So far I have established 3 different Silver Eagle privy,s, but I am sure there more I have seen the following, Star, eagle and the US Army release coming up, so if there are any dealers that want to chime in ? or a Silver Eagle expert that would be terrific.
There are collectors that will pay a premium. Some wish to have a Silver Eagle set that is as complete as possible. I gave up on that several years back when I got pissed at all the road blocks the mint put in my way.
Me too and don't forget the 2025 Laser Engraved American Eagle One Ounce Silver Proof Coin https://www.usmint.gov/2025-laser-engraved-american-eagle-one-ounce-silver-proof-coin-25EALE.html
I remember the Royal Mint starting to use lasers around 20 years ago to try and combat counterfeiters as they could embed micro engraved security "signatures" that were virtually impossible to copy, one of which was holograms and 12 sided coins when it was discovered that around the equivalent of $58 million of fake pound coins were circulating. I might buy one of these as it is a first of type and interesting. Privy marks are a great way of screwing more money out of us !
