The short answer is no. I have twice tried to get interested in this series and have ended up selling the partial sets I had. They just don't do anything for me as a collectable, and the games the mint plays with them to generate speculator/flipped interest is a major turn-off to me.

After reading this thread, I just went out to my local pawn shop and purchased 1 2015 Silver Eagle (Raw)! I know the Phillies can only be determined by the original boxes/packaging but I figure spending only $25, it's worth the risk, right?
One More Thing... I'm hoping maybe later down the line, a Marker/s will show up to determine which ones are from Philadelphia without having the original box.

Nope...they were providing a service based on both the statements from the Mint and consumer requests.
I think the bigger question is whether they should have been providing the service at all based on the potentially specious "facts" they had access to.

they had a system until the meddling kids at the mint tried (and succeeded) at throwing them off the scent.

"Markers," should they ever be identified, are sure to be so miniscule as to discourage interest over time, even if there's some kind of initial flurry. And my bet is that no such "markers" exist, that the dies used at each site were made identical.
"The U.S. Mint issued a statement May 25 announcing that information Mint officials released March 20 pursuant to a Coin World Freedom of Information Act request in February was erroneous concerning tracking numbers that might be able to be used to identify the source Mint facility for boxes of 2015 American Eagle silver bullion coins."
Some of these erroneous box numbers were used to incorrectly label non WP slabbed ASEs.
I wonder if the Mint will reimburse all the people who bought these?

What is your opinion guy's? Would you say any " Early Release" or " First Day Of Issue" 2015's are the ones first minted at the Philadelphia mint? or one still can't determine that? Weren't the first of these (2015 Eagles) 79,600 minted at phil. than the rest at San Francisco? If this turns out to be true, than any Slabbed , (PCGS or NGC), 2015 Silver Eagles, " Early Release"/"First Day Of Issue", titled would be the ones minted at the Philadelphia Mint! No? yes?

I keep looking at the title of the OP, and just question the whole area of collecting by type [not demonstrated by variances ON the coin] and not by packaging. If collecting by MINTMARK, then these are a non-issue of possibly only passing interest to a few. The HSN hype is absolutely ridiculous IMO.
Love that Milled British (1830-1960) Well, just Love coins, period.
Having read the article in this week's "Coin World" about these coins, I would have less than zero interest in them. If the coin does not have a mark that shows it was struck at the Philadelphia Mint, it should be of no interest to collectors.

No, what's ridiculous is someone actually bought one. Hope the best offer was like, $20...
Hmmm... How long do you think it'll be before we see the first counterfeit monster box straps?

take a look at the sell prices on the link.
a lot of money changed hands for each.
perhaps it is the seller on the hook. Is it possible our hosts are on the hook?
to get the San Fran or Philly designation they had to be submitted in sealed boxes of 500 with the correct (now not correct) serial number on the box.
Rampant currency debasement will be the most important investment trend of this decade, and it will devastate most people.

???
All of the ones in the link were bought...
I have a Dansco Album. One for every Year. I have some graded Silver Eagles as well. I plan on selling those to buy more Peace Dollars though.
Probably the best example of "Buy the coin, not the label" that I have seen.

Maybe those that paid an outrageous price for this label can resubmit and get an error label.

Okay, who has the complete run of strapping bands from every year of monster boxes?
I mean, let's get to RARITY !!!
I think the bigger question is whether they should have been providing the service at all based on the potentially specious "facts" they had access to.
I've been happy with 90% US silver coins and Mexican Libertads. No need for the ASE's.
they had a system until the meddling kids at the mint tried (and succeeded) at throwing them off the scent.
Fake news and alternate facts strike again.
Am I collecting by "mintmark"? Absolutely!
Am I collecting by where the coin was minted (based solely upon what could be erroneous information)?
Nope!
That is a "bubble market" which is a sure loser!
The name is LEE!
The real question is what will TPGs who already slabbed coins do if they find out they did so based on incorrect information.
"Markers," should they ever be identified, are sure to be so miniscule as to discourage interest over time, even if there's some kind of initial flurry. And my bet is that no such "markers" exist, that the dies used at each site were made identical.
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...

I can't find the 2015(P) PCGS number (624711) in the pop report. Anyone know the latest number of 69's and 70's?

No offence to those who do, without a mint mark to me it is, for lack of a better word, an ASE.
