Hi , Could you give me some Input on the $399.00 Reverse proof fractional set that CSN just Listed ....I bought 2 sets ... They are the Fiji minted coins .......ty very much, Scott F.
As a coin collector and a registered set competitor, I do buy almost all pedigrees of the ASE, including the mint varieties, the same thing is also done with the Chinese Pandas, not having a mint mark, getting coins from a specific mint is very hard to prove after removal from the monster box's and makes the coins with a pedigree including the mint rare. Rarities amongst an otherwise massive overall mintage is still rare and worth a bit more than a standard coin.
It seems that the driving factor for these "Minted at" slabbed bullion ASE's is to create perceived rarity. Part of the fun of collecting is to have something quasi unique that only a few people can have. If you are a hardcore collector of ASE's (I'm not) and know that these gems exist, you will need it for your collection to be whole. The graded slab is your assurance that the item is genuine.
It would be interested to find if there is a minutiae of difference between the coins struck at the various Mints. Gimmick? Of course, just as the Registry is.
I agree!!
I agree with most of this... But I wouldn't call these gems lol However I can't wait to bust one out of the BS plastic lol I also agree that both these Slabbed ASE's and Registry sets are gimmick's..
With the WP mint, with the older type 1 S/E's the only difference between the uncircirculated/burnished silver eagles the WP mint sells directly to the public versus the ones sold to certified vendors in monster boxes is the W mint mark; otherwise, they are the exat same coin.
It would be like the Ford mortor co charging a huge premium by selling a couple thousand F-150 pickup trucks directly from the factory versus the millions sold directly to dealers. Even though they're the exact same truck, they expect a huge premium during resale if you can show evidence, (some mark on the truck), that it were purchased from the factory versusfrom a dealer.
No mint mark = No proof. I like the Eagles, but I am not paying extra for something that was minted in one location over another.
But it’s Philadelphia. That’s worth the premium
So you wouldn’t pay extra for a Cason City Morgan over a Philadelphia Morgan then ?
PROOFS ARE MINTED AND SOLD BY THE U.S. MINT UNSLABBED AND NOT GRADED. I BUY THAT SAME COIN PROOF GRADED SLABBED ON THE SECONDARY MARKET FOR LESS OR MAYBE A 5%-10% PREMIUM A COST THAT I AM WILLING TO PAY. LET SOMEONE ELSE BUY IT RAW FROM MINT SEND IT OUT TO BE GRADED PAYING FOR GRADING SERVICE PAYING FOR MAILING INSURANCE PAYING FOR SENDING AND RETURNING POSTAGE. I PAY ONCE PUT IT IN MY COLLECTION AND ENJOY HOLDING AND LOOKING AT IT OR THEM. 😂😊❤
Yes indeed interesting information.
One reason they sold so many that year is because I won the lottery that year and bought 50k Monster Boxes 😁😆😅🤣 Oh wait that was just a dream
If you can only stay in a dream lol
Merry Christmas Wolvie!
In 2015 I bought some 1/4oz. gold eagles. I got all my gold eagles out to look at and noticed the 2015's stood out. They were more yellow than the others. Didn't want to know what was different, I sold them.
Those were the real Eagles.
Sometimes Lables do make a big difference. Let's take the 1986 Silver eagle for example. Regular slab 100 dollars. 1986 (S) Struck in San Francisco. MS 69 350 dollars. MS 70 3500 dollars. 1987 (S) same thing. Struck in San Francisco MS 69 250 dollars. MS 70 2500 dollars. NGC prices.
I bought 10 1986 S PF70'S on EBAY in 1996 for 150.00 each according to my records. I been offered 1,500.00 for one. Not selling don't need the money. I hit the lottery years ago for 50 million. Been having fun collecting rare scarce date mint marked slabbed certified ASE'S.
