    1986, the biggie

    All pristine and in a book not finished, no marks, prints …..not slabbed.
    The 86 is beginning to tone along an edge. I would rather sell them to someone here. I cannot stomach going to a coin shop. I will post photo….Do not pay attention to book slot except 86 and 96….

    you can go to ProvidentMetals.com and see their pricing for various UNC ASEs. There's also APMEX.com amongst others that you can check pricing on.

    There's also a thread here tracking silver and ASEs prices ... I'm looking for it.

    Most folks are going to want the box and COA.
    Do you have them?

    Hello, I think some of those are in the wrong holes in your dansco ;).

    Box and COA, isn't that just for proofs? Bullion issues come in rolls. I don't think there are any key dates for the bullion silver eagles.

    I have never bought any business strikes. You could be right. Wasn't there red and blue boxed Eagles? Both proof?

    I have a blue box proof eagle, I haven't seen a red box one but that means nothing, I haven't looked at many proof silver eagles. As for business strikes, I have only bought from Apmex or similar, but I believe they just come in a monster box with these tubes inside: upload_2023-2-1_14-14-22.png

    I guess there's the burnished ones, maybe those come in a red box. I can't really tell the difference between the burnished and the bullion issues, except for the presence of a mintmark.

    Box and COA ... his dansco shows a couple proof slots but they do not contain proofs.
    the 2002 W Proof coin is a 2013; 2003 slot is a 2014 and 2003-W Proof is a 2015 ASE

    Well, @alurid did post a price list for all silver eagles, so that's your best answer. The 1986 is the first year of issue, but not a low mintage so there's not a premium on that one. These are all bullion issues right?

    Proofs that are not in proof holders are impaired.
    American silver eagles were just bullion to me, but I guess people collect them. Since they are not circulating coins I have little interest. I mean I guess you could spend one as a dollar, but what's the point?
    In the old days those silver half dollar commens circulated as 50 cent pieces.

    The problem is if you ask a dozen ppl what the value is you'll get a dozen different answers.
    For instance the 1986 is from $24.65 (spot price) to about $75.

    We do not know your level of knowledge and your expectations.

    A coin shop will give you spot price of silver mostly irregardless of condition.

    An online shop will give you more (see ProvidentMetals.com as an example) but some may look at toning as damage and thus give you less once they receive them.

    Someone here or else where if sold in the proper forum section would be between two large-spread values.

    Myself, I look at toning around the edges as damage for ASEs.
    Some people like toning.

    I collect them myself. I have them from 1986 onwards except the last 2 years, plus a bunch more as I also collect silver as ASEs (I exclude silver commems, coins etc as my silver collection). But everyone will be different.

    The link I gave to ProvidentMetals is fairly updated and will give you the most accurate price for valuation. You'll notice each year could be different. They list each year out.
    So you'll have to do some legwork yourself to figure out an approx of what you want. If we throw out a number someone's going to ask why that number ... and the spread as shown below for just the 1986 is from $24.65 (spot) to about $75.

    Whereas the usacoinbook one I believe is static in time.


    with ProvidentMetals, the 1986 (I have some too) is listed as this:
    upload_2023-2-2_8-39-46.png


    So they sell them for $75+
    and buyback at $44.60
    Spot is at $25ish
    So yours is valued at around those prices, or less, or more dependent upon who's buying and the venue you use.

    FYI, the UNC ASEs don't come in a box. If bought in less than 20 then they were normally sold in flips. At 20 they came in those green topped tubes. Then there's a Monster Box which I believe mine one is 500 coins (25 tubes of 20 each tube).

    Good luck

    Thank you for your concise and thorough explanation.
    Regards, Rich

    Mine came from a local store and online at JB Bullion.

    May I ask in your opinion what is the best silver coinage to accumulate.
    .?

    everyone is going to vary.

    My personal preference is ASEs for Silver accumulation.
    For instance, i just bought from APMEX a sale of a tube of various year ASEs for $660ish (spot + $8.99 for each).
    https://www.apmex.com/product/27050..._campaign=02022023-category96064-EARLY-ACCESS

    it seems like a good deal comparatively .... hopefully ...

    Of course Canada has nice coins, Australia, Mexico, etc
    It depends if you only look at US Mint bullion coins or not (like I do),
    or if you look at other countries bullion coins,
    or if you also consider rounds, or bars ...

    Junk silver is fun too.

    The upside on junk silver is sometimes you actually hit a coin worth more than the bullion content. For example, I bought some silver halves from my buy/sell gold guy (slightly over spot but not much) which he let me cherry pick. I pulled some exc condition Franklins, a nice Booker T/Carver commem, and a 1919-S Walker in at least VG which was a nice pull. So, you get your silver and sometimes you can get lucky too.

    Hi there and thank you in advance for any insights on the eagle. This coin is stated to have a strike through and is graded ms69 in First Strike. It was also stated that this was overlooked by PCGS when graded. Is that even possible since the imperfection is clearly visible with the naked eye. Why would PCGS not designate this as an error coin ? Or maybe it is not a strike through? In your opinion, is this a desirable Eagle especially since it is a First Strike. Also, with the price guide very high for an 86 in First Strike, would $900 be a good deal on this? Or is that imperfection hurting it's value.

    Thank you!
