WASHINGTON - The United States Mint will begin accepting orders for the Bald Eagle Commemorative Coin Program at 12 Noon (ET) on January 15, 2008.
Surcharges collected from the sale of Bald Eagle Commemorative Coins are authorized to be paid to the American Eagle Foundation of Tennessee to further its work.
The Bald Eagle Commemorative Coins will be available in six individual coin options: a $5 gold coin, a silver dollar coin, and a half-dollar clad coin each available in proof and uncirculated versions. Also available will be a Three-Coin Proof Set, a Coin and Medal Set, and a Young Collector's Set. Additionally, later this year, the annual United States Mint American Legacy CollectionTM will feature a Bald Eagle Proof Silver Dollar.
The maximum mintage across all Bald Eagle Commemorative Coin options, including sets, is limited to 100,000 $5 gold coins, 500,000 silver dollar coins and 750,000 clad half-dollars. Household order limits will be in effect for the first 30 days for most products. Each product description includes information on that product's production and household limits.
Orders will be limited to 100 units per household for each of the individual proof and uncirculated coin options. Each of these six individual options comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and is packaged in a custom box with the program name.
Orders for the Bald Eagle Three-Coin Proof Set, which features one proof each of the $5 gold coin, the silver dollar coin and the clad half-dollar, will be limited to one per household. The coins are displayed in a custom presentation box containing a Certificate of Authenticity. This special set is limited to 25,000 units.
The Bald Eagle Coin and Medal Set features an uncirculated Bald Eagle Silver Dollar and bronze Bald Eagle Medal from the National Wildlife Refuge System Centennial Medal Series. The set highlights the journey of the Bald Eagle from near extinction to its recent removal from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife. The Coin and Medal Set is limited to 50,000 units with a limit of five units per household.
The Bald Eagle Young Collector's Set, an option especially designed for children, features the uncirculated Bald Eagle Half-Dollar. This fun and educational option marks the return of the popular "Mint Kids" with a new adventure that teaches children about the recovery and restoration of our national emblem.

<< <i>It is cheaper to buy the proofs in singles
$344.85 vs. $369.95
Dan >>
That's because there's no introductory pricing on the 3 Proof set.
Not sure why one would buy the set, unless of course PCGS/NGC have another "special designation" label planned.

The set has a limited mintage of only 25,000 boxes. For people that collect these in Original packaging, this is a big deal.
I always preferred 2 or 3 coin sets.....

They'll be lucky to sell half of the 1000,000 limit on these at those prices. Ouch!

You're right, and if PCGS gives it a "special label, all the better!"
<< <i> For people that collect these in Original packaging, this is a big deal. >>
Then why do so many dealers trash original mint packaging? Storage space? If there's a premium for original packaging I wish more dealers would realize it.
<< <i>To bad you can't get the medal w/o the set! They force you to buy the stinkin set, all I want is the medal. >>
Check the Mint website, under the Medals tab. That's probably the one you'll get, we'll have to see, thus you can buy a single medal.
<< <i>Too expensive $5 gold regardless of options. >>
It's a 1/4 oz isn't it ??
I think so. So the melt would be $220. I think this is a sign of things to come.
I predict:
Probably $1000 for AGE 1oz Proof
$550 for the 1/2
$300 for the 1/4
$150 for the 1/10
This is the down side of the increase in the price of Gold.
I am buying just one this time but for flippers thats a lot of boxes to deal with.
Box of 20

And a NEW KEY coin (2008 AGE) is in the making
<< <i>I will buy one of each because I think they are good designs. I wish they would offer a 3 coin set. >>
They do it just cost's more. $369.95 according to the list in the first post.

<< <i>Then why do so many dealers trash original mint packaging? Storage space? If there's a premium for original packaging I wish more dealers would realize it. >>
There's certainly a premium for original packaging when it comes to empty 1999 Silver Proof Set cases.
<< <i>I asked that question too - evidently no real pics released yet. stupid mint. >>
Real Pics are at the Mint now. Search under 2008 Bald Eagle.
All offerings now have real pics.

NICE! >>
Very nice!! I hope PCGS has a special designation label for the set.
<< <i>To bad you can't get the medal w/o the set! They force you to buy the stinkin set, all I want is the medal. >>
I think the medal will be available long after the sets are gone. Since there's no way of knowing when these would be delivered. I'll just have to wait to pick up some silver $ on the bay. Leaving next week for warmer weather and to bring my wife back to the U.S., but won't be back until Easter. With those big mintages, the prices will drop for coins graded 69 sooner or later.

The medal has been available since 2003 & can be purchased seperately. It was part of the 2003 National Wildlife Refugee Series....

AND
All the coins are sold before the price increase. (1 Month).
<< <i>I Say the 3-coin set doen't last a week.
AND

I'll go along with you.
Anyone else care to chime in?
Looking for reasonable silver lots (rolls or bars preferred). PM me with what you have.
I will get a small amount, maybe a set, too
<< <i>but why didn't the Mint include a 2-coin set of these along with all the other combinations they've come up with..... very disappointing! >>
They need to save a few coins for the Legacy Set.
I'll go for the dollar.
<< <i>The dollar is nice, but the chicks are butt ugly on the half. They made the egg the focal point - what's with that? I >>
If any flippers buy quantities of the half dollar, the egg will serve as a handy indicator of price appreciation. When the egg hatches - so will the value awaken from it's hopeful slumber.
hint : as the egg will be metal - it will not be harmed by anyone sitting on it for long periods

<< <i>but why didn't the Mint include a 2-coin set of these along with all the other combinations they've come up with..... very disappointing! >>

I'll expand on that thought..
For the Silver $1:
25,000 for the 3 coin set (Proof) and
50,000 for the Legacy (proof) and
50,000 for the coin and medal set (Unc.)
Leaves
375,000 singles to be split between Unc. and Proofs.
Not to interested in the Half Dollar. It's not even Silver. I'll get a couple, but that's it.
As for the Gold:
25,000 goes to the 3 coin set leaving 75,000 singles split between Proof and Unc.
