Poll Question
Now that it's certain about the Proof Eagles being offered this year of 2010, lets hear some thoughts about the comparisons, ideas, values, etc. etc., to the 2008 Eagle. This is the first time in the ASE program, starting in 1986, that this series has been "interrupted", and so, let's just see what everyone thinks with all things related to the Proof ASE's. Other than, but including the poll questions, please pontificate all theories associated with these Proofs !Here's what we know from '08......2008 Silver Eagle MintagesBullion Mintage: 20,583,000
Proof Mintage: 700,979
Uncirculated (Burnished) Mintage: 535,598*
*includes coins from the Annual Uncirculated Dollar Set2010 Silver Eagle Mintages:???

Unless mint employees are given full rein to sneeze at will on all the proof coins, it'll always be the mintage. It's just my humble opinion, but if there was ever a coin that the mint had close to perfection, the Proof ASE has to be the one! Just try to imagine what a Proof ATB dollar would have looked like if they would have changed their minds and put the National Parks on the ASE blanks instead of quarters. Those coins would have sold like hot cakes! I know, "if wishes were horses, beggars would ride". Hey I can dream, can't I?  Edited by carmykle

I am not surprised that "This will depend on final mintage numbers of the 2010" is winning the poll. Since this is the factor that will determine which of the other choices will be correct.  Removing that as an option, I would say "The 2010 will be the more valuable of the two" because I do not see the mint being able to exceed the 2008 output. This is, as always, just an opinion. I have learned to never underestimate the mint when there is profit to be made.  |

I think the leading factor will be "mintage numbers" too.....  |

Pontification at the ready, the Mint messed up its collector base by not issuing a 2009 proof Silver American Eagle. The 2010 will only have value, above normal, if they choose to mint it short. Those who collected for an uninterrupted set are already disappointed with the Mint and will stop with 2008.
2010 being the Silver Anniversary of the Silver Eagle, in my opinion, is a major missed opportunity,(by the Mint), for all forms of the SAE.
As for me I'll keep up my roll issued collections by adding each year, and as for the proofs...unless they add a new mint for SAE production I'll stick with my S, P, and W collection as complete!

Everyone who collects the ASE series will need this issue because of one thing-that big-ol hole in the binder. It is the last of a long proof run. To make the binder complete, you MUST have the 2008 PF ASE. The 2010 will begin a new series, and trust this, everyone is gonna get a 2010, and it will maybe have it's very own NEW book. The low mintage on the end of a series spells high dollars, IMHO. Even if it is only ten or twenty dollars. One thing for sure, the entire series of ASE is going to be the most desired series ever. More than even the Morgans. The ASE sells worldwide. Big time. Thats why I intend to eventually buy one or two. |

legend.....Quote:One thing for sure, the entire series of ASE is going to be the most desired series ever. More than even the Morgans. The 2010 will begin a new series You think that the 2010 ASE will "begin a new series" ? ...  Based on just skipping one year ..... hmmmm I can't see that.....would you explain what you mean exactly. That is an interesting thought about the comparison between the future of these as a collectibility factor, and Morgan silver dollars. WOW ! Wouldn't that be something ! ...  I wish I had all versions of the ASE since 1986 !.....

Quote:You think that the 2010 ASE will "begin a new series" ? ... Based on just skipping one year ..... hmmmm I suppose that the 1932 Washington quarter is a different series from the 1934~1998 run because they skipped 1933. There were no 1922, 1932, and 1933 Buffalo nickels or Mercury dimes, so that means there are three different series for each? |
