Updated final sales total for the 2012 San Francisco Silver Eagle Set

The mint announced late last week that the final (un-audited) sales figures for the 2012 Silver Eagle proof set are about 10% lower than previously announced, reduced from 251,302 to 224,981 sets...making the 2012-S Reverse Proof Silver Eagle the fourth lowest mintage issue of the series. That seems like a pretty big deal to me. Did I miss some postings on this announcement, or are you all just burnt out on these modern rarities?

According to Mint News Blog: "...A survey of recent concluded auctions shows prices for raw sets now mostly falling into the $170 to $180 range. Prices for NGC Proof-70 Sets have been around $270 to $290. The PCGS Proof-70 Sets, which show up with much less frequency, have sold for a wide range of prices between $450 to $600. It will be interesting to see if the updated final sales figure contributes to a bump up in secondary market prices..."

Here's another thread on the final mintage of this set.

Doesn't that make it the third lowest, or am I missing one? Whoops, forgot about 2 coins in the 2011 set.

 

So we aren't talking about individual coin sales then? Now you got me wondering how many ASE's total were made/sold.

 

I'm laughing a little at the people that sent their sets back, just a little.....

 

I cancelled 5 of my sets mainly because of the lack of quality control, despite the mintage I don't really see these coins commanding a huge premium unless they are TPG'd PF70 First strikes... oitherwise they are all selling for a little more then the mint offered them for. Don't feel bad for me, I mean I did get 10 other sets of which the quality was all horrible so i've got mine... just saved my money on the rest of the crap so we could all enjoy lower mintages

 

this set is dead. the price is down. inter dealer bid $135.00 ask $145.00. average buying price is around $110.00 to $115.00. that is dealers buying offer to us.

 

I wouldn't put the nail in these babies yet. They are still selling for over $175/set on ebay over the past few days.

 

all those future annual two pieces american eagle silver dollar set with w mint mark coming out from the u.s. mint should be a bullion related coin. except with D mint mark. otherwise, it will be too many. even with a reverse proof.