Big like 48 my friend! Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information
Hi Silver Wolverine! Thanks for letting us all know. There doesn't seem to be any price difference between the Philadelphia and West Point Mint differences. And, based on the information you shared, there would be no way to prove that the bullion coins were struck in Philadelphia in 2015. I don't believe we can trust even the fact that the straps were still on the monster boxes, how would WE really know? If there is no mint mark on the coin, then I don't believe we can rely on the information provided by the seller, 2015, or any other year. Thanks for covering this topic! 😎
Neither NGC or PCGS would put something on the label that wasn't absolutely certifiable, Thats exactly why people buy them to start with, the guarantee that the coin is exactly what the label says.
@@ryan_B469 Great point! Thanks! I do trust NGC and PCGS! 😎
Thanks for the history behind these Monster box marked minting facility eagles. Yeah, if those slabs break, then you're out of luck and are beholden to the grading company's word for it.
HOW ARE THE SLABS GOING TO BREAK UNLESS YOUR JEALOUS WIFE TAKES A HAMMER TO THEM WHILE YOU ARE SPENDING HER INHERITANCE AT A COIN SHOW BUYING MORE SLABBED CERTIFIED ASE'S. 😮😮😢😂😊
I like American eagles, I have invested them. I have made it point to buy ones that are key years by buying extras of those while I buyed others.
I bought 2024s. Price gave it away. Cost about 2.39$. Good for ball markers on green.
Watch out for the newer ASE P mint slabbed coins also. I knew better, but took a gamble on one with the hope of selling it for a profit later. Two years later it had dropped like a rock in value so I sold it back to the online dealer I first bought it from for what I thought would be about half its original retail value. It gets worse. Once they had it in their possession they found some tiny milk spots on it which changed its status to a damaged coin. Milk spots can emerge at any time after grading no matter how careful your storage. I ended up selling it to them for melt. Lesson learned.
Even with the spots, aren't they worth more than just silver weight?
I do not pay extra for an older ASE. But I'm also not making a collection from every year or type. To each their own.
I have no problem with knowing where bullion coins are minted... but I can't imagine having one graded... that seems like a waste of money to me! Plus I won't send in any of my proof ASEs for grading... would hate to spend the money on a 69!
I do like my collection of ASE's however I don't care where they were minted on my bullion coins. I don't think my LCS cares much either!
As long as they are real, right?
This is exactly what I just recently came across. I decided that I wanted a 2011-S unc. I soon discovered that eBay is chock full of 2011 (S) bullion coins(over 40 million struck that year) that are slabbed. Meaning they were struck at SF mint, but of course don’t carry a mint mark. I wonder how many are buying these thinking that they are getting an actual 2011-S which is the lowest mintage unc. to date.
Right!
Sup Mister Wolverine and everyone have a blessed and wonderful Christmas
I’m not into graded coins but did buy a few do to rarity including rarest gold coin. The only silver bullion Eagles I like are 1st year (86) and lowest minted (96). Both never lost any value the last 10 + years and seem to be the best or only Silver Eagles for us to own. I personally love collectible coins as I never have to watch silver daily prices. None of my coins ever have gone down in value and now starting to buy collectible silver bars. Will make videos soon.
I BUY A 500 EAGLE MONSTER BOX EVERY YEAR FROM 1986- 2024. ONE OUNCE FINE SILVER SOVEREIGN COINS WILL ALWAYS BE ACCEPTED IN TRADE OR BARTER ON THE BLACK MARKET. EASIER TO USE INSTEAD OF SILVER ROUNDS OR SILVER BULLION. I HAVE OVER 19,000 ONE OUNCE SILVER EAGLES BU IN MONSTER BOXES AND OVER 700 MS-70 PR-70 SP-70 EH-70 SILVER EAGLES ALL SLABBED BY NGC OR PCGS.
@@user-do4wn5pk4j the only years that are worth any true value are the 86 first year and the lowest mintage 96 Eagles any other year are ripoffs! Any graded uncirculated bullion coins is another rip off.
I have a 2006 W burnished one in a beautiful BU with slight black tone across the center. Looks like black smoke but still BU at the same time.
