Big deal! 251,302 sets will be minted with them already on e-bay for a price of $182.45. Bet they won’t fly off the shelf as the lack of interest with no limits on purchases and the opportunity to buy them for 30 days indicates. Just another bogus move by the mint. Any whiners out there complaining they sold out and they couldn’t get one? Nope! They will prove to be not even worth their weight in the price of two ounces of silver.

Jeje with Ross… Good for you!

I am happy with my one.

There are lots of neat details for these coins. Not just the rev proof, but also a first proof silver eagle bearing the “S” mark.

There are already some at ebay for $182.45 with 2 bids, thats 20% increase right there (without shipping and fees of course…).

I doubt the final mintage will be over 370k. So, right now they should be 5th and 6th lowest mintages for the silver eagles.

Sorting silver american eagle mintages:

1995-W, Proof – 30,125
2011-S, Uncirc – 100,00
2011-P, Rev Proof – 100,00
2006-P, Rev Proof – 248,875

2012-S, Proof – +250,738
2012-S, Rev Proof – +250,738

1994, Proof – 372,168

I am kind of becoming a fan of the San Francisco mint. Just got a bag of the 2012-S “El Yunque” uncirculated coins and I am impressed. In my opinion the coins have a proof-like finish. You can also appreciate the coin details better than with the P or D.
