<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RickieB, post: 723778, member: 2486&quot;]Folks..just for your information when the USAs Gold Eagle Program started up again in 1986 the Gold, and Silver Eagles were strictly bullion both Proofs and Uncs. That has not changed! They are both considered bullion the main difference is that the Proofs are minted for collectors!</p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;W&quot; mint marked coins I am talking about were the unc coins that were struck by mistake with proof dies! The dies were not polished, therefore rendering them with the &quot;W&quot; MM and a unc finish due to the dies not being polished. These are error coins and exist in only the&nbsp; 1/4 and 1/10 oz fractionals.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the 1/2 oz uncs go, the better coin to have is the 1991 if you can find it! It still has Roman Numerals for the date and will cost you a good size premium.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope this does not confuse the issue...all AGE, ASE, Buffalo&#039;s, Spouse and APE coins are Bullion!! Now as far as collectible is concerned there are some of them worth a higher premium than others, this will be determined by market demand (availability)....I know this to be fact as I once owned almost the entire set from 1986 thru 2007 when I collected coins....Now in the future a complete set of Spouse Coins may demand a significant premium....just as would a set of commems...take the Jackie Robinson as an example....the 1995 W Silver Eagle Proof was avail in a Gold set only.. it will cost you 5K..it is still a bullion coin however, it has enourmus appeal. There are may examples like this..these are but just a few.</p><p>If you are asking about what is the best bullion coin to own...I simply told you what I had owned that proved to be significant in price appreciation...plus the fact that I was buying gold when it was 300-600 per oz.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this clears the confusion on what bullion is...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>RickieB[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