I HAVE THOUSANDS OF GRADED SLABBED PROOFS PR70 SP70 EH70 AND MS70 I RESPECT YOU AND YOUR OPINION PERSONALLY I DON'T TOUCH BUY OR LIKE TONED SILVER EAGLES. I LOVE DEEP CAMEO ULTRA CAMEO REVERSE PROOFS ONLY. THEY ARE THE ONES COLLECTORS WANT I KNOW I BUY AND SELL THEM AT COIN SHOWS AND MARKETS ONLY. I STAY AWAY FROM ON LINE BULLSHIT FEES TAXES MARKUPS.
I’ve been stacking G/S (boxes whenever possible) since 1990 and never open the boxes. After watching this I was curious and NUMEROUS coins across from ALL that time they have mint marks!! And PRE-2015!!
I really don't understand why it matters where a bullion ASE was struck unless there is a difference in the strike. I avoid slabs with "struck at" on the label. Looks like I will have to like this another 106 times (194 as of now).
Is there a way to tell if 2015 is Philadelphia or West Point mint
Yes there is a way, search minted ASEs and see what comes up.
My feeling is if the value of the coin is BASED on the label, then I need to look closer at what exactly I'm paying for. What is the intrinsic value?
Plastic and paper label intrinsic value? Hmmmmm Good question lol
Morning Wolvie, Great Video !! I just "Smashed That Thumbs Up " like always, + I want to see you get "Cracking "🤣🤣👍👊!!
Knowledge is power and if the coin grading companies like PCGS, The Questionable Color Coin grading Company, knows where the Mint struck the bullion coin at which Mint then I believe them. I believe anything the coin grading companies tell me because they are coin professionals and they are always right even if they think I'm environmentally damaged.
I have plenty of ASEs but not one slabbed version of any sort. I prefer my ASEs in mint tubes I put them into or that came as a complete full tube already.
I HAVE BOUGHT 500 BU SILVER EAGLE MINT SEALED MONSTER BOXES. ONE BOX FOR EACH YEAR
I HAVE OVER 19,000 BU AND SLABBED PROOF AND MINT STATE SILVER EAGLES.
Im with ya i despise the slabbed bullion but its a legit thing
IF YOU CAN'T PAY THE PIPER MOVE OVER AND LET US WHO CAN. DOLLARS ARE BASICALLY WORTHLESS USE THEM TO BUY SOMETHING OF TANGERABLE WORTH AND VALUE.
Let’s do it you’re over 300 likes that you mentioned to us as of 12/26/22.
🎉😊
I already ordered it...
I sure have had some rough luck with the ment in the past few years!!
Very Nice coins us 👍
I totally agree with you. Anything to raise the premiums on these coins. I guess there’s a sucker born every minute. I’m new to this, but I just realized that I paid double of what I should’ve at Home Shopping Network. What a waste that was, but it was a learning experience.
I only bought 1 2023 ASE for my niece. She was born thais year.. and I picked up a 2021 T-1 on a good deal and it's a lower mintage..
Great video!!!! You hit the nail!!! It is an stinky Gimmick to make money for PCGS and other grading companies that will grade a soda cap just to have more business. They make people collect plastic. If remove the coin from the slab struck at xxx, and resend the coin, the grading company will not able to tell where the coin was struck at. Now that you came out with this video. Can you talk about the ASE 2011-S? The mint release it with the set and called it Burnished but PCGS does not recognize it as SP? So, if this is not an SP burnished, then in reality is the lowest ASE bullion coin with a mint nmark. PCGS and the US mint did not reply to my request for clarification.
2011 - S has a mint mark. I almost bought the set. But it was $600 and the coins was really toned/tarnished... I passed
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!
You will literally never get your premiums back on eagles sadly.
LOW MINTAGE EAGLES WILL ALWAYS CARRY A PREMIUM ESPECIALLY FOR COLLECTORS. 2021W 2021S TYPE 1 TYPE 2 REVERSE PROOFS WITH A MINTAGE OF 121,881 EACH. 2O2OW V75 PRIVY MARK PROOF WITH A MINTAGE OF 74,709. ANY YEAR PROOF DEEP CAMEO ULTRA CAMEO PR70 GRADE WITH MINTAGES UNDER 500,000 MINTAGE WILL CARRY A PREMIUM A FEW YEARS DOWN THE ROAD BECAUSE OF GROWING COLLECTORS LOOKING FOR THEM FOR THEIR COLLECTIONS.
