Release of 2021-W Proof American Silver Eagle with Classic ‘Heraldic Eagle’ Design

210

Eagerly anticipated by many collectors, the United States Mint at noon EST will release the 2021-W Proof American Silver Eagle carrying the original ‘Heraldic Eagle’ reverse design. This annual staple marks the 35th year since its inaugural debut in 1986.

2020-W Proof American Silver Eagle, Presentation Case and Cert
This CoinNews photo shows last year’s 2020-W Proof American Silver Eagle, its blue velvet, satin-lined presentation case, packaging and certificate of authenticity. The coin released today looks the same, aside from its 2021 date, and has the same style packaging, case and cert.

Aside from its long history and precious metal content, the new coin should be a hit with collectors since it also marks the last proof pairings of the original designs. Later this year, the U.S. Mint will introduce new Silver Eagles showcasing a different reverse.

Demand for the American Silver Eagle has always been high — especially those in proof with their frosted designs and mirror-like backgrounds. They are one of the most sought collectibles coins. That demand has waned a bit in recent years, however. Last year’s issue sold 205,389 coins in seven days, for one of the slowest starts in the series.

Product Limit

We will have to wait and see if demand will continue to falter or if it will reverse course owing to the program’s imminent design change.

Of note, the U.S. Mint has indicated a limit of 327,440 for this product. The coin is also available, however, in the 2021 Congratulations Set which also launches today and does not have a stated limit.

2021-W Proof American Silver Eagle Designs and Specifications

Appearing on the obverse of each 2021-W Proof Silver Eagle is the classic Adolph A. Weinman Walking Liberty design which first appeared on 1916-1947 half dollars. This design will remain on future editions. Obverse inscriptions include LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST and 2021.

The coin’s reverse depicts a heraldic eagle with shield as designed by John M. Mercanti. Future Silver Eagles will carry a different eagle depiction. The eagle’s beak holds a banner reading E PLURIBUS UNUM.

Additional reverse inscriptions include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 1 OZ. FINE SILVER and the face value of ONE DOLLAR. A ‘W’ mintmark indicates its production at the U.S. Mint’s facility in West Point.

Decided to get one because it is the last of this design.

Bob Schmitz

are they gone already in about 20 minutes?

Rooster

With a 99 coin limit who knows. Did the big boys jump on this with friends, relatives, and employees?

Jake

Oh yeah

John

Sure did , now we’ll have pay double for them

Richard Margolis

Mike M claims that he got pre-release date delivery of the ASE proof coins. Who knows how many coins he and his friends got prior to the 11th. It is no wonder they sold out, half were gone before release to the public

Richard L. Reed

I wanted to get ONE but the time I got my CC out they were gone 12:20.

Jake

You need an account.

Bruce Tyler

I have an account and was on the site @ noon on the 11, They were all gone within 5 minutes. There was no limit on purchases so all it took was for one big house to buy them all. On the following two release dates, I got the alert and was on the site within two minutes with coins in my checkout but again they were all gone within 2-3 minutes! The mint is absolutely not concerned with collectors buying them!

Jake

It’s ok you could have had one yesterday hahaha

frank

i called 12:03 and ordering was stopped. whats going on?

Jake

Nice!

gary

all i got was the proof i tried to get the congrats set but got the remind me button instead

Jake

The world needs ditch diggers too, you probably got those same retirement account savings messages. Thank the lord I have Bitcoins! and gold coin and palladium coin and silver coin and copper coin and wall street muppets. Diversity ain’t so bad.

Papahobo

Really? Sold out in less than a minute? Come on now…

Jake

Soon to be sold out yesterday haha what a muppet

Ross

Sold out in 8 mins ?

Kevin H

Yes, it went to ‘Remind Me’ status at about 8 mins. More may become available, cancellations etc. Alot of enrollments, they wouldn’t even let you add to that the last few weeks. They also haven’t listed a mintage limit. There’s always a possibility they mint more. I hope not though should have mine from enrollment.

Kevin H

The “absence of any pre-determined mintage figure” does imply open-ended though not unlimited. That’s what concerns me. Last year they posted a limit on the ‘S’ mint ASE and they still sold above that.

Jake

Thought out, not. Our mint can mint any amount they want. You cant mint anymore bitcoin. Diversify! And hold your nest eggs digitally and physically, the only one cracking or to be eaten by their young is the federal reserve.

Jake

What is the best wording possible?

Jake

They are not cancels or back orders they are soon to be my finger loved doubles!!

