Did the 2000 American Silver Eagle Coin have a W on the reverse? I don't see it on this coin but the slab lists a W. Anyone? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...ategory=149933&_trkparms=algo=LVI&its=I&otn=2
I think that coin is from the Millennium Coin & Currency set and that is what the slab designates. No W on the coin though. TC
I could be wrong, but my recollection is that the West Point Mint didn't start producing MS SAE's (Satin Finish) until 2006 and that only lasted until 2008. I have always been under the impression that the MS Eagles were produced by the Philadelphia Mint prior to that. Chris
It's called a millenium issued American Silver Eagle coin and as you can see on the link it's called a 2000-W but does it actually have a W on the reverse like a 2006? anyone?
That's a bullion coin with no mm. But it was still struck at West Point. Thats way high for a bullion coin even slabbed. My main dealer has non-slabbed bullion ASEs for $3 over spot, and 1 slabbed by PCGS for $40.
Well if you look up millenium American Eagle 2000 on Teletrade then you see they go for way more than a regular bullion coin goes for. That's why I was asking about it for. :thumb:
There is no W mint mark. The TPGs slabbed ASEs from the Millennium set to show that they came specifically from that set, hence the premium. TC
Right, ok they don't have a W. So what makes them worth more than a regular 2000 P ASE? And how do you tell the difference? Here ya go! I found the info I needed so I thought I would share below! thanks for the input! -------------------------------------------------------------- At the time of their release Millennium coin and currency sets were one of the hottest collectibles to come along in years! Each set consists of a gem uncirculated 2000 silver eagle (struck at West Point), a one dollar note with "2000" in the serial number, and the 2000-D special-finish or "burnished" Sacagawea dollar (which can only be found in these sets) Just 75,000 of these sets were issued with the demand generally out-weighing the supply. Each millennium set comes housed in it's original folder with cover and informative booklet.
I am not 100% sure of this but I believe that the SAE bullion coins were minted in Philadelphia until 2000, and starting in 2001 they were minted at West Point. The Millennium set was released right about the time of the transition. TC
There was definitely a millennium set released, and the ASE was minted at WP. I had to look around alot to get info on it tho. Sometimes ya just look and look and other times it's truly easy. This search took some time. lol ---------------------------------------------------------------------- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Silver_Eagle#Special_issues In 2000, the Mint issued the "United States Millennium Coinage and Currency Set" which included a 2000 Silver Eagle bullion coin minted at West Point (but without a "W" mintmark), a 2000 Denver-minted Sacagawea Dollar with a burnished finish, and an uncirculated 1999 series one-dollar bill with a serial number beginning with the numbers "2000". The sets sold out at the issue limit of 75,000 units. In fewer than twenty known sets, the Sacagawea Dollars do not have a burnished finish.[27][28]
Hype. There is NO difference between the ASE form the Millenniumset and the regular bullion ASE. The coins had to be submitted still in the government holders because there was no why to tell otherwise.
I got one of these sets off of ebay earlier tonight. I'm gonna write myself a note to come back and post a pic. Yeah I wouldn't think there would be a difference unless Philly placed a mint mark on theirs and I don't think that happened.
It's a little murky but back in 2000 the Mint said that ALL of the 2000 ASE's were struck in West point so there would not be any such thing as a 2000 ASE struck at Philadelphia. Later references say that all ASE"S AFTER 2000 were struck at West Point leaving some question as to whether or not any of the 2000 were struck out side of West Point or not. Unfortunately the Annual Mint reports have degenerated down to just financial reports with no detailed operation reports so it is impossible to determine from then where the ASE's were struck.
Yeah I guess in order to have these graded you had to send in the whole package. Here's the seller's pics. Limited 75.000 set, must have been issued in cahoots with the Treasury dept. That's cool, I hope to make a premium unless it reaches out and talks to me, if ya see what I'm saying!!