Silver eagles are the biggest scam.
I have a 2022EAGLE S$1 MS70 GRADED BY NGC IS IT WORTH ANYTHING AS IM NEW TO THIS THANKS
Graded Bullion Silver Eagle?
Yes
Yeah since you can’t tell from looking at the coin, it’s sort of gimmicky
🔥🦈🌊
If i could get any cheap enough for a fast, profitable flip then id consider it.
Nothing I'm interested in collecting, except my granddaughter was born in 21and i got a lot of 2021 mint product for her. She had covid that year (no big deal for a baby) and since the reason they gave for the "struck at"s that year was covid related she needed those in her collection.
Her birth that year is another reason those Morgan and Peace dollars rock.
Thanks numismatic informations.🙏🙏 youtuber🇮🇩 Ind.
Wolvie, Like # 168. The 2019-S enhanced reverse proof silver American eagle has the “S” mink mark for San Francisco ? As you recall, back on November 19, 2019 that I tried to order it from the U.S. Mint website but the site crashed because of Ryder’s bots. After all, it was 1,110 days ago and counting.
I was proudly wearing my pink tutu, ball gag, heels and Mrs. Silver Honda’s panties trying to order it and actually I was looking better than Caitlyn Jenner
Anything on the topic?
@@SilverWolverine95 I did give my answer.
I don't have the link to the article handy at the moment, but I read an article stating that ALL of the older, type one, silver eagles produced at West Point Mint are BURNISHED. The only difference between the ones with a W mint mark, that are sold directly to the public with a high premium versus WP silver eagles sold to certified vendors in monster boxes, is the 'W' mint mark. The added mint mark is merely a gimmick the WP mint uses to overcharge the public. Aside from the mint mark they are the EXACT SAME burnished silver eagle,
This is not what the Mint says... But anyway, What does this make the Bullion Silver Eagles that are shipped in monster boxes to grading companies and certified as "Struck at". I rather have a Eagles with a Mint Mark then a label telling me. That's what the video was about. My opinion
2020 silver american eagle how much for that
2011 s is the first time I think it happened no s on coin but on label great topic
I believe the mint mark determines where the coin was produced.
Spot plus $5.00 is my best offer on all bullion ASE's except for the 1995-W. All the plastic slabs and inflated pricing is 100% smoke and mirrors bullshit!
I believe almost all of the slabbed gimmicky ASE seem to lose value over time. I’ve purchased slabbed ASE and almost all of them were sold at a loss. I’m no longer purchasing any slabbed graded ASE Bullion coins. Even the advanced release ASE have gone down in value.
ASE are the most collected coins today. They are no longer "only" bullion coins.
100% agree what a rip off. These are billion coins not collector coins. But as they say “there is a fool born every minute”.
There will always be people who take advantage of them.
So is this video saying
Do NOT buy the 2015 silver eagles??! (With out a mint mark)
No. BU Silver Eagles don't have a mint mark
Anything to make a buck. I remember when the "Rocket Ship" packaged Kennedy half dollar was supposed to have a "proof like" finish.
Not Bad. 💪
What difference does it make where they made them?
In my opinion it doesn't....
2010 year was under produced?
Huh?
I dont fully understand why they would not put on mint marks.they dont want specific mint collectors? They,re still selling them.🤔 i just found 4 2014 eagles buried in a tube of rounds,dont rember buying them.scored , i guess.
I believe that the silver plated eagles are the worst idea that has happened.
I’m not sure if this is an informative video because I can’t follow… I think I’m going to use it as a drinking game this Friday night. Everybody takes a shot or a drink when this guy says American Silver Eagle…
What about first & last strikes?
Not for me...
@@SilverWolverine95 or FDI, does it add value?
