Am I correct that these ASEs come out every year from the West Point Mint in unlimited mintages? Was there a time when it changed from a set mintage to unlimited? This is the coin (for 2023) I'm talking about: https://catalog.usmint.gov/american-eagle-2023-one-ounce-silver-uncirculated-coin-23EG.html These are the coins that come in the simple square box.
2006 was the first year of the burnished silver Eagles. 2009 and 2010 did not have any burnished silver Eagles (no proofs in 2009 either). They have not had announced mintages for a while (outside of special releases like the 2021). Here is one source with a mintage table (through 2022): https://findbullionprices.com/blog/american-silver-eagle-mintages/
Thanks for your info. I collect American Silver Eagle One Ounce Coins. Your information only list Bullion, Proof, and Uncirculated (Burnished). The Miles Standish Presents AMERICAN SILVER EAGLES, lists other types of ASE's, i.e., Reverse Proof, and others. I assume that the inventory figures for other ASE's are included into the three categories that you list. Anyway, thanks again for your work.
They have made bullion at the West Point Mint as well but those don't have a mint mark so there is no way to tell it came from there unless you have a sealed monster box that identifies that the coins came from there (or there is a year where bullion wasn't made anywhere else).
OK, thanks. But do the Uncirculated ones from West Point (with the mint mark) always (so far) have the burnished finish?
If you don't count the 2013-W Enhanced Uncirculated finish Silver Eagle, then all the other uncirculated Eagles with the "W" mint mark are burnished. On a related note, the 2011 25th anniversary set had an uncirculated Eagle with an "S" mint mark (which I believe is the only burnished unc Eagle to not come out of West Point).
