It doesn’t make sense why someone would pay $2,600 for a 2016 silver eagle congratulations set graded coin. I don’t see why the words “congratulations set” on the holder are worth an extra $2,500.00? Obviously, people are not “buying the coin and not the holder” in this case.
I’m a fan of the 2016 ASE Proof and I have a few of them which is more than any other year for me because of the lettered edge. Personally, the fact the coin was in the congrats set wouldn’t have any extra value.

In reply to Robert F Hall. Look for the star beside the coin in Mike Unser's US Mint sales article listing all the coins. That's how you'll know the mint has stopped sales of the coin and the total mintage should remain steady thereafter.

I want to know the mintage of the 2016 Proof Silver Eagle, I know there were 150,000 in the Ronald Reagan Coin and Chronicles set, but what is the total mintage?

PS. The debris seemed to be fluffy white plastic and is probably “flashing” from the plastic capsule. I wonder how many folks will get coins with this same type of debris if it’s like I suspect and from the capsule?

i just got the one 2016 Silver Proof Eagle that I ordered in the mail today. Sure enough, there was debris inside the capsule. I debated on sending it back but since the trash rolled around inside the capsule I just opened it and used canned air to get rid of it.
It almost looks like the incused lettering is not stamped in the center and is running off the edge. You really can’t tell by looking at it in the capsule as the lettering is really hard to see.
I don’t know why they even bothered.

Nels –
I keep a spreadsheet record of my coins. In 2014 (but only 2014) proof silver eagle unit price was $52.95, extended price was $47.65 + $4.95 S&H. 10% discount was applied to all subscriptions proof, unc, one, or many, except coin roll subscriptions that year. I didn’t do anything special to make that happen, it was automatic. IMHO they should be doing this all along as an incentive. In this case the discount ($5.30) covered the S&H, something else I recommend they suspend for subscriptions.

Dale –

It is a very nice act for you to plan to pass down a coin collection to family members for sure. I too will pass my collection down to my four nephews when I am gone.

Happy collecting Dale!