The minting location matters because not all mints are the same. You can only get them labeled if the whole box is submitted. These are monetized and have numismatic value like any other coin. Your argument applies to proof and unc. eagles with a mint mark like congratulations set or annual dollar sets if they are busted open they are just another eagle. Obviously they have value like the 2015 and that is based on mintage from said facility. People will look back and wish they had purchased these other mints slabbed.
Thanks for the comment and I know we do not agree on this topic. If a congrats set is busted open from the slab.. True the congrats designation goes out the window.. But It's still a W proof from the west Point mint... The Bullion coin struck at which ever mint would be just a bullion coin without a mint mark and just another coin part of a 47 million mintage in 2015...
When the FOIA [ Freedom of Information Act ] request was revealed two years after the coins were produced I immediately developed a FOMO [ fear of missing out ] on acquiring one of those very scarce 2015(P) 🦅American Silver Eagle🦅 bullion coins in a grade of PCGS Mint State-70, even though it has absolutely nothing on the coin itself to prove that it was actually struck at the Philadelphia Mint ! 🤔 No, not really ! 😲😳😬 🤣😂🤣
🇺🇸🦅🧀🇺🇸🦅🧀🇺🇸🦅🧀🇺🇸🦅🧀🇺🇸
Ok did you crack it,,, hehe guess will will see it soon, yeah on amazon they are selling with a (w) in brackets for west point but hey what the heck no mint mark how do we really really know think they are running around 70 bucks checked the cert number real from pcgs with west point yet no auctions
Crazy Gimmick Happy Stackin eh!
101 of 300!
I wonder how many mint workers it took to actually mint 47 million ASEs ?
I'll pay more for a cc over Philly or NO but I'll pass on this one
They won't give us the names of the 18 ABPP members (who most are also bullion buyers), they should protect our bullion which is not supposed to have a mint mark from this corrupt gimmick.
Love them ABPP dealers haha
Definitely a gimmick I fell for it at first but wised up later.
I hate the implied mint marked and not in to graded at all. I've actually bought a couple graded (69) coins and popped them out of the slabs and put them in regular capsules, just ASEs I liked and wanted an extra of. But the implied mint marks, what a joke. I do have one of every bullion ASE in capsules and a nice presentation box. Here's another pet peeve: the "30th anniversary" on the labels of 2016 bullion ASEs!!! They made the proof and Uncirculated with the lettered edge, the bullion is reeded like any other bullion ASE, so why state 30th anniversary in the label??? Do they put 25th anniversary on the 2011??? And I still don't understand the mints math that the 1995 was the 10th anniversary, but that's a different topic.
Wolvie I feel it is a Gimmick . I will not buy any of
these ASE . Way over Priced . Its all about the Plastic
slab case :-))
2024 no mint mark but on label w don't know if all are like that!
i get my ASEs for just about he same price as generic rounds from my LCS, i could care less what mint year, grade, etc they are...i just ask for cull ASEs and whtever he has at the time is what i buy... igot some of the coulourizzed ASEs a few weeks ago....i dont like em but ther are people that will pay a premium for those....while i get em all day long for the same price he sells generic or maybe a dollar more if anything....i dunno...i dont know why people feel the need to pay insanly high premiums on these....but they do
I agree this is questionable.
The bullion coins have always had a substantial premium. But, I have yet to buy a slabbed coin so your concern here really doesn't affect me.
Wolverine, why do you cover the serial number? Isn't that being paranoid, mistrust? I'm just asking.
it’s because he stole them 😅 jk
@@SilasMarnerAuAg LOL
IMHO, Buying a slabbed Bullion coin is just plain ignorant. Most ASE's are at least 69's and there are plenty of 70's as well. That TV guy really makes me feel sick when he fleeces mostly old folks who think they're getting an investment for their grandkids, etc. Sorry for venting, but it really makes me mad... JS
I find it objectionable purely on the grounds of near-fraud. In addition it turns people off to the hobby when they eventually discover they have been had.
I'll Stack Siver for Weight at its Intrinsic value over Numismatics value and get more weight for my money.
Registry sets period.
