    << <i>Lets go with this because this is all we have for now.

    AGE 4 coin proof set product limit - 35,000 Sold out at approximately 1/3rd of limit.

    If the fractionals sell out at the same rate as the 4 coin set, the scenario would look something like this:

    AGE dimes single product limit - 30,000 If it sells out at 1/3rd, that would be 10,000 plus (approx 10 - 15,000 4 coin sets) = 20 - 25,000 total
    AGE quarters single product limit - 16,000 If it sells out at 1/3rd, that would be 5,334 plus " " " " " " = 15,334 - 20,334 total
    AGE halves single product limit - 15,000 If it sells out at 1/3rd, that would be 5,000 plus " " " " " " = 15,000 - 20,000 total

    The numbers are good enough for me.

    Any ideas? >>

    I haven't followed the AGE Proofs. Is the collector base large enough to command a nice premium on these with the mintages stated, even if they are the AGE kings?

    Also, does anyone know the mintage numbers for the next lowest (relative to the 08s) AGE Proofs? (At work, can't look it up). Thanks.

    When this auction shows up in search results, the price is in green and the Sold icon appears. Maybe an Ebay bug and it didn't really sell?

    Apparently a***l is Cameron a.k.a "Sampleslab" on eBay... Given that he was selling these sets for $2150 and under just within the past month, and then claiming that the packages were "lost in the mail", this is quite baffling.

    Several 2008-W burnished 1/10 oz. plats have been sold during the past few weeks as BINs under $200. I think these sales eventually exhausted the supply at this price, resulting in a higher price for the remaining coins being offered.

    I must be missing something regarding comments suggesting that the 2008 AGE Proofs are destined to be the new keys.

    I checked the 2009 Red Book and noted the following dates/mintages for AGE Proofs:

    $5: 1998 W 20,000
    2004 W 15,636
    2005 W 17,546

    $10: 2004 W 9344
    2005 W 7992

    $25: 2004 W 7835
    2005 W 7054

    $50: 2004 W 8720
    2005 W 9784

    There are no mintage AGE Proof mintage figures listed for dates later than 2005.

    From this data it would seen that the 2008 W AGE Proofs are far from keys. What am I missing here?

    Are the 4-coin set stats added in to the totals?
  • I checked the 2009 Red Book

    Unfortunately a big, but innocent mistake!

    That Book is a horrible reference source for those numbers, especially related to our beloved Bullion.

    For example if you look at the numbers for the American Eagle Gold Proofs, it is NOT obvious that these numbers do NOT include the Coins found in the 4-coin AE Gold Proof Sets for any given year.

    This was kindly pointed out to me when I was looking for the Key Coins of the American Eagle Gold Proofs.

    Oh, the Key Coins for the American Eagle Gold Proofs??

    Thanks for the info Coinboy. I assumed (yes, I know where that gets you) that this was the total mintage numbers, as I did not see any separate set numbers. Do you (or does anyone) know the total mintages for the coins above? I.e., are ALL of the 2008 AGE Proofs keys? What is a good source for the mintage numbers of past year ASE, APE and AGE proof/burnished coins?

    Also, is the collector base for the AGE Proof keys large enough that these coins should command a good premium long term at 20K + mintages?

    Finally, as to the Burnished ASEs, it's amazing that the numbers aren't higher given the number that were purchased in the hunt for the '08 w/rev. of '07.

    Moderncoininfo lists the same, sub '08 AGE Proof numbers that I listed in my post. So, Moderncoininfo's numbers also don't include the 4 coin sets?

    With the 1/10th unc AGEs at less than half the mintage -- it's hard to pay more for the proofs.

    I saw on another thread the 08-W ASE is down to about 2,000 left at the Mint. It may undersell the 06-W...

    My observation over the past couple of years is exactly that. The dimes usually double immediately after sell out.

    Coinboy -- sounds like there is a bit of an information vacuum out there on mintages, and based on your recent response on this question, I can only surmise that you seem you have a handle on this.

    There must be a source other than the mint to approximate these -- any hints? (oh great one...)

    << <i>Lets go with this because this is all we have for now.

    AGE 4 coin proof set product limit - 35,000 Sold out at approximately 1/3rd of limit.

    If the fractionals sell out at the same rate as the 4 coin set, the scenario would look something like this:

    AGE dimes single product limit - 30,000 If it sells out at 1/3rd, that would be 10,000 plus (approx 10 - 15,000 4 coin sets) = 20 - 25,000 total
    AGE quarters single product limit - 16,000 If it sells out at 1/3rd, that would be 5,334 plus " " " " " " = 15,334 - 20,334 total
    AGE halves single product limit - 15,000 If it sells out at 1/3rd, that would be 5,000 plus " " " " " " = 15,000 - 20,000 total

    The numbers are good enough for me.

    Any ideas? >>

    I just snagged 10 of 'em.


    Looks like they could be a winner. Wish I hadn't sunk so much in the plat UNC's. It would have freed up more cash for the Buffs and these. I am beginning to suspect the Plat UNC"s will be a looooooooooooooong term hold before they appreciate significantly.

    I picked up some of all of these but i'm really thinking I should have gone all in for the Buff sets.

    It seems that the people who sell the coins are not the same people who know how many coins are actually available. And apparently sales

    often exceed available coins. But since most mint offerings have almost infinite availability, it is almost never a problem. That is

    how it looks to me anyway.

    I believe the single coin mintage for the 2006 one ounce proof gold is too low as ten thousand of these coins were also sold in the 10th Anniversary set. Therefore the mintage number is more like 21,871 + set sales.

    Me too - I just rec'd e-mail from the mint stating the delivery date for some AGEs which I ordered.
    Things are getting sorted out it seems!
