I have purchased several American Silver Eagles for each of my young grandsons and have hopes of completing a collection for each of them. Are there to be no 2010 Silver Eagles?   11-16-2009, 06:36 PM   #2 (permalink) BNB Analytics Coin Collector   Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Los Angeles, CA Posts: 1,875 My Mood: Blog Entries: 1 Welcome aboard..

There will be 2010 Silver Eagles. Make sure that your grandson's are into coin collection before giving them "their" collection. I dont want to hear another story about a teenager buying a big mac with a silver eagle.

Just no proofs, right? Or was that just '09.   11-17-2009, 07:51 AM   #5 (permalink) taurus876 Senior Member   Join Date: May 2006 Posts: 400 Quote: Originally Posted by BNB Analytics Really?

So nobody really knows if there will or will not be 2010 silver eagle proofs.   11-17-2009, 01:29 PM   #6 (permalink) bmarti7 Junior Member   Join Date: Nov 2009 Location: Austin, Texas Posts: 2 My Mood: Thanks so much for responses. I learned that you can subscribe at the US Mint for 2010 Silver Eagles - none will be minted during 2009. I have been sticking to MS69 First Strikes and I don't know when/if those will be offerred. The coins are currently in my daughter's capable hands - the boys are 2 and 3 (I know, she's crazy, but they are so beautiful) - and will not be given the option to "spend" them. I once spent a beautiful, old Morgan silver dollar that my grandpa gave me on SweetTarts!!!   11-17-2009, 02:16 PM   #7 (permalink) silvrluvr Senior Member     Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Minnesota Posts: 883 My Mood: I'm working on a proof ASE set. VERY beautiful coins for the money. I need about 13 more of them and then I will move on to something else. I have all of the most expensive ones already except for the '95W. I have all of the statehood quarters in silver proofs as well. They really shine! lol I'm gonna save up for some gold, maybe a proof buffalo. __________________ -Jeff in MN _______________________________________ Knowledge, patience, discipline.