I think that's a scam in itself lol
@@SilverWolverine95 not exactly a scam, but a marketing (successful) plan to keep those who buy graded coins engaged. It’s a love it or hate it system.
Just another gimmick used by the usual culprit(s) to scam collectors. Some people just have no shame.
Like # 27/300
I have over 600 slabbed certified ASE'S. I have all dates all flavors proofs mint state burnished reverse proof enhanced proof. I have multiple scarce dates and mint marks. I have 4 1995W PF70 been offered 5 figures to sell one. Don't need the money. I also buy 2 mint boxes sealed every year for stacking purposes. I made a 143,000 dollar profit so far this week if I sold. NO way I am in it for the long haul. Fiat currency disgust me. Gold and Silver sovereigns are my god.
I’m in the same boat, I have collectable certified silver coinage for online sale aswell as bullion and 90%ers for local sale. Looking back my certified silver coinage has out preform my bullion and 90% several times over.
I do collect What Silver Eagles as Silver Bullion but I dont pay more for or collect them as Numismatic objects at all. I believe the entire ruse of grading and selling them as Collectors Items is a Terrible SCAM ALLTOGETHER.
No different than the labels we give ourselves.☪️✝️☯️✡️🕎☮️
They are a beautiful coin, but when the SHTF, no one will care about that. They do gain in price. I have a tube of them, but they are also US Government issue coinage and cold be recalled. Ya right!!😝
Maybe not if you do a little bit more research that jewelry and collectible PM coins could be exempt from government seizure.
If you buy it slabbed and crack it open. I want you to check the weight, the size, the thickness, the magnet and ping tests. Call the video "Slabbed coin, Is it Real?"
There are many ways to tell if your slab coin is real without cracking the slab case, what a mistake some will make.
MM or none, it has everything to do with how many were officially minted. Period. Otherwise, you have to take away the legit premuim that the 1996 no mm bullion coin built over the years, until mid to late 20xx when it was defeated. That 96, one which I own that came from a casino in Nevada, is in circulated condition, but for the first 10 years or so, it was nice to hold one of the lowest minted bullion coins in the ASE series.
People are suckers for anything.
They're ALL, WAY OVER PRICED!!
Total Gimmick. Just a ploy that creates hype to sell more silver eagles. Just ounces of silver to me. Full disclosure: I have one in a slab. I won it as a door prize ! 🧐 Collect what you like, but don't fall for this stuff and Merry Christmas to all ! 🎄🎄🎅🎄🎄
I have slabed 2011, 2013, 2014 all graded MS69 by NGC all labeled Struck at San Francisco Mint. So obviously 2015 was not the first year to have slabed ASE'S labeled with where they were minted. Just FYI....
I know someone who buys a monster box of Eagles almost every year. I'm gonna call him right now and see if he has the 2015p's!
getting closer to 300 likes y'all
You know the old saying , you can put a dress on a pig and it's still a pig.

The more I have learned about the Big 3, the less I like the whole slabbing obsession we seem to be in. It seems to me that if it is impossible to tell if a coin came out of another mint FROM THE COIN ITSELF, it shouldn't mean jack shit. I am also starting to believe that we need industry standard grading standards, so that we're not seeing a situation where an MS-whatever is getting 3 different grades, one of them being a no-grade bodybag, all for the exact same coin. Without industry standards, grading is not just a matter of opinion, it's outright manipulated, as we've seen from some of the recent CAC resubmissions that got downgraded or bodybagged when PCGS had given them a good grade before sending it to CAC. Albanese is playing games.
In my opinion...
Next time ask the real professionals not the boys that produced these videos on what is and what isn’t when it comes to graded coins

Just another gimmick created by the big coin dealers to get a whole lot of money from hard working people for a Silver Eagle that is just another run of the mill every day coin. Nothing special about it. Just one of 10's of millions of Silver Eagles minted that year. After this con job by the coin dealers I quit buying coins. The fun is gone. Dealers control prices now. Nowadays every Silver Eagle is rare when in reality nothing could be farther from the truth.
Big gimmick, not worth the money
Don't collect American coins, never will