Jake

The mint is a failure along with wall street I COLLECT because there is history in these coins including bitcoin. Imaging trading your nickels into dollars, math only wall street muppets could dream of. DO THE MATH and get your account set up.

Earl

I enrolled the first day one could enroll. My enrollments link shows all my enrollments in the future. Helps a lot to enroll very early and I like the free shipping. Received my 2021 W Heraldic Eagle one-ounce silver proof coin today – Mar 4. This action did not work for the V75 issue though.

Kevin H

Glad you got yours. Mine are still MIA somewhere?? The V75 ASE wasn’t part of the enrollment program.

Jake

No it sold out over time wake up and do the MATH! I got one of each.

jwp

Create an account with the mint and then sign up for the coins that have an enrollment option. This is how I got this ASE. It works pretty good.

Richard Margolis

Have they shipped your coin? My enrollment coin is still processing

Chas. Barber

No I pass on that the Mint no longer cares about it’s BASE just Mezak, AMPEX & the in the know, us suckers try & try, the site crashes, CU we bytch, the mont lists them @ 3am est…..some joker working for Mezak snags the last 99 posted @ 4:30 am…..profiteering BS

Rooster

“Remind me” status. Seems early for this coin.

Papahobo

Only needed 3,000 buyers with 99 per household. They should have started a lot lower! They need to replace the whole management team at the mint!

Rooster

Absolutely.

Jake

Absolute.

Kevin H

I’ve knocked the USM for fiascoes with a number of releases last year, but this one could be anticipated because of the dual reverses this year, and unlike the special releases this one had an enrollment available. There are thousands that have enrollments for this item. They may be some available from cancellations and they may also mint more (though I hope not) since no mintage limit was announced. Unlike previous years I don’t think this one will be in the Limited Edition Silver Proof Set though, I think that will be the type II reverse.

Kevin H

I can’t emphasize enough that mintage limit is the total number of an item minted. Product limit limit is the limit for that particular product (packaging option) drinking from the same well of the mintage limit. The product will be a part of the mintage limit. I’ve never said a mintage should be “unlimited” just that there was no mintage limit number indicated. The number of ASE in Congratulations sets and usually Limited Edition Silver Proof Sets are a part of the total mintage limit along with the individual ASE.

Chas. Barber

I can’t emphasize that I no longer give a rat’s arse about mint issues—> Wait for the Peace/Morgan $1 lube it up baby cause you’re WE’RE gonna get scphinkered

Jake

I would take all your nickels and put them into bitcoin and cash out big. The mint and the federal reserve and wall street are the source of your missery not collectors like me!

Chas. Barber

Etherium I got @ $200…. a few I don’t trust them either bud

Jake

When you emphasize are you doing the math?

Jake

When you emphasize, are you doing the math?

Jake

The only mintage limit you need is in bitcoin

Jake

Do the math!

Jake

It’s only anticipated because subscribers are real collectors.

Jake

Will you stop with your synonyms. Do the math and subscribe to the mint for their failure.

Chas. Barber

Fuck yes the MF @ the mint proudly licking AMPEX & Mezak’s nuts since 2010

Jake

How is this comment approved but mine about the federal reserve and the mint and the wall street muppets is awaiting approval?

Jake

Maybe we should go back to Facebook jail. Nope back to work and bitcoin! END THE FED it’s our civic duty!

Chas. Barber

I used to work @ the MINT!

Jake

Those guys collect junk and sell sell sell

Steve

Pinehurst only has about 100 different labels to choose from. They probably got 5,000 eagles and I couldn’t get one.

Jake

If you put all your nickels and held onto it in bitcoins or satoshis look at HOW MANY DECIMALS ARE IN BITCOIN! DO THE MATH THE FED DOESNT!

Roxie60

Sold out of the 2021 proof and Congratulations set in 10 minutes, really?

Roxie60

How can the Congratulations set be sold out, thought it had no set limit? Curious

Roxie60

Technically I guess they are not sold out, just unavailable for now (Remind Me). But that was weirdly quick. I picked up the Proof.

Jake

I like you roxie! Thanks for your comment!

Roxie60

Thx for the reply Kaiser! I don’t buy often from the mint but still it will be interesting to see where the mintage lands for this coin once all sales final and I expect an overpriced 2021 silver eagle set towards the end of the year….

Neat to see your handle also, brought back good memories of my first German Shepard pup I named Kaiser. Have a good day.

