SW, the public should be allowed to purchase the ASE’s from the US Mint and not just the dealers. These dealers buy them for just a couple of dollars over spot price and then they mark them up to a ridiculous price for maximum profit. After you purchase them from the dealers there is little chance that you will ever make your money back,so it appears that only one person is making a profit from sales and it’s only the dealers. Why is the US Mint supporting only one kind of customer and not everyone. This has the hallmarks of a monopoly and the individual customer is taken advantage of.

You covered all the bases I think except for the Enhanced Uncirculated finish. They came out with those in 2013 as part of a special set.

I'm glad you mentioned the $2.35 premium. I'm always arguing with people who thing the ridiculous premiums currently on ASEs is the Mint's fault. Personally, I think the Mint should charge a little more. Also, I think people should be allowed to buy bullion directly from the mint, maybe a very limited quantity, like a roll. I've purchased only about 8 ASEs since 2020 because I refuse to pay those premiums.

Good primer for collectors !!!

Great job.

Nice job of explaining... thank you.

Hi, Wolv. There are six different finishes on the Silver Eagle. There is the bullion finish, and there are the four different finishes in the 25th Anniversary Set of five coins. The 2011 Mint State Enhanced Finish coin is a one-year example. There is also the newest and sixth finish, the Enhanced Reverse Proof. *TYU*

Nailed it SW 👍

Good job explaining the different grades and finishes!

My question would be, why would I pay the US mint 60-70 bucks when APMEX is selling the 2022 unc, in its box and with CoA for about $45 probably sold out by now

Excellent video!

Ok it took me a while, but APMEX repackages bullion ASE in “official” US mint boxes, then right next to it in the same box is the W minted coin for $100 very deceitful on their part. It looked to me like an un burnished. Thanks for putting out this info. It’s a jungle out there

I have the 2021 t2, signed, first day of issue, d cam. It covers all the bases.

Great video

Thanx for the info. I think too many people confuse the bullion and the mint marked uncirculated ASE. The enhanced reverse proof is the best of the best followed by the enhanced uncirculated. I'd like to see more of them in the upcoming years.

I was thrilled to get the 2023 reverse d cam morgan and peace dollar, proof 70

Awesome! Congrats!

Agreed! Many differences throughout this series. I Love the 2021 T-1’s as best Eagle of all time! Closely followed by the ‘88’s and ‘89’s due to their oftentimes semi-prooflike nature and sometimes fantastic toning!! And the 2006 3 coin proof set(s) are quite nice too. The 2006 three coin gold set is on my bucket list of hopefully one day coins’!

We'd be able to SEE more "detail" (9:20) if the coins were not moving in your hands but rather still on a table top.

Q1 Does the U.S. Mint release mintage numbers? Tens of millions of business strikes seems like a lot. Q2 Does the Mint release an list of the official dealers? I'd like to compare prices from dealer to dealer just for fun. Q3 How many monster boxes are made each year? Does the Mint price a monster box the same way as individual coins? (X amount over spot)

HI Wolvie I like ASE :-))

I've always wondered, if a coin DOES NOT display a mint mark are there any other means of identifying where it was minted?

I believe the straps on the monster box.. So you would need to buy a sealed monster box of 500 coins :)

i have a 5oz 2002 silver eagle replica medal with the initials LB at the bottom left of liberty, i have been trying to find out about these initials, it is a proof coin cheers

Just hit the 100 like 👍

Why is the "U" wrong on the 2021 coin?

Love silver eagles but right now they're over priced it would be different if the US Mint made few of them then I could see them charging more

S.W. that E.R.P. is absolutely my favorite of all the silver eagles. I don't have that 2019 that you have, but it's on my Santa list every year !! 🤣🤣 I must be on the naughty list up at the N. Pole ?? 🤬🤬🤬

The proof coin is unmistakable and could never be confused. However when comparing uncirculated to the burnished coin the difference is also remarkable. Even though they aren't placed on a flat surface, @ 7:22 the eagle depiction on the 2 coins look entirely different. Not only is the 'burnished/matte' coin MUCH more highly detailed, it looks like a completely different eagle altogether, aside from the missing mint mark. For starters, the branch looks far thicker on the minted coin, the wing angle is different and the eagle's head is different. Wth?

The 2013 W special enhanced uncirculated silver eagle, which fits into the burnished category, you forgot to cover.

What about the difference between the U.S. Mint website crashing and some people were able to order the 2019-S enhance proof silver American eagle? After all, back on November 19, 2019 I tried to order the 2019-S but the stupid website crashed because of Ryder’s stupid bots and I wanted to order it wearing my tutu and Mrs. Silver Honda‘s bra, lipstick and her heels for nothing.

The latest Eagle on the reverse of the American Silver Eagle is the ugliest design of an eagle on a US coin or medal. It looks like it hasn't eaten in weeks. They should change it back to the original heraldic eagle. Or a similar majestic eagle like the ones on: The 2017 UHR Liberty reverse eagle, or American Liberty 2016 Silver Medal reverse eagle, or American Palladium Eagle 2023 reverse eagle, or Preamble to the Declaration of Independence Platinum reverse eagle.

Thanks for sharing I hope 🤞 the public can understand that their is a different between business strike and the burnished coin 🪙

GREAT Explanations to this ignorant Viewer!! Perfect!
