Ordered an El Yunque a few weeks ago when they were still available and got a message they are now sold out and my order was cancelled. It had a ship date when I ordered it as well. I was going to try to collect the whole series and the Hawaii one sold out well below stated mintage and now this. They make it difficult when you have to budget for these.

The 2013 Enhanced Eagle Set will be, undisputedly, the most sought after US Eagles ever. This includes the Reverse Eagles. Even looking at the image on a computer screen it is extraordinarily beautiful, and seemingly mocks the colorization of other world coins while retaining ONLY metalwork die numismatic craftsmanship techniques. It looks better than the junk, colorized, gem enhanced wanna-be world coins, without succumbing to the coin fad craze of bedazzling perfectly good designs. Don’t own no stinking owl coin…never will. And I will bet someone out there will sell their COTY Owl coin and use the money to buy this Exquisite set, in multiples.

Don’t know about the set, but the 2013-W uncirculated ASE is to be released May 28.

What happened to the release date of the 2013 Uncirculated sets? I saw it on the mint website about 10 days ago, now it seems to have disappeared?

@Kahoola… the mint is pretty unpredictable right now, but the trend of late has been to pull items surprisingly early. That said even if they do sell another 70,000 of the sets (which I seriously doubt), it will still be a low production Eagle.

Could be mistaken, but the 2008 annual uncirculated dollar set, the last such set, had sales of 98,896. If the 2012 sets make that number there could be a lot of 2012 W eagles yet to come.

I agree annie the price of the 2012-W burnished Silver Eagle will rise when they sell out at the mint.

The US mint is still selling 2012 Making American History coin & currency set with the proof silver eagle from San Francisco. It’s keeping the price of the 2012s American Silver Eagle two-coin proof sets down. The price should go up once the mint takes them off the shelf. The 2012-S proof silver eagle will be the lowest minted proof silver eagle as of now. There will be no more than 324.981 of them.