Chas. Barber

I waa think Kaiser Susay…..the mint sell out by the Usual Suspect$

Jake

END THE FED. Put your money into bitcoin and then collect.

Rooster

Do you recommend any other crypto other than BTC?

Jake

Rooster I like you too! The market has ups and downs, weak hands fold and strong hands hold. Muppets say sell sell sell. Dont think like a muppet and diversify! I have honestly only profited on litecoin and bitcoin and wall street muppets who are dead silent, hmmm some people. Ok budget! Lol IF I were to sell, no! Nein! I’m it long term. I foresee something bad this presidency but I got no math on those wizards. If you have any coins, you have bitcoin and you you’re accounting for the future # said no one at the FED.… Read more »

Rooster

I am fairly diversified in crypto owning about 15 of them. They can be a rollercoaster but it is a fun ride.

Chas. Barber

You have no profit until YOU $ell o/w just a digitial hiccup, ready to be swiped by a bot or theif with hacking skills, digital wallets get robbed sometimes! Buy physical bullion

Jake

You are a freethinker. No, you have good day! I’m working! And buying and collecting lol

Jake

Or coin news with 99 problems lol I’m a collector of USMINT and bitcoin and purveyor of the muppets.

Kevin H

Kaiser W – you couldn’t be more right about this. This release has been hyped for months by Mike M as being of great demand and limited availability and yet the USM all but handed him thousands of these. If the mint really wanted to build interest in the hobby and attract new young collectors for the future they would find a way to make this releases more available to non bots and the big guys.

John Moore

Don’t forget the enrollments. The mint put a sold out sign on them a few weeks ago.
They also wouldn’t let you increase your quantity. Looks like the big boys took most of the quantity today.

Roxie60

I forgot about the enrollments being cut off, have they ever done that with silver eagle enrollments before?

Kevin H

I don’t think so, I was lucky and had added one more to my enrollment just a couple days before they locked it off. That was the sign to me that these would go quickly today. I signed on today just to check, I thought they would last a little longer, but I’m sure with the 99 HHL the dealers scooped them up.

Roxie60

I’m feeling blessed to have got the proof version. I really didn’t think they would become unavailable so fast but I forgot about the enrollment cutoff. I haven’t been able to collect the proof versions but I wanted it for my collection since I’m not convinced I like the new design and may just stop collecting the eagles after this year….I’m not getting any younger…lol

Kevin H

Yes, I was glad I had this one on an enrollment. I hope I have luck with the next ones as well. I somehow managed to get one of the 75th Anniversary of WWII ones, that was my feeling blessed lol.

Jake

Good for you!

Jake

We shall not want except for bitcoin and now at least one of everything this year from my mint, we the peoples mint, bought and paid for from the muppets on wall street.

Jake

Smart. Along with guest accounts

BoldGold

I did the same thing. I added an extra to my enrollment before they cut it off and you know what… they only gave me one coin! I saw it on my email so I called before noon and spoke to a mint representative. She said she didn’t know why it cut my additional coin but there was nothing they could do. I went online right at noon through my app and was able to buy one more manually. By the time my transaction was completed, they were sold out! Thanked my lucky stars!

Kevin H

I’m glad it worked out. I had called the week they cut it off because it looked like it was only showing $73 for the enrollment I had added one to. I kept getting notifications to update or my order would be canceled. The rep assured me it was for two. I kept checking my enrollments page and then I received an order confirmation the night before for two and the charges to match. Guess I won’t really know until they are in hand. The USM has things so messed up right now, I know covid has had an impact,… Read more »

Kevin H — You are not alone. I too got several eMails from the Mint requesting I check my enrollment/account information to ensure it was correct. So I did so 3 times, the last being the day before the official start of this sale. So all of this was a non-issue for me. I originally enrolled because I was not going to be able to be at my computer to place a Silver Eagle order last year. But TODAY is actually the first time I checked CoinNews for other’s comments. Wow. Looks like the Dam (or was that The Damn)… Read more »

Kevin H

Mike – The enrollments are a good thing, especially if you can’t be at the computer, or space out an on sale. I don’t know why more people didn’t use it for this. The ASE was sure to be sought after this year with the change in design (Mike M has been hyping it for months lol), and you save a few bucks with free shipping. I wish they had some form of them (even if limited) for some of the really limited items.

Jake

You forgot, seems to be a goldfish problem.

Jake

The smart ones watched our enrollment sell out.

Mike Hunt

John, while there may have been others, the only people I saw that noted people having enrollments in the coin were you and “Kevin H”.

