I'm glad you mentioned the $2.35 premium. I'm always arguing with people who thing the ridiculous premiums currently on ASEs is the Mint's fault. Personally, I think the Mint should charge a little more. Also, I think people should be allowed to buy bullion directly from the mint, maybe a very limited quantity, like a roll. I've purchased only about 8 ASEs since 2020 because I refuse to pay those premiums.
SW, the public should be allowed to purchase the ASE’s from the US Mint and not just the dealers. These dealers buy them for just a couple of dollars over spot price and then they mark them up to a ridiculous price for maximum profit. After you purchase them from the dealers there is little chance that you will ever make your money back,so it appears that only one person is making a profit from sales and it’s only the dealers. Why is the US Mint supporting only one kind of customer and not everyone. This has the hallmarks of a monopoly and the individual customer is taken advantage of.
I would love to see you make a video like this one about the differences of the Morgan and Peace Dollars. Thank you for this video I didn't realize some of the differences.
My question would be, why would I pay the US mint 60-70 bucks when APMEX is selling the 2022 unc, in its box and with CoA for about $45 probably sold out by now
Hi, Wolv. There are six different finishes on the Silver Eagle. There is the bullion finish, and there are the four different finishes in the 25th Anniversary Set of five coins. The 2011 Mint State Enhanced Finish coin is a one-year example. There is also the newest and sixth finish, the Enhanced Reverse Proof. *TYU*
Thanx for the info. I think too many people confuse the bullion and the mint marked uncirculated ASE. The enhanced reverse proof is the best of the best followed by the enhanced uncirculated. I'd like to see more of them in the upcoming years.
How do you know if you have 1989 W American Silver Eagle Bullion Coins or 1989 S American Silver Eagle Bullion Coins? is the only way to know is if you have the org. packaging?
Agreed! Many differences throughout this series. I Love the 2021 T-1’s as best Eagle of all time! Closely followed by the ‘88’s and ‘89’s due to their oftentimes semi-prooflike nature and sometimes fantastic toning!! And the 2006 3 coin proof set(s) are quite nice too. The 2006 three coin gold set is on my bucket list of hopefully one day coins’!
Ok it took me a while, but APMEX repackages bullion ASE in “official” US mint boxes, then right next to it in the same box is the W minted coin for $100 very deceitful on their part. It looked to me like an un burnished. Thanks for putting out this info. It’s a jungle out there
I get the bullion eagles for $3-4 over spot from a dealer. But the eagles from the mint are $80-90. Screw that! In the end they're both just 1oz silver.
S.W. that E.R.P. is absolutely my favorite of all the silver eagles. I don't have that 2019 that you have, but it's on my Santa list every year !! 🤣🤣 I must be on the naughty list up at the N. Pole ?? 🤬🤬🤬
Q1 Does the U.S. Mint release mintage numbers? Tens of millions of business strikes seems like a lot. Q2 Does the Mint release an list of the official dealers? I'd like to compare prices from dealer to dealer just for fun. Q3 How many monster boxes are made each year? Does the Mint price a monster box the same way as individual coins? (X amount over spot)
i have a 5oz 2002 silver eagle replica medal with the initials LB at the bottom left of liberty, i have been trying to find out about these initials, it is a proof coin cheers
The proof coin is unmistakable and could never be confused. However when comparing uncirculated to the burnished coin the difference is also remarkable. Even though they aren't placed on a flat surface, @ 7:22 the eagle depiction on the 2 coins look entirely different. Not only is the 'burnished/matte' coin MUCH more highly detailed, it looks like a completely different eagle altogether, aside from the missing mint mark. For starters, the branch looks far thicker on the minted coin, the wing angle is different and the eagle's head is different. Wth?
What about the difference between the U.S. Mint website crashing and some people were able to order the 2019-S enhance proof silver American eagle? After all, back on November 19, 2019 I tried to order the 2019-S but the stupid website crashed because of Ryder’s stupid bots and I wanted to order it wearing my tutu and Mrs. Silver Honda‘s bra, lipstick and her heels for nothing.
Correct I didn't say otherwise. However the UNC Silver eagle with the W Mint mark is on the Burnished Planchette. Yes it's known as a Burnished Silver Eagle but the US Mint calls it Uncirculated.
At about 5:38, “They may be called a Burnished uncirculated coin. These are the ones sold to dealers for sale to the public. They are listed as BU, and, when you google that, it is Brilliant Uncirculated. Enjoyed the video!
You covered all the bases I think except for the Enhanced Uncirculated finish. They came out with those in 2013 as part of a special set.

Ya should have been buying lol
Thanks for an informative refresher on these differences among the ASE strikes.
Good primer for collectors !!!

Nice job of explaining... thank you.
Good Morning SW!!🍵 Thankyou for all the clarification! Also for your explanation of what makes an ASE burnished!!
Very helpful video, thanks
Thank you for watching!
I would love to see you make a video like this one about the differences of the Morgan and Peace Dollars. Thank you for this video I didn't realize some of the differences.
Good job explaining the different grades and finishes!
Great job.

I had the enhanced reverse proof in the video.. Thanks Donald

Very informative, thank you
Thank you!
We'd be able to SEE more "detail" (9:20) if the coins were not moving in your hands but rather still on a table top.
Great video thank you. Love ASE 😎👍🇺🇸
Thank you!
Nailed it SW 👍
How do you know if you have 1989 W American Silver Eagle Bullion Coins or 1989 S American Silver Eagle Bullion Coins? is the only way to know is if you have the org. packaging?
It would have a S or W Mint mark on the reverse. If no mint mark it's a bullion Silver Eagle.. Bullion coins don't have mint marks...
Agreed! Many differences throughout this series. I Love the 2021 T-1’s as best Eagle of all time!

Why is the "U" wrong on the 2021 coin?
Ok it took me a while, but APMEX repackages bullion ASE in “official” US mint boxes, then right next to it in the same box is the W minted coin for $100 very deceitful on their part. It looked to me like an un burnished. Thanks for putting out this info. It’s a jungle out there
What about first day of issue?
Not a fan unless I can get a good deal
I've always wondered, if a coin DOES NOT display a mint mark are there any other means of identifying where it was minted?
I believe the straps on the monster box.. So you would need to buy a sealed monster box of 500 coins :)
I get the bullion eagles for $3-4 over spot from a dealer. But the eagles from the mint are $80-90. Screw that! In the end they're both just 1oz silver.
Great video
Excellent video!

I have the 2021 t2, signed, first day of issue, d cam. It covers all the bases.
I was thrilled to get the 2023 reverse d cam morgan and peace dollar, proof 70
Awesome! Congrats!
you missed the best finish of all...the one off enhanced uncirculated from the west point mint in 2013
Only because I do not have that coin. Thanks for letting me know
That's one coin you definitely need👍👍
The 2013 W special enhanced uncirculated silver eagle, which fits into the burnished category, you forgot to cover.
Yes. Because I do not own that coin yet.. Thanks for letting me know
@@SilverWolverine95
You should buy that coin. It's a 1 year only issue!
i have a 5oz 2002 silver eagle replica medal with the initials LB at the bottom left of liberty, i have been trying to find out about these initials, it is a proof coin cheers
Thanks for sharing I hope 🤞 the public can understand that their is a different between business strike and the burnished coin 🪙

Love silver eagles but right now they're over priced it would be different if the US Mint made few of them then I could see them charging more
HI Wolvie I like ASE :-))
Just hit the 100 like 👍
Thanks
I got a 2013 for 37 bucks. Ouch.

Lol..
@@rockysuperstar1 good evening sir !!
BU stands for Brilliant Uncirculated, not “Burnished”.
