What?
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?
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.

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

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.

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.

Those of you with better info please feel free to chime in. Everyone's opinion welcome. >>
Thanks younique-
Were you able to find data for 2004 and 2005? They seem to be low mintage years? Thanks!!
I ordered five quarter oz uncirculated eagles on 20 December. At the time, they indicated in stock and reserved.
I just checked my order status and they are now showing backordered, expected to ship on 19 January.
The product page shows everything is available. What the heck is going on?

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.
The latest figures on w proof AGE's as of 12/23/08 - you must add the 4 coin set number to the singles for total single sales figures-
2006----------1 ounce- 11,871
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.

The Mint website is inaccurate, screwed up, full of pooh. It is showing backordered for most orders. Obviously noone is home or at the wheel since the Holidays started two weeks ago.

Sign of a "delayed" backorder situation? Lots of goofiness with orders lately, I suspect there will be a lot of unexpected cancellations.
Things are getting sorted out it seems!
