That's a real bargain for a 100 year old ASE. I'll definitely order a few.

1916-W ASE?
@BAJJERFAN
I have not seen any publication of this product... what is your source?? Cheers, RickO
FIXT LOL.
I thought it may be a typo.... but since it was a bold title, well.... stranger things have happened... Thanks for getting back....Cheers, RickO
The West Point mint warn't even a gleam in Uncle Sam's eye in 1916.
They heard ya; current price 44.95.

Possible very short selling period....ordered a "handful"
That was the pre-sale price in the email. My recollection FWIW is that in prior/earlier years the premium wasn't that high.
In the past they have sold them well into the next year.

So is this the normal uncirc W coin burnished with edge lettering added or will there be 2 coins, one with LE and one with normal reeded edge?
Only one coin...burnished with edge lettering.... From what I understand, production must cease by 12/31/2016.
What about sales?
Also, will this coin and its proof counterpart be considered type coins within the series?

Yup, they made 'em. They were the size of a half dollar with a different reverse. The "W" was part of the designer's initials.

When some of the coins due out this year were first announced, I was VERY excited and eager to pick up the gold commems and the Anniv. Eagles, but the mint really screwed everything up by overcharging and not setting reasonable mintage limits. I keep seeing the gold SLQ and WLH price go down with the spot price, I'm glad I didn't bother, not that there is anything else around worth buying for those looking for nice seminumi coins lately.
@Overdate ...Yep.... you are right.....doggone it, forgot about them.... Cheers, RickO
3 different varieties too!
Very nice BAJJERFAN....a lovely trio indeed.... Cheers, RickO
As of 12/2 US Mint revealed that it is no longer striking American Silver Eagles and American Gold Buffalo bullion coins dated for 2016, and that it will continue to sell those that they have already made until they’re gone. How many are left was not disclosed.

Isn't there a different set of rules governing sales of regular bullion and collector coins?

Good point...I don't know.
