<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ephyfe, post: 1604440, member: 37517&quot;]It&#039;s really all a numbers game and the numbers are low.&nbsp; Compare these numbers to the number of W-proof eagles produces (probably a million or so).&nbsp; The lower the mintage the better the coin does over time.&nbsp; I am assuming that people looked at the historic minatge of the Eagle and noticed this so I don&#039;t understand the pessimism?&nbsp; Once the people trying to flip their coins dries up the price starts to rise.&nbsp; If I didn&#039;t own it I would be tempted to try to get it on ebay for only a 10% premium if that&#039;s possible.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Louis Golino for</b> Coin Week</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;On December 6 the U.S. Mint notified the numismatic media of the final, unaudited number of 2012-S San Francisco American silver eagle proof sets sold this year, which is 224,981. The previous figure, released on July 6, was 251,302.</p><p>Collectors and buyers have been eagerly awaiting this number for months because it helps determine the secondary market value of the sets.</p><p>Because the number has not been audited, which will take place sometime next year, it could technically change, but probably not by much.</p><p>The number is significant for several reasons, but don’t expect an instant rise in prices now that we know there were about 25,000 cancelled orders in part because collectors were angry to learn that one of the coins in the set, the 2012-S proof silver eagle, was being sold in another set, the 2012 Making American History coin and currency set.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
