Re: 1986 proof silver eagle That's about what common date PR eagles are going for now, so fair deal.

Re: 1986 proof silver eagle thanks.....I did some research online and found prices for the 1986 from about 45 to 150. pretty big gap. what are the uncommon dated pfs?

Re: 1986 proof silver eagle '93 thru '97 are the least common. I think '94 is the key. lemme dig up mintages. go here: http://silvereagleguide.com/mintages/

Re: 1986 proof silver eagle So they made some proofs at a mint other than West Point in 1995? Those seem like the ones to have. Though I am pretty happy with the 2008 I picked up for $13 during the summer. :111:

Re: 1986 proof silver eagle THe '95-W is the one to have, now and likely forevermore.

Re: 1986 proof silver eagle 2010 redbook lists it for $45, so that sounds about right. I have one in original mint packaging, and they are very nice coins, even more so because 86 was the first year they made them.

Re: 1986 proof silver eagle All PR ASE's were minted at sanfran til '93, moved to Phil 'til '01 (save for the '95-W), and have been at WestP ever since.

Do you really use the Red Book as a price guide? IMO it's good for mintage's and info, it's only printed once a year how can it be any use except as a text? :signs14:

Re: 1986 proof silver eagle I keep copies of both Blue Book and Red Book. Blue Book is annoying because it doesn't have the same spec info as Red Book does, and I also can't find it in color.

Numismatics don't fluctuate as wildly as bullion does, so unless something incredibly dramatic happens in the metals market, yes the red book is a good gauge for general numismatic value. The current PCGS price guide online lists a Proof 69 1986 ASE at $50, so it's all in the ballpark.

yeah the one I was looking at was also in the mint packaging.....looks pretty neat. the first year thing is also what tempted me.
