Introduced in 1986, the popular and now-iconic United States Mint American Eagle Silver Proof Coins are collector versions of the investment-grade American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins. These popular silver collectibles are struck at the United States Mint at West Point and have the “W” mint mark. This will be a first-of-its-kind opportunity to purchase a Silver Eagle with the latest technology (laser engraving) used to create master tooling. This coin includes a special laser-engraved privy mark.

A 100,000 mintage places this silver eagle along with the three military privy coins released this year, all projected at 100k mintage.

Imagine when the mint starts inserting limited privy and or laser engraved 1/1, 1/10, 1/100, etc randomly into monster boxes just like the sports card hobby. It feels like it's trending in that direction for collectors of modern mint products.
The privy stuff is getting overdone. It was really cool for the V75s. Should have stopped there.
100k lol
Same as the others. They will keep milking the cow until it runs dry. Were you really expecting anything different?
HHL of 1?
Why not? They can always lift it after 24 hours if the situation calls for it.

I don't get the negative comments. Of course the flippers want a artificial rarity, but the mint is delivering on its mission. They will sell all 100k and everyone who wants one will have an opportunity to buy one at mint issue price. They are doing their job.

this issue will reveal how many die hard proof ase collectors there are
9 different USM Silver Eagles in 2025
Maybe. They still haven't sold 100k Army privy coins and that may well be of more interest than the laser privy.
I agree the laser privy success is yet to be determined but it's reasonable to expect a similar sales rate. But do you think the army privy won't be completely sold out 30 days from now? People need to have their expectations realigned with reality. If a product sells out in a month or two's time (or even by the end of the year), it should be a success in anybody's book.

The army privy will only be sold out if they lift the HHL. If not, after all this time, I think it's pretty clear that pretty much everyone the Mint will accept an order from has already placed one.
It just might be that they don't care about selling the last few if it means letting them get into the hands of those they don't want to have them. They can also just send them out the back door to one or a few large customers, and call it a sell out without ever lifting the HHL. TBD, but it's also pretty clear that it's never going to sell out if they just keep doing what they have been doing since June 13th.
Are you kidding or just not that good at math? There's less than 3600 left for sale and they've been selling a few hundred a day with HHL=1. The trajectory is clear even if you can't see it.
Even then it will sell out which from the mint's point of view (or any business that sells out a product in a similar time frame) is a successful product.

Yes. I'm stupid. Because I see the number pop back up every time it gets close to zero. To me, that places the trajectory at never selling out. Because I'm stupid.
Never said it wasn't a successful product. You have me confused with my buddy @jmlanzaf.
I'm just saying it's not going to sell out if the Mint doesn't allow it to. Which it hasn't since June 13th, when it chose to purge ineligible orders, over and over and over and over again. With the ats counter hitting 0 two or three times now, there are still several thousand remaining.
I didn't say that either. I said it's going to be a long term loser. The Mint doesn't care if the price drops to spot in 2 years. Selling 95,000 widgets is successful for the seller.
I also said it wasn't "hot" because it couldn't sell out. And it still hasn't.
Counter just jumped up, so it's still possible it doesn't sell out in the next 30 days...
As much as I'd love to, I simply can't argue both sides in the same thread. It's objectively "hot," as evidenced by secondary market dealer bids.
It doesn't sell out because the Mint doesn't want it to. They can make one call and sell them all instantly. They could also just lift the HHL and sell them all in less than 5 minutes. They choose not to, because they are trying to condition gamers to stop gaming.
You staunchly and repeatedly said it would "never" sell out without raising the HHL. Never is a long time but I'll just wait a month and then reply to your post when it is officially sold out, assuming HHL doesn't get lifted. Why I predict they won't.
And while you never said it wasn't a successful product, it's also strongly implied when you staunchly and repeatedly claim that the coin will "never" sell out (with HHL=1). Hard to be successful if you can't sell them all (with the caveat of HHL=1).
Yes, possible, but even I can see where the trend is headed, and I went to public school.

It doesn't sell out because it is preorders, now that it is shipping the mint can't play the games anymore. If these had been shipping on the day of first orders, it could have ended long ago.
Just go back and carefully read my other posts. You'll see why I think it won't sell out if they don't raise the HHL.
Has nothing to do with it not being "hot." I also said they could just push them out the back door to a few large customers and be done with them.
But it's clear they are never going to sell out one at a time if they keep canceling orders every day. Which is exactly what they are doing, even though you don't see it reflected in the ats number every day.
For what it's worth, it's not going to be a "gotcha" for you if they actually do mark them as Sold Out. Because you won't know whether or not they did, in fact, push the remainder out the back door to any one of several dealers currently bidding $200+ for them.
The fact remains that they have been on sale for going on 2 months now, with a HHL of 1, and have not sold 100K because they won't accept orders from people ineligible to place them, and everyone eligible to place an order has apparently already placed as many orders as they can.
