The latest US Mint figures show weekly sales more than doubled for the 2008 Annual Uncirculated Dollar Set, which includes the 2008-W Uncirculated Silver...
The 2009 Silver Eagle coin cancellations sting many collectors the most following yesterday's US Mint announcement that it would not offer several long awaited and anticipated 2009 products.
For many weeks now, collector questions, concerns and worry increased about the possibility of this very thing happening -- especially to the proof Silver Eagle. The thought of forever having a gapping hole in a 23-year old collection is severely disappointing, but now a reality.
Of interesting note, there is still a means to buy an uncirculated 2008-dated American Silver Eagle directly from the US Mint. One is included in the 2008 US Mint Annual Uncirculated Dollar Set for $37.95.
The set includes the collector eagle as well as four 2008 Presidential $1 Coins from the United States Mint at Philadelphia, and a Sacagawea Golden Dollar from the United States Mint at Denver.
2008 Annual Uncirculated Dollar Coin Sets will be available for purchase on Thursday, August 7 at 12:00 noon ET.
The United States Mint today announced that each set is priced at $37.95, and will include this year's four Presidential $1 Coins minted in Philadelphia with the "P" mint mark.
James Monroe $1 coin,
John Quincy Adams $1 coin,
Andrew Jackson $1 coin, and the
Martin Van Buren $1 coin
Plus, the two remaining 2008 denominated dollar coins:
Sacagawea Golden Dollar, and an
American Eagle uncirculated silver dollar
The Sacagawea $1 is minted in Denver with a "D" mint mark while the American Eagle Silver dollar bears the mint mark "W" indicating it was minted at West Point.
