Just went on the Mint site & it looks like the 2010 W Proof Silver Eagles aren't available anymore... Did they sell out?

    They've been on backorder several times but I don't know if they're sold out.

    It doesn't even show them as being on backorder anymore... Just says they'll be available as of November 19, 2010.

    I think they ended up around 750,000 total. Does anyone have a firm number? image

    Mine arrived. Looked fine except for a few bits of lint and external capsule marks.

    Mine is great....likely a 70, but since ownership adds a grade, well... a 69 is OK... image Cheers, RickO

    I think NN's mint stats website indicated somewhere around 830,000+ sold now.

    How does 830,000 compare to other years.... high or low?

    Based on what I've read from bulk purchasers,
    80%++ have been returned because they did
    not think they'd grade PR 70.

    People like that cause the sell outs so soon after
    the release. I have one coin [ ordered two ] that
    has a damaged capsule. I'm returning it for a replacement.
    I hope they are willing to replace it now.

    So it would seem.

    And is this the quickest sellout of Proof Silver Eagles?

    What may help the 2010 proofs the most is a rise in 2011 price to $50-$55.

    That and a continued demand from those pumping them as IRA investments.

    So if 80% were returned, does that mean there's only around 166,000 of these floating around?

    Don't think for a minute that the mint didn't ship those right out to someone else even though they said that they would not.

    Hmmm... sold out, eh? I wonder if that will interrupt my request that they replace the 5 they originally sent me... I returend them all, due to poor quality (IMO), and requested replacement...


    Ooops... just checked Mint website... says they shipped replacements 12/21...

    80% returned...not even close. The after market hit $53 per on these for a breif period, and still is above issue price. Why would you return them when you can sell them for more on the open market.

    My guess is more like .0008%

    Well, its about 3 hours later, and I just got back from retrieving my second set of 5 ASE's from the UPS facility (They tried to deliver 3 times, but I was out for the holidays - they wanted $6 to attempt a 4th delivery). After opening these up, I'm pleased (mostly, I think) to report that each coin is in far nicer condition than the first set... these are keepers, though I of course missed any opportunity to obtain FS - that is, if I'd wanted to send them into PCGS for grading...

    Under the circumstances, I've chosen to leave them raw for now, but am very pleased I chose to send them all back on the first go-round...

    I was very pleased with the last shipment of 5 I got also. I got 3 70's and 2 69's , and am not sorry I sent 45 back even though I have not seen the money returned yet.

    APMEX has gone from $59 to now $89 per ASE. Over $100 soon.

    And as of this morning they are only paying $46 for 2010's. "Spread" anyone?
