i've been thinking about it
id almost like to see the mint find another hoard of something and have them do that, just saying
I purchased 10 coins , spot is @ $86
proofs are harde to unload than the bullion. i'd wait for spot to buy them. and i'd like to see this rally to continue that high in the next couple of days
Still no

you definitely need to check around for buy price on proof coins. i expect a few dollars back. however that is a guess
If you want them to hold, at historically low markups to spot. Not to flip.
They might or might not provide some downside protection in the event of a collapse in the price of silver, due to their relatively low mintages, but that's not a reason to buy them, since it would still involve a significant monetary loss.
If a person wants to buy silver eagle right now, buy the mint Unc or proof ($4 more), it is cheaper then dealer's random year bullion ones.
So it the 2026 silver eagle coins are priced @ $125 - $150 ( speculation ) one would purchase these ?
I'm ..... Just looking for knowledge ?
For what purpose?

Numismatic purposes & bullion value
Would the US Mint's presidential silver medals be difficult to unload later? They are well-made and 1 troy ounce of .999 silver, but they are not marked with weight or purity.
No. When the 2026 numismatic ASEs are offered for sale, assuming they are repriced, ALL numismatic ASEs will also be repriced. If you want "these," at "these" prices, you need to buy them while they are offered at "these" prices. The Mint NEVER offers different years of the same product at different prices.
Bullion value, absolutely not. $125 for bullion at current prices. Insane.
Numismatic value, no. The Mint price will not increase the value of old issues which are still essentially bullion for proof silver eagles.
Your enjoyment of the coin, yes.
Mint products are generally not designed to appreciate in value.

This.
The Mint is only trying to make money for the Mint. You're trying to find an easy way to make money on coins. The Mint is 100% not the way. Read the 1000 other thread on this forum if you're actually looking for knowledge.
The rise in bullion prices has made a lot of obscene premiums look less horrible. But if you want bullion, don't buy bullion 40% above the bullion value.
Very few Mint products have long term numismatic value appreciation.

Can you say that in english ?
And if you can give me 40% below the bullion value @ today's prices ..... PLEASE let me know !!!
Why not buy AT bullion prices? There is no reason to pay a 40% premium.
I will sell you 1 to 1000 ounces at 20% above.
If you want, I'll sell you 1 to 1000 proof silver eagles at 20% above.
Let me know how you'd like to pay.

Apparently, English doesn't work. If you have another preferred language, let me know. Thanks to machine translating, I can write that in 200 different languages.

Translation: The Mint sets their prices way too high.
Many special coins & sets drop in value on the secondary market. So if you wait a few months and buy from a dealer, or perhaps a reputable online source, you'll likely get a better price than the Mint charges.

How about Linear A.
Please tell me your price !
At this point, I can order the burnished unc. version of the ASE for $91. I pay no state tax which is 7.65. If i order from one of the major precious metal supplier now, they are all priced above $91 for a raw ASE. And I get hit with tax which adds almost $7.00 to that cost. So from my standpoint, if i want to be purchasing eagles, the mint is a better deal. At least it's a deal at this moment.
I agree my friend
plus, get 3%+ credit card reward from the mint purchase, instead of 4% dealer surcharge.
mint just sent repricing email
if you are a believer do it now
they will be hard to unload for the reason mentioned
I should clarify that I'm not necessarily promoting loading up on eagles from the mint. If anyone feels confident that precious metal pricing will only go up, then by all means consider the US Mint eagles while they last. As i said in my first post, it's a good deal for the moment.
I didn't go to MIT , however..... A 40% below premium doesn't reflect a 20 % above ?
Am I missing something
In case anyone had any doubt, I just received this notice from the Mint:
Dear Valued Customer,
To maintain transparency and a positive customer experience, we are reaching out to share an important update.
Due to metals cost, pricing adjustments are being evaluated across all numismatic products. In addition, rapidly rising silver prices may result in silver numismatic products being temporarily removed from sale while pricing is updated.
We are working expeditiously to update pricing in order to maintain product availability. However, we wanted to communicate in advance in case you notice changes on the United States Mint website.
Once pricing has been updated, we will notify you. For the most current product pricing and availability information, please visit our product schedule at: https://www.usmint.gov/product-schedule/
Please note: Subscriptions are subject to pricing adjustments. Please review your active subscriptions and payment methods as needed.
Thank you for your continued support of the United States Mint and its products.
I also like the presidential silver medals.
I have 20+ in the Coin and Chronicles Sets, issue price $57.95, and several standalone graded ones that bought close to spot at that time.
Yes.

Please enlighten me !
You were willing to pay 40% over. I offered you a discount.
All kidding aside. You want to buy them. Buy them. You have asked on2 threads whether you should and then you argue if I say no and explain why.
Buy them. Buy as many as you can afford right now. It's the best opportunity since Amazon went public.

Backdated material form the mint is nonsense.
Back in 1980, and I'll never forgive the mint for this, I had a customer that wanted to purchase 100 1976 S silver three piece mint sets. They were a desirable item at the time and weren't available at melt. I located the sets and we made the deal.
Months later, the mint announces that many sets were discovered (a-huh) and would be released. I don't remember the exact price, but they released them at much less that than going market.
My customer took a 35% hit. That was when I decided I was done with them.....Other than the secondary market of course.
I sent a letter to the director requesting the purchase of any 1796 quarters that they may have laying around.
Watching all their nonsense since, I'll never regret the decision.
The mint price is 40% above bullion price. jmlanzaf offered up to 1,000 0zs. at 20% above bullion price.
Well, to be fair, the current mint price isn't 40% over for the eagles. But he mentioned $125 to $150

spot price is at $85. and change . How do you figure a 40% increase on a coin at $90.00 ?
they've got 50k to move on just the unc. the proof are 95
i suggest a bulk order
Nicely done. Spot hit $88.88 today. If you went to a LCS my guess you would pay same as Mint price at $91 or more for an ASE
Thank you my friend !!
down to 31k
the question is how many dealers are paying full spot price if you want to sell these coins at a profit?
They are paying close to spot, but that yields no profit until spot gets to $96
