American Eagle with 2007 Reverse die design Variety. Graded as SP69 by ANACS When I get it, I'll probably send it in to PCGS to re-holder and see if it can be up-graded. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95200 Posts	Posted 06/07/2021 09:24 am Quote: Hope you don't mind me asking but what's the difference between the two? Well the 2008-W Burnished ASE had a few (about 41,000 coins) inadvertently minted with the wrong reverse die. they used the one from 2007 instead of a new design from 2008. A coin graded from PCGS at PR70 can bring on more than $3,000.00. Mine is graded at PF 69 (SP by Anacs) which brings in a value of about $700 to $800. here is a photo of the difference.

44dovers New Member 24 Posts	Posted 06/07/2021 10:56 am Well you learn something new everyday. You wouldn't expect West Point to do something like this, but they are pretty small differences. Most "Reverse of XX" varieties are practically impossible to see with the naked eye. Report this Post to the Staff

Foxwoods Man Pillar of the Community United States 4901 Posts	Posted 06/08/2021 07:15 am Ahhhh...this brings back memories. I fondly remember getting two orders of 5 each of the 2008 W's early on and found 8 of the ten with the 2007 reverse. Off to NGC they went and 5 came back 70's... Still have two 70's and 2 69's Resold at a decent profit a bunch of 69's that I bought before the major price rise graded for around $130-$160 each Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95200 Posts	Posted 06/08/2021 2:43 pm Thanks Muddler and Foxwoods. Quote: One of three silver eagles I do not have in my collection I'm guessing that the 1995 W Proof would be one of the 3, but what is the 3rd? Foxwoods, I'll be visiting your ebay store for Burnished ASE's you will see my 'handle' cross your desk. On ebay I use 'w_dearborn' (clever of me, huh?) Collecting since 1972.

Big-Kingdom Pillar of the Community United States 1667 Posts	Posted 06/10/2021 08:00 am So. Did this variety come in the single version sold by the mint or in the uncirculated dollar set sold by the mint in 2008? It's my understanding it came in the dollar set, but I haven't come across one in either format to verify that information. The dollar set was 1 2008 W Burnished silver eagle and 5 dollar coins.
