<p>[QUOTE=&quot;goldmember, post: 1007425, member: 19304&quot;]1996 was a low mintage year for the silver eagles at 3.6 million (vs. 30 million for 2009).&nbsp; This means little to pure bullion investors, but it commands a premium to collectors.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure it should be MORE than the proof, but it is close.&nbsp; Graysheet bid price has the uncirculated coin at $40 and the proof at $56.&nbsp; Not sure what the populations of MS 69 and MS70 coins are for 1996, but that is probably where the additional $$ comes from.&nbsp; Many believe that silver eagles will take off for collectors after they end the series.&nbsp; If you really want a 1996, watch for the raw coins.&nbsp; Many are still in great shape and I picked one up for about $6 over melt that should go MS68 or 69.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
