I have the silver and gold reverse Eagles. I like them very much....:thumb: As for future reverse coins....I think they will make them just don't know on which coins they will be on. How about a Reverse Proof Gold Buffalo in 2011 for the 5th YEAR ANNV...........:bow::bow::bow::bow::bow:
When did you get your reverse proofs? Boy, would I LOVE to have a reverse gold. Just don't wanna pay 3k for one
i love my 06 ASE reverse proof. The mint is a hard cookie to read! They dont allways do the right or even smart thing.... so who knows what they might do in the future. My guess, if they do it again, they will stick to the higher priced metals to help boost sales! Lord knows they dont need to boost silver bullion sales of course that is the 1 mteal i can afford to buy
I like the way you think. Let's add a Silver reverse proof buffalo and really crash the mints website. The more I think about it, the more I like it. Great idea Chief.
Hard to predict, I thought the ASE Rev. proof would go through the roof on resales but now you can find them in Proof 70 for very reasonable prices!! The proof 69's are worth very little more than the raw ones. Seems all Proofs Gold and Silver eagles should grade out Proof 70 or better!! Maybe 250,000 was too many to be a true rarity, I think if they do some again, keep the mintage down around 50,000, seeing as how prices will be much higher now!! (Let's see how the '09 AGE's sell at $1300. plus)
Another or even a regular, reverse proof would be nice but I would prefer that the U.S. Mint get its act together and strike regular 2009 proof silver eagles first. I am not pleased that these coins are not being offered at all this year.
LOL! Good point. Some people are hoping they can just get back to the basics! I think the reverse proof is cool. I don't own one yet but I suspect I will sooner or later. I'd like to see them again for the 30th anniversary set. That'll be a big year if they don't permanently discontinue them now.
I think they will, foreign mints have done them...and it seemed the reverse proofs issued in 2006 were pretty popular. I'd imagine a release of one every now and again.
I too have worried over the fact that the US Mint might discontinue the American Silver Eagle. If this be the case, does anyone have any thoughts as to what might replace it? Perhaps the Obama Dollar!
I've taken CT member SirCharlie's advice and written to both of my state Senators regarding the issue of the loss of the 2009 ASE & AGE Proof collectors coins in hopes they will voice my sentiment to the appropriate agencies in Washington DC. I recommend others to follow suit with your elected officials if you feel so compelled to have your voice heard and to defend these coin programs. Many can be readily contacted via web forms available at senate.gov or house.gov and of course there's also the White House / President and the Director of the US Mint
I was thinking about buying one of those one kilo silver Mexican Libertads (32+ ounces and 110mm in diameter), don't think they are called reverse proofs, but they sure look that way to me Here's a much better photo from a recent eBay auction:
