Thoughts on 2008 Proof Silver Eagle

Delorean

Any thoughts on how valuble 2008 Proof silvere eagles might be? It appears this could be a very low mintage if the Mint doesn't produce more by the end of the year.. What say all of you?

Thanks,
Chuck

94 and 97 are tough years as well..... It would be nice to see a low year minted during my collecting years..

If anything I like the new look.....

Isn't the mintage simular to the 1999 ? I don't see much of an increase.

2008 indeed could be a low mintage year ( historically speaking )with 712,378 having been sold so far.

I see it as a high mintage, am I missing something? The pricey ones are 93,94, and 95...

712,378 Thast isn't that low at all, they will go nowhere.

The fact that a number of these are probably in collector hands and not in dealer hands, I am figuring dealers did not get a chance to order these for xmas time, could mean that the coins are spread out and might make this a better then common year.....

Know if the mintage figures are as high as are listed in this thread, I don't see much overall potential.....

The 08 proof has been unavailable for months, and won't be offered again, according to a Mint rep. The strory I heard was that the proofs

were being melted down to produce the uncs. Heard it here somewhere. So what value does the mintage have?

I watched a few end at $50-$60 over the last few days. Sleeper under the radar?

I have 10 for my rainy day fund. I am not getting any of them graded after all the spotting I have encountered recently..
