Has any one else bought their '04 SAE Proof this morning?

CoinHusker · April 27, 2004 3:06AM

Just got off the phone with the Mint, (after nearly 15 minutes on hold), and got my proof SAE's ordered for this year. Any one else taken the plunge yet?

BTW, does anyone think the run up in the price of silver earlier this year might effect the mintage of the '04 proof SAE's?

Nope but they sold out last year. Total mintage was high. I don't remember the exact number. I would expect this year to do that same particuliarly as the States quarter program sweeps new collectors into the hobby. They will pick up one of these SAEs also.

Nope, and I won't buying any. I don't buy overpriced bullion coins. It is just an ounce of silver.

Just got one............... Thanks for the reminder.

Although I am sure there is pretty tight tolerances in the manufacture of these, I would rather buy one sight-seen rather than sight-unseen, even from the mint.

I will pick up a couple when they become available locally.

Yes. Got me my '04 SAC's too!!!!

The silver price increase may increase demand (where's that wrong economics textbook?) but it will not affect the mintage. They'll make the same number and probably sell out by Father's Day regardless of it all.

I'll order a handfull tonight when I get home.

Just ordered one today.

mercurynut · April 27, 2004 6:03AM

Yep ordered mine today!

Kriek · April 27, 2004 6:06AM

Just started a Proof SAE collection for my girlfriend.

Q: What are the odds of getting a PR69DCAM?

Fragmentum · April 27, 2004 6:07AM

Yep, just ordered a gazillion of 'em. In todays market (hell, even tomorrows market...) they will be easy to get your money out of them....

Hey, that's a great idea! I think I'll do the same for my wife and my daughter. silver lady's for the ladies in my life.

A: just a guess but how does 1/581 sound?

Kriek · April 27, 2004 7:35AM

Heh, I was hoping for 1/100

jasbucks · April 27, 2004 7:47AM

I got my ASE's and Sacs today also. The proof ASE's look great. Have not looked at the Sacs yet.

I think I remember reading in CW, that mintage on the PF ASE's is being raised to 850,000 this yr.

bulloncoins · May 3, 2004 2:31PM

Have a subscription for three a year. One for me, one for the little neice and nephew. I get mine when they come. They have to wait for Santa to bring theirs!

That's correct. For as long as I can remember, the mintage was 750,000. I guess the reason for the increase is that last year was a sell out.
