American Eagle 2026 One Ounce Silver Enhanced Uncirculated Coin

Do we expect the same craziness when the uncirculated coin releases in April like we saw with the proof ASE?

    So how many were actually offered yesterday February 26, 2026? Mint might be limited in how many planchets it can get. There is a lot of consumer silver being melted, that is true, but how much actually available in the form needed for silver eagles? Will the situation ease by April or get worse?

    Wild ! I just looked and 4-21-26 Unc issue dropped from limit 10 to limit 1 and mintage went from 90k max to 125k.

    90k to 125k max overnighy

    Oh !

    New ASE 1776~2026 dual date BU product. I got to it via 2026 Unc linky

    Something else I JUST signed up for as I would rather have BU silver.

    Now impossible to get to 2026 W ASE $ linky, tried to up my 4 to more system said I exceeded my limit which used to be 10.

    I'd like to know what exactly "Enhanced" Unc means??
    Just - Burnished? Laser engraved? ...

    This is a common finish. Laser sandblasted. Go to eBay or Google and search "enhanced uncirculated" and you'll see what it looks like. They've used it many times before including the whole set in 2017 and a silver eagle.

    All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.

    26’s completely gone from the catalog order page at this moment. Will they return?

    kewl - thx. B)
    That calms my completion FOMO itch. I collect the proof versions, and when they changed the reverse I grabbed a few burnished UNCs. Not really my cup o'tea. They got me once, gonna save my $ for some of the new items being offered this year.

    Thats what got me wondering.
    I have that, and others. Its like a floating definition of "Enhanced".

    A little proof, a little UNC. A little more, a little less.

    I believe that if the mint did a better job of presenting this coin it would sell out. The 2013 EUnc is a great looking, unique coin that we don’t see often. Combining that special finish for this 2026 with the somewhat limited mintage, dual dates, and the liberty bell privy could result in a winner.
    The problem for many is they don’t have a clue what the mint is creating and the mint hasn’t made much effort to present it. It’s the difference between an entity wanting to sell these and someone else (the mint) figuring they have a captive audience who will buy them anyway.

    I like em and signed up for one