As a collector, not a flipper, I had done an Enrollment for one (yes, just one) for all Silver Eagles last year. As a result I actually got a Confirmation of my purchase BEFORE the designated start time of its sale.

Richard Margolis

I also got notification for one coin, but it is still processing since the 11th.How slow is the mint these days

Mike Hunt

Richard —
I just checked its status … the Mint says it shipped on 2/13 and its anticipated delivery (by the USPS) is by the end of the day today.

But we’ll see about that … as I sent a Registered Return Receipt Letter of Complaint (re the 2019 Reverse Silver Proof Eagle snafu) to the Director of the Mint (David Ryder) in November of 2019. ONE MONTH later it was returned to me stamped by the USPS as ADDRESSEE UNKNOWN !!!

I like joking. But even I can’t make up stuff like this ….

Mike Hunt

Just an update for you Richard … the USPS just delivered mine, even though its delivery had been promised 2 days ago “late in the day”. So I guess the USPS considers that February 19th is just late in the day on February 17th. But given all the bad weather across the country, we probably should cut the USPS some slack. On the other hand the coin appears as pristine and crisp as any Eagle I have ever received. Well worth the wait for this collector that started his collection in 1955. (Oh, that’s the year … not the Military… Read more »

The US MInt web site worked well this morning. Got my Congratulations set at 9:00 am, but went unavailable at 9:07. I had a subscription for the 2021 W Proof Silver Eagle, but also ordered one more at 9:08 am. Went through fine, but as of 9:35 am, it too became unavailable. I am a collector, and will be keeping the coins as part of my American Silver Eagle collection. Can’t wait for the 2021 Morgan and Peace Dollars.

Roxie60

I am also looking forward to the Morgan and Peace copies but I’m sure they will make a bunch. Still I want a couple for my collection

Kevin H

I hope you’re right, I don’t have as much faith in the USM. I hope they make enough of all the mints and finishes that regular collectors can get them.

Chas. Barber

Peace dollar will phuck you over bro the Mint will have a limit of 100 or so, and the bot$ will orgasm over the $$$ the biguns make, Ryder looks brilliant the Mint loses the last of the dead enders

Jake

Fake news

Chas. Barber

NOt fake, no brag JUST FACT, the mint is out to mess you up brah. The sleep with Mezak & the big boy$ I wish it was the fishes

Jake

You probably collect plastic.

Jake

A copie? Is that a joke? are you a customer of the intellectual property of CHINA?. Still good imput.

Jake

WELL theres a deep subject for shallow minds! Yes, subscriptions and guest accounts and pre orders are best.

Kevin H

The fun is just beginning one release down, five to go for ASE this year.

Jake

I bet you wish you had bitcoin and a real job instead of WFH.

Kevin H

Someone obviously has attention issues lol. I bet you wish you had a real life. I couldn’t care less about bit coin. I do have a real job and don’t work from home, I’m proud to be a grocery worker who has been on the job throughout the pandemic. What have you been doing besides spouting off? Seek therapy.

Good for you. I think I am good. Did the enrollment for 1. Confirmed order so I think I am good. I never feel confident until it shows as shipped.

That is right, except I never feel confident until it has arrived.

MJS

This ASE frenzy will go the way of GameStop eventually – 327k plus at least 50k congrats does not constitute a rare/collectible coin.

Randall Pafford

Totally agree… The big dogs bought most. One advantage, big dogs get better deals getting certified. You will probably get better deals buying graded coins cheaper than average guy could get purchase/graded price.

The bigger they are the harder they fall. It’s how you get back up! Some muppet lost a billion dollars on wall street RIP you get better deals with your digital wallet. End the fed and collect because its history.

It will be interesting to see what happens with this coin with the increased price. If one does not care about getting a perfect MS-70 coin, I anticipate being able to pick up a graded MS-69 below issue price.

Randall Pafford

That’s the way I fly!

Good for you Erv. I like true collectors.

Thats your opinion which I wholeheartedly reject.

There isn’t much activity on these on Ebay. I observed them “as low” as $135.00 and no one is buying. I find that interesting.

Hey muppet do the math on digital gold buy these yearly sets after the weak hands fold.

Jimbro

I was blissfully unaware of the sellout because I’ve stopped my US Mint emails. Too many sell outs in minutes over too many years. I’ll get one if my local coin dealer happens to pick one up in the future. Could be next year, could be 5 years, heck, it might be never. Would I have liked to pick one up at the original cost? Sure, but there’s too many other things to worry about in life than the US Mint’s notoriously poor product release system.

