If memory serves, mint reports showed that many SEs minted in Philly that year, and a code on the boxes was used to identify which ones came from there.
I still do not see the attraction for these coins....no mint mark... just a cert from a shipping label... Nope, just can't get my collector interest revved up... Cheers, RickO
I cant even understand why some much attention is placed on grading a bullion coin anyway. Millions of these minted. All of them uncirculated and proof. So a few are exceptionally minted, it's still just a bullion coin. To each his own I suppose.
Haha I have no interest in this particular silver eagle what so ever. I don't understand the attraction. But that's just me. I have a few silver eagles that I have selected to own. This one here is a zero.
The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
The “key” issue from the 2014 to 2017 period is the 2015 coin struck at the Philadelphia Mint, with a mintage of 79,640 pieces, a tiny fraction of the total in comparison to the nearly 47 million pieces struck at the West Point Mint (none were struck for 2015 at the San Francisco Mint).

Is there a difference on the actual coin itself? In other words, are they the same coin as struck for bullion at West Point only struck in a difference facility?
Another seller is asking for $6000+ for ms 70. This is one expensive shipping label/sticker. The word "philly" printed from a regular printer is worth 5 oz of gold. lol

Exactly.
MILLIONS are minted and every possible effort is made to create a market which, in this case, is the "SLAB/LABEL Market".
If folks want to chase these farts in the wind for some plausible explanation for paying $611 for a common 1 Ounce Bullion Silver Coin then its their money to blow and the folks which dream up this marketing stuff know it.
How was it put many years ago? There's a sucker born every minute!
I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
People pay big premiums for the 1861-O half dollar which was made under the auspices of the Confederate States but is otherwise just a relatively common seated half

There's a survival estimate of less than 100 pieces for the CSA obverse 1861-O half. The plastic fantastic linked above is identical to the other 47 million pieces with the exception of a label claiming it was minted in Philly along with ~80,000 others.

true but at least the 61-o has die markers one can point to help make their case!

Very good question, I would like to understand this also.
If memory serves, mint reports showed that many SEs minted in Philly that year, and a code on the boxes was used to identify which ones came from there.
I think there was a thread on this, thru the FOIA a coin world (or other publication) article showed a limited number of ASEs were struck at Philly.

I could see value if there is a P slot to fill in a registry set
Is there a difference on the actual coin itself? In other words, are they the same coin as struck for bullion at West Point only struck in a difference facility?
Nope absolutely identical. All the dies are made in the same place. Same process.
But because of the number written on the box it can be proven that they're one of the smaller number minted in Philly.
The audience is the same people buying "First Strike" and other nonsese labels.

Looks like several people see value in this piece.
I see it at a $20 piece of bullion.

Not so much.
I have a 2015 in my set. Is it a "P" mint I can't prove it is and no one can prove it's not.!
And I have no intention to buy one, Thank you

Without a mint mark a coin could have been struck anywhere.

If it had a mint mark, then maybe. But just that label? No way!
