Are the most current Silver Eagles (2009) the most preferred if given a chance? If not, which years are preferable? I know certain years (i.e. 1996 have a premium). I guess I'm referring to ones you can get at the same price as the current 2009's.

Hi there-
Not really a Silver eagle expert, but...
There's no real accounting for taste; you never really know WHAT people want. Anything in the 90's or 2000's is usually "hotter" in preference.
1986 and 1987 are the most common years, if you're looking for bullion go there.
JMO...I don't really follow the silver eagle market, but I do go on ebay a lot and that's what I usually see.

Only when they CAN'T have it, ......THEN they'll want it.
I love Cents. If you get an UNC box, you win. If you get a regular circ. box, you win. If you get a zinc box, you don't lose....so you still win. |

1996's are worth the most. After that they are worth the same, depending on who you ask. 97-99 are probably prefered for numismatics after the 96 but other than that a SAE is a SAE.

| Correct me if I'm wrong but does "Numismatics" really refer to how many of a coin are available? For example, less 1996 Silver Eagles were made than say 1993 or 2004? |

| some of them they have minted makes them worth silver only. some they made less of and they are worth more than bullion value in the "numismatic" world |
Inquiring minds want to know |

| How much of a numis value is the 96' over other years? Just a few dollars or are we talking double the normal price or more? I have 3 BU 1996's I got as a gift a few years ago and didn't know they were more rare than other years. |

Currently, APMEX is selling 1996 BU SAEs for $54.99 each. The other BU SAEs they have available for sale are in the $15.72 - $21.32 price range. They also have 1996s with problems (light spots) and they are going for $29.99. Some years they don't have in stock. |

| sell your 96's and buy more common date eagles with them. Eagles will be worth silver when the silver price goes up. Ebay has a 96 with 3 hours and 17 mins and it is going for 36.77 with 2.95 shipping. You could get two and maybe even three eagles if you sell those. . the more silver the better. |
If only you could see the future with 20/20 vision! |

Let's see. More silver or less silver? Hmmm. SELL THEM!
This is my reasoning (assuming you have silver as an investment or to maintain purchasing power)...
If you have two 1996 Silver Eagles and sell them for $100 and buy 5 non 1996 Silver Eagles, you still have $100 dollars worth of Silver, but you have 3 more Silver Eagles that will go up in value as the price of silver goes up. Maybe there will always be a premium paying buyers base for 1996 Silver Eagles, and maybe the price of 1996 will continue to rise as the price of silver rises, I don't know, but I'm not banking on that one.
Silver is silver. More is better. |

You are right on the money with your comment. Keep the key date SAEs.
Do not sell.
Repeat.
Do not sell. |

Opinions vary.
Silver is silver. More is better but it cannot be denied that silver in the form of a BU 1996 ASE commands a much higher price in the market place than a common SAE. There must be a reason for this. 10th anniversary of the SAE? Lower mintage? Only 3.6 million (1996) compared to 20.5 million (2008)? There are less 1996 SAEs out there than any other SAE.
I'll just buy as much silver as I want and still hang on to the 1996 SAEs. After all. 1996 seems to be the key date for SAEs. |

Numismatics has a lot of differnt things that go into it. A big part of it is mintage. So Yes, the lower the mintage typically its the key date. Howver this is not always the case. |

Silver is silver. More is better.
The price of 96 eagles has dropped dramiticly in the past 2 years. They were selling for in the $80 range, not they are in the $50-60 range.
The only reason the 96 even became valueable was because 1 person bought almost 1.5 million of them when they first came out, and than just held onto them. Now more and more of them are coming onto the market. I think the premium will keep dropping. |

| I'm going to keep the 96's, they have sentimental value to me and I don't even include them in my bullion inventory and keep them separate from my other SAE's (without even knowing the numis value). These 3 coins will probably be the last silver pieces I would ever hold onto if I traded or sold everything else I had. |