Jake

We shall end our suffering for all when we end the fed.

Christopher Williams

I was at my computer when I received notification that these were once again available; clicked it, and they were gone. What the heck?

Rooster

Same here. This has been common with these alerts from the mint.

Christopher Williams

Yep. Every time I receive a “notification” that an item is back in stock and am at my computer when I receive it, the product is already gone. What’s the point!!!

Weird huh.

The mint has my junk hilary Clinton email account. lol I just save em too haha like my password sheet in my LIBERTY presidential safe.

I was surprised they were selling the entire lot, thought they could have made a bit more if they broke the lots. But then maybe they thought someone would pay up for a sealed fr Mint lot.

Same crap as last year and EVERY YEAR, web site would not let people log in. When will the mint FINALLY do pre orders for the A.S.E. like they do for silver commemoratives!

Jake

Yes pre orders via enrollment or whatever and just on sale is good enough

david cianfarano

Lucky to get 5. Enrolled way early. Didn’t expect sellout in minutes.

Jake

Just like bitcoin soon to be sold out yesterday and Jake accounting for the future.

Looks like sales started to pick up today for these coins.

Soon to be exponential for all coins for everybody to earn a coin! Hold dont sell! Investments people! Not buy tomorrow sell the next day. Buy today and end the FEDERAL RESERVE tomorrow it’s our civic duty!

Can we please keep the insults and anti-semitic comments off of here and stick to discussing coins?

mezack selling ngc pf70 for 399.00 last night, think this coin might be a whopper !

Richard Margolis

He claimed to have gotten early delivery of proof ASE. How is this possible, $399.99 for 1st day of issue

sam tweedy

Mike Mezack still the “KING” of coin collecting, can talk the ears off an elephant with his “BULLCRAP” Understand!!! lol

Kevin H

Right here right now he has a version from a pallet beamed down from the Enterprise minted Christmas Eve by Santa’s elves while feeding the reindeer FDOI LE of 2021 with an exclusive covid safe core lol. By what he says I would need about 20 different ASE to have the must have of the 2021s.

Sherril Matney

I read somewhere that the peace dollar is only going to have a mintage of 50,000 so we probably won’t get any of this is true

Daniel

So my US coin collection is going out with a whimper. Being based in Australia, I’ve always loved the silver dollar since I saw one as a little kid. When I got old enough with enough disposable income, I started building up an American dollar collection. I completed Morgan, Peace, Eisenhower, Susan B Anthony sets, and was working on Silver Eagle, Sacagawea and innovation sets. I didn’t restrict myself to just dollars. I have 1952 to present proof sets, and have happily been buying other items from the catalogue. I don’t think Americans realise how hard this is to do… Read more »

Abby

Has anyone received shipping confirmation??

Richard Margolis

My coin is still processing. Mint confirmed that CC is ok and they will bill when shipped. Mint blamed delay on weather conditions. I am afraid that they will eventually cancel my enrollment order as much of the mintage was sold prior to official release to “approved purchasers”

Christopher Williams

I did. Received the Tracking Number.

Rooster

The mint now has my order as shipped.

Mmk

My order was canceled… has this happened to someone else??
Any idea what to do

alleycat32

Rumor has it some dealer swooped in and bought thousands of these and had NGC do a special label called Advanced Issue. If you have a spare 600.00 you can get one from Pinehurst Coins in North Carolina.

Richard Margolis

According to Mike sold-out Mezack, 18 approved dealers were able to buy the proof coins prior to release and get them to the graders for 1st day release. Someone at the mint is making a lot of money by allowing these back-door sales

POed

I have an enrollment for this proof silver eagle. I received an email order confirmation early on the morning of the 11th. The status said “processing”. There was a pending charge on my credit card, so I was hoping I’d receive it soon. Hope in one hand and…in the other. The status is still “processing” a week later. And it’s still pending on my credit card. I have no balance on my card, so there’s not a problem with the card. I called the mint and was told to switch my payment method to my debit card which is also… Read more »

Are you not watching the news or reading what the Mint said about staffing? Take a couple of minutes and relax, as they have thousands of coins to ship and you could be last in line.

Richard Margolis

If weather was a problem, how did the big boys get their coins to the graders prior to the release date. It is all BS so someone could make a profit

I received mine today graded MS 70 from a dealer. I’m happy. I’d like to add that I pre-ordered this back the day after Christmas.

