Message:: [QUOTE="National dealer, post: 17281, member: 487"]Most dealers trade Silver Eagles between each other at a slight premium over melt regardless of the date. The 1986 and 1996 are the only BU dates that trade at higher levels. When selling singles at retail all of the older dates will bring small premiums, again with 86 and 96 bringing the most. As for getting MS69 and MS-70, you can submit an entire box and not get one out of them. MS-68 is really the norm for Silver Eagles. Anything less is really a poor strike. We have submitted several thousand over the years, and have NEVER gotten one back in MS-70. The difference between MS-68 and MS-70 is so small that I can guarantee that 99% of the people out there couldn't tell. If you are looking to put some rolls away, buy the 1996 rolls. They currently have a greysheet ask of $31, the highest value of any BU Silver Eagle.[/QUOTE]
