<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SilverHaired, post: 1304312, member: 31027&quot;]I don&#039;t have many silver eagle samples but I think I found a difference between regular eagles (no mint-mark bullion) and 2011-S eagles (from the 25th anniversary set) and the bullion from the 25th anniversary set (suspected to be from San Francisco mint).&nbsp; The coin community will have to check their eagle from various years to verify.&nbsp; The question is whether only 2011-S and 2011(S) have these markings.&nbsp; The markings are in the pictures below.&nbsp; The pictures in order are 2006, 2010, 2011 from anniversary set, 2011-S from anniversary set, and 2011-W from anniversary set.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]146551.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]146552.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]146553.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]146554.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]146555.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The pictures were taken with a hand-held USB microscope.&nbsp; One needs a 5x loupe to see the difference.&nbsp; The markers are horizontal notches on the tail feathers that can only be seen in the 2011-S and (presumably) 2011(S).</p><p><br /></p><p>Comments and other findings welcome.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
