I know there were 47,002 2007 1/2 Ounce Gold American Eagles minted. Does anyone know how many have the W vs how many do not have the W? Also what is the real difference between the two coins? I am talking about uncirculated not the proof coins. Thanks!
2007 1/2 oz AGE without (w) is a bullion gold coin. total mintage is 47,002 2007w 1/2 oz AGE total mintage is 13,358 2006w to 2008w 1/2 oz AGE combined total mintage is 78,334 2006w to 2008w 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz. combined total mintage is 272,664 lowest mintage is 2008w 1/4 oz AGE mintage is 9,200.
Thanks!, So the 2007w 1/2 oz AGE total mintage of 13,358....What are these? Are they the proofs? Whats the difference in these vs the bullion ones without the W? Thanks!
The 2007 W (Burnished) Uncirculated Gold Eagles are not the proofs, they are special gold eagles minted specifically for collectors, and they have the W mint mark (West Point). The mintage figures for the 2007 Gold Eagles. Bullion 1/2 oz - 47,002 Proof 1/2 oz - 44,025 W (Burnished) 1/2 oz - 13,358 Here's a quote from the mint about the W mint coins The United States Mint American Eagles
Thanks for the info...So is the only difference between the W and non W are the burnished blanks and the fact that they are hand loaded? Also what are burnished blanks? Thanks!
you mention 47,002 mintage. i think you got the 2007 without (w). check your coin again. if you are a new comer. i think that's is. 2007.
I do have the 2007 without the W...So these are the bullion version not the colelctors version which means its really just worth its weight in gold...WHich is fine since I got it for good luck piece for my daughter not to make money...I am just curious.... the only difference between the W and non W are the burnished blanks and the fact that they are hand loaded? Also what are burnished blanks? Thanks!
currently apmex is quoted bid $514.34, ask $579.89 plus shipping charge of $24.95. this is for bullion am eagle 1/2 oz gold. currently the price for 2007w am eagle 1/2 oz unc gold is retail between $1,000.00 to $1,100.00 each plus shipping.
That makes sense, so the burnished W's have a smoother surface than the non W bullion but are not as shiny as proof's? That all makes sense to me now, I really appreciate the info. I bought my non W bullion 2007 1/2 ounce GAE off of ebay this week for $550 including shipping and its MS69 so it seems I got a good deal for a coin that my daughter will be handling which is what the bullion are for since its not really the collectors version worth much more than the price of gold?
Elaine, it also looks like the 2007W am eagle 1/2 oz unc gold are going for about$700 on ebay and are either MS69 or MS70. These seem like quite a steal. What do u think?
original cost of 2007w am eagle 1/2 oz unc gold is $379.95. during that time. the cost of 2007 bullion am eagle 1/2 oz gold is very near $379.95. so the collectors who bought 07 with w gain more.
