Older Eagles are Worth More ?

[gunDriller]

I saw a post on Craiglist where some guy is selling a 1994 SAE for $145 -

So it made me wonder about the dates of SAE's & which ones to keep an eye out for.

Is it safe to say that Eagles 1999 and before are worth more & have numismatic value ?

From looking at the SAE page at APMex, it seems like the prices get pricey starting around 1999 -

On the other hand - when you look at the "Buy" prices, there is no mention of paying extra for older Eagles.

Is this just a game that dealers play, charging extra for older Silver Eagles, but not paying extra ?

Well, according to the Apmex link you provided. 1996 is a key date....not 94

I think that guy on Craigslist is dreaming.

I wouldn't pay more than 2 bucks over for any date SAE (That is IF i was in the market for one...I'm not)

But Im not a "collector"

I don't think any SAE is worth that much unless it's key date and burnished.

My MS69 1996 was bought for $50 last year.

even the 96 isnt even that rare

there were 3.6 million struck

compare this to 94 and 97 when 4.2 and 4.3 million were struck and consistently sell at a normal price for an ase

however comparatively these early 90 years can be perceived as rarer considering the fact that 08 and 09 saw mintages of 20 and 30 million :o

The link you showed was for a proof eagle, totally different .

I've noticed that 96's seem to fetch more on the bay. I've sold a couple of 95's on there at a slight premium to the already existing sae premium. Once I sold one for 24 bucks and it was circulated and at the time silver was about 16ish.

I had no idea who this person was. Google images explains to me your reference but I'm still not paying the premium even if she did use it for that purpose.
