"To buy or not to buy? That is the question!" Sorry for the dramatics. Here's the Pop report (the program will not let me space the number directly beneath each category):
As you can see, even PCGS has the MS-70s at only $80 and there are almost seventy thousand of them out there. Another thing, we don't know, right now, how many millions, that's right, millions were minted last year. Since starting the Silver eagle program in 1986, January of 2010 is the highest month in sales of the uncirculated Silver eagles. By January 22nd, the U.S. Mint had sold over three million 2010 Uncirculated Silver Eagles. Even the Proof Eagle has the second highest mintage of any Proof Eagle issued.
Would I pay those prices, no. I'd wait to see where they level out. I think I only paid $25 for my 2010 ASEs. The Proofs were $44.
Remember to buy the coin, not the holder. It probably cost him at least 25 bucks to get that graded. He's adding that to the price of bullion.
If you want the MS-70 one for your little girl, I completely understand. I Still think it's too high but if you want the best and want to continue the MS-70 set for her, try haggling. also remember that if you decide to go back and get all the past MS-70 Eagle, it'll be expensive.
