If you would have invested $10 in the S&P at the end of 1986, you'd have $139 at the end of 2013. http://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~adamodar/New_Home_Page/datafile/histretSP.html
Thanks Ken for the average issue prices by year. I've edited the original post to include the numbers.
Phil, those numbers I gave you were the average cost for an ounce of silver during that year. The cost for the eagles would probably be a buck or two north. Gotta give the devil......er, dealer, his due.
Thanks again Ken. I've edited the original post once again to include a bone for our brimstone friend.
Thanks for the mintage numbers. Imagine how many 2013 ASEs are still in sealed monster boxes. I'll pass on them even at $2 over spot.

Looks like we are on pace to exceed 2013's mintage. It is amazing the popularity of this wonderful bullion coin.
The mint is selling a lot of these guys. Here is an interesting article about their sales that I found on coinflation. http://srsroccoreport.com/u-s-mint-...-week-than-gold-eagles-over-past-three-years/
1990 mintage is 5,840,110 not 5,840,210 as shown from u.s. mint site. the rest is tally with the mint site.

The mintages from 2008 and on are insane. No way these years will ever be worth more than melt plus a modest ASE premium.
This past weekend I got a 1998 at the coin show for $25 and last night got/won a lot of 4 for $108 total ($27 each): 1987, 2000, 2001 and 2002. Based the averages above, I came out a few bucks ahead. Rob
