Are they coming from the mint or does the mint farm them out to bullion dealers? Or both?

Late May/June American Eagle Silver Uncirculated Coins
<< <i>2006 marks the inaugural year of the American Eagle Silver Uncirculated Coin Program. Struck on specially burnished blanks, this coin offers silver precious metal purchasers a new collectible version of the popular American Eagle Silver Bullion Coin and features a finish similar to its bullion coin counterpart. Each coin also bears the “W” mint mark reflecting its striking at the United States Mint at West Point. >>
The key word being inaugural. To differentiate betwen the regular uncirculated coins released in January of the Year and the US Mints uncirculated virsions, the W mint mark is put on the coin.

19Lyds, did you read what you posted? It is talking about the 2006! Not the 2007.
for 2007, all it states is that they will be specially burnished.
If the 2007 Silver Eagles DONT have the W.......How high will the 2006-W go and go and go. But I am pretty sure the 2007's will have the W

Of Course I read what I posted but look at this: The mint has already sold Uncirculated 2007 SAE's to the general public and to be quite honest, the difference between the burnished coins and the regular eagles is very minute. The only way the US Mint could distinguish between what they are selling and what has already been sold is WITH the W Mint mark. Additionally, an Inaugural coin is just that, the beginning of a series, so since the 2006 has the mint mark it only stands to reason that the 2007, 2008, on out will have them!
Buncha worry warts that the 2007 wont have the W mint mark but will just be burnished. Whose gonna be able to tell the difference between the "Collectible" Uncirculated coins from the mint vs the regular bullion (which we alrweady collect) unless it has the W Mint mark??
Keep in mind that the selling of Uncirculated SAE's and GAE's really undercuts the bullion dealers so mint is hyping these as "collectible" versions of the bullion coin. The only way to distinguish the two is via the mint mark.
Edited to add: From this page:
<< <i>In a process similar to that used to create the magnificent American Eagle Proof Coins, American Eagle Uncirculated Coins are hand-loaded into the coining press, struck on specially burnished blanks and carry the "W" mint mark of the United States Mint at West Point. >>

You know what I saw? The finishes to be almost identical. The only advantage for the later coins is that there appeared to be more definition in the devices. I do understand that the SAE dies have been worked over and revised so not sure if there were extra strikes to the '06 W's.
Bottom line, very little difference in appearance and possibly these could be seen as contrived by the mint for sale purposes.
Well, just Love coins, period.
<< <i>Bottom line, very little difference in appearance and possibly these could be seen as contrived by the mint for sale purposes. >>
Of course they are!
The mint has added "collectible" versions of bullion coins which bear the "W" mint mark. It would also appear that they were in direct conflict with their previous policy of NOT selling "uncirculated" bullion to the masses since this would undercut sales of the bullion dealers out there.
Its also possible that this was the reason the 2006-W got cut off so quickly after its release. Remember that these were supposed to be minted to demand yet they stopped the orders at somewhere around 227,000 coins bringing the 2006-W to record low mintages for an uncirculated SAE.
Given this possiblity, it seems logical that there will be minting limits on future W Uncirculated coins but as with anything the US Mint does, its anybodies guess and you usually never know for sure until its too late!
