That’s why I buy the uncirculated Silver Eagles. I also like to see the low mintage.

It just depends on collecor intrest and a lot of people were upset by the way the Mint handled the Coin and Currency Set issue!

To all, In case you missed my other post:
I just got a letter from the Department Of The Treasury updating the Status of the 2012 Spouse Program and Apologizing for the Delay. Once Problems are Resolved both the Proof and the Uncirculated coins will be Struck at the West Point “W” Mint. They have not Yet announced the On-Sales-Dates. The Letter was Dated September 18, 2012.

Also, NGC is adding the Spouse Program to their New Retro Holders:
Due to popular demand, the previously announced NGC Retro Holder program is now expanding to include additional coin types. Reminiscent of the original NGC holder used in 1987, the NGC Retro Holder features a sleek, black core… Coins eligible for the NGC Retro Holder:

•First Spouse Gold ─ NEW!
•Half Ounce $25 Gold Eagles ─ NEW!
•Half Ounce $50 Platinum Eagles ─ NEW!
•Silver Eagles
•Presidential Dollars
•Sacagawea Dollars

FYI

Joe – Why do you care? Did you think you were getting a low mintage coin when you bought yours? Personally I don’t know why anybody would buy uncirculated coins anymore. They’re flat versions of the proof coins which are for the most part much more attractive and shinier. The difference in cost is almost negligible at $9 for the SAE. I suppose if you’re investing in silver the difference matters but then why aren’t you buying from a dealer with an even lower markup?

How much longer is the U.S. Mint going to sell the 2011 W Uncirculated Silver Eagle? It’s almost 2013, for crying out loud!

The mintage will end
up less than half and it only costs $15 more than the regular proof after deducting the $5 bill.
