2006 Silver Eagle West Point Mintage Figures

aus3000tin

Does anyone know what the mintage figures are for the Silver Eagle West Point Mint?
Also, the coin has a burnished finish, appears satiny. Does this make for a higher grade output?

Thanks,

Chris

Silver Eagle 2006-W Mintage:

20th Anniversery Silver Sets - 250,000
20th Anniversery Gold and Silver Sets - 20,000
Single Coins- 200,000

Total Mintage - 470,000

Most of mine came back MS69

PCGS is not grading any as MS70

I heard somewhere in the neighborhood of 850,000 for the 2006-W Unc SAE but I cannot verify that figure.

As far as the finish goes, I have a difficult time telling the difference between the regular 2006 and the 2006-W. I was expecting something notable but there is just not that much difference! The regular 2006 did have a tendency to have milky fields which is not that evident on the 2006-W but other than that, they both look the same to me.

The only thing I know for sure is that there are only 250,000 Reverse Proof SAE's!

Tyler has the mintages right on the mark. The total was 470K from all the various sales venues.

Well if that's true then..............................SELL EM ALL and BUY BUY BUY!

I say the price will level out above $150 for the 2006-Ws and it will be the new key date for the SAE Unc series, surpassing the 1996 (mintage 3.6 million).

the Reverse proof and the Uncirculated w mintmarks ASE's are two keys all in one set. These 20th anniversary sets are going to be big money in a few years when it finally sinks in.

Anyone watching eBay of late????

I have seen very few reverse proof silver or gold up for auction.

Is this a good sign for those of us that are buried in RP's?????

jamakin, i think your right on the $,i have several sets being graded as we speak,in the mean time i bought a 6-7 ms70 silver anniv.unc.at 300.00 each,just to hold,the $ coin is the reverse proof,then the unc.the silver anniv.proof looks like such a dog compared to the other coins in the set because of the overall mintage,but this coin with the 20th anniv. label will hold it's own in the long run IMO!..........THE 2006W SILVER EAGLES are like gold.................they are going for up to 85.00 raw!....these are just my thoughts not a way of life,.........................hind sight would be a wonderful thing if we could just turn it around......................!

Coin Finder

Well remember we are making assumptions about coins and their collectors in the future which can be problimatic if the Mint continues to change finishes and make up new coins etc every month. This causes the collecting public to lose focus and interest from their "collections" because they were based on a different set of rules. Those rules being collecting coins by date and mintmark, proof or unc, not shape or odd finish or all other forms of coinage. Ever try and collect Canadian coinage? How many different modern Canadian coinage sets are there?

Of course I could be wrong.

The mintage figures quoted above sound right except that the mint is still selling the proof coins. Does anyone know the mintage limit (if there is one) of the 2006-W Proof?

There was stated "no limit" per the mint.

Me too. My order 10/31, shipping date had changed to 1/16/07. But STILL doesn't say they shipped them.

Who were these graded by?

TXGold

There are still quite a few for sale on ebay....
and at the moment there are a few Rev. Proofs
avail. Bidding hasn't ended, but I see a couple
for around $910 with a day or so to go. May
buy 2 sets... see ebay link here.see ebay link here.

I wonder how many non-graded sets will be left after all of the ones sent in for grading?

An original set in the display case is really cool. Maybe one day the TPGers will produce a round holder that fits into the Mint display cases.

Looks like large quanties of the pcgs 3 coin sets on the bay. All 69 sets, non-first strike, selling for a little over 300.

segoja

I still have a 3 pc set First Strike Silver set up on E-Bay. The Rp is PR70, the others 69

Good question.
I had my first 10 sets graded (and sold...kept one 69-69-69 across the board after the wife decided on a new car and I've been selling a few things to get the payment money) and just had a BIN hit on an unopened box of 5 sets on ebay for $1400. I thought I priced it high (didn't really want to sell it) and was ready to take it down tonight if no bids, and send in for grading.

I still have another box of 5 sets that I may send in for grading. I would like to keep a set raw but, economically, the grading and/or selling in unopened USMint packaging is just too strong.

The boxed 2006-w SAE seems to also be doing well. Some guy I met at the coin show today had just bought 10 for $22 earlier this week he said (all the person had). The guy who bought them wasn't a dealer...he was buying for himself and grandkids. I told him sell a couple and keep what he wanted. I bought 3 for $35 today from a dealer as well. Figure I could flip one or two