I have a subscription and just received a cancellation notice!!!

Rooster

Wow! They should honor any small player and put the big players last in line.

sam tweedy

Received a remind me e-mail today available at 9.08am, was already logged on still not available??? Playing games. Screw U S MINT…!!!

Rooster

Same here. 9:08

Rooster

Just received confirmation that my coin has shipped. Happy that the order wasn’t canceled.

Christopher Williams

Mine shipped on 2/14/2021 and they haven’t moved since and it’s 02/23.

Rooster

Wow Chris that is odd that it would sit that long. I showed shipment on 2/21 and it is in transit.

Christopher Williams

I just checked again and received the below message:

A damage has been reported and we will notify the sender.”

Rooster

Never have heard of that before. Maybe they will repackage and send again. Hopefully all will end good.

Christopher Williams

I hope so, too, Rooster. Thank you.

Christopher Williams

After sending an email to Customer Service, they replied that as soon as they receive the “damaged package” they will issue me a refund. I replied “I don’t want a refund, I want the coin.”

Rooster

Crazy that they jumped to that conclusion. Possibly a bot response. Hopefully they make this right for you.

Mike

I had four of the coins in my subscription checked my order status last week says they were being processed. Checked my order status today and shows the items have been cancelled . Called the US mint told them I never cancelled my order they said there is nothing they can do and she said try the remind me button if more ever come available.

Richard Margolis

I called the Mint this morning and stated that my enrollment order was still processing. Operator claimed that there were weather delays, but my adress label had just been printed. Hopefully this indicates movement in the delivery, but was told not to expect coin for 2 weeks

Ryanantula

The mailman just delivered my two coins this evening. This whole time I was never really sure I was going to get them. The Mint emailed me every day it seems with conflicting messages… “your payment info is expired, and your enrollment order was cancelled” (I had updated my payment info 2 wks prior…), “your order is processed!”, “your order is shipped” (as of 2/15… but then no tracking movement for another week!). Customer service went back and forth from telling me my order number didn’t exist, and they were sorry my order was cancelled even though it should not… Read more »

Will the 2021-S American Eagle Silver Dollar Proof coin and the 2021-W American Eagle Silver Dollar Uncirculated coin, to be released this summer by the US Mint, have the new Type-2 reverse flying eagle design or the old, original Type-1 heraldic eagle reverse design?

Kevin H

Rich – I believe they will have the new Type II design indicated by the ‘N’ added to the item number like the 2021 W proof for summer release.

Steve

On the new labels, Advanced Releases, is this really what it sounds like. The chosen few will get 100’s of eagles in advance of everyone else?
That doesn’t sound right to me as they would probably set themselves up for lawsuits. It always says that these will not be available to anyone until the time stated, 12 noon EST not the exact wording but everyone knows. I would love to find out the real truth, 100%.

Kevin H

The real truth is that the mint is complicit in fraud.

Steve

These so called advanced releases are selling for 500.00. I asked a couple dealers what the labels meant, I didn’t get a response!

Earl

A couple of weeks ago I heard someone in the investment world say about having gold and silver in an IRA or 401K (on paper): IF YOU CAN’T HOLD THE GOLD AND SILVER IN YOUR HAND, YOU DON’T OWN IT.

Chas. Barber

O think the author meant Proofs distributed to big boy dealers in 8 minutes, Joe Collector SHUT OUT….unle$$ you want to pay DOUBLE amigo!!

Mike

So tell me what is the difference between the 2021 american silver eagle proof and the 2021 congratulations coin set. The congratulations set coin is selling for over $400.00 why is that?

Steve

Coin world has the updated information about the advanced releases, who gets them and how many. This explains why they were sold out in minutes. Dealers are selling them for 500 bucks for a 73.00 dollar coin. I asked a couple dealers about these with no reply. There just raking in the money. What a total scam and it should be addressed!!

Robert Hommel

What are the 2021-W ASE proofs congratulations set selling for now?

Peter L. Gordon

Update for the last half of 2021: August 24, 2021 is the release date of the 2 coin reverse proof ASE set. All the dates are now posted through September 28th except the North Carolina rolls and bags of the innovation coin, the George Herbert Walker Bush Coin and Chronicles Set, the innovation coin reverse proof and proof sets, the limited edition silver proof set, and the Air Force 2 1/2 ounce silver medal. July 1st and August 16th will be big days for the ASE Type 2 Proofs, West Point and San Francisco. Mark your calendars folks, and pray… Read more »
