So - do we get a normal burnished ASE or do we get an enhanced finish ASE on 5/28?

USM info does not say enhanced ASE is unique to WP set......

USM site seems to favor the regular burnished variety....

What say you?

    They've shown no inkling of doing so, but I wouldn't put it past them. The scarcity factor of new issues seems to have a half-life of about 1 year, these days.

    the interesting thing is a while back - in print, the USM mentioned a new collector version "uncirculated" ASE to be released. They seemed to infer that this would be the new version going forward - and the current burnished seemingly would be retired.

    it doesn't look that way - but stranger things have happened.

    This is a secret so don't tell anyone, but this year the burnished silver eagle is the normal version that they have done as in the past. Starting next year they will be switching the burnished coin to be the enhanced American Eagle Silver Uncirculated Coin. At least that is the gameplan.

    Half - you are the comedian......you must be practicing your standup routine.

    Overdate has pulled the info from the press release - I see the USM has done a fine job on including that info on the product page (NOT!), so you have to go searching for it.

    As I mentioned in my previous post, there was information released about the switch from burnished to another finish for the collector coin - looks like this year is the same as last, who knows about the future.........all you guys know that we typically get the "unexpected" from the USM.

    If I had to guess,

    the version released on 5/28 would be the regular burnished ASE, later in the year they will sell singles of the enhanced version.
