1994 STRUCK THROUGH SAE

Coins-United States | Longstrider

I picked up something different the other day that I would like to share here. I saw this at my coin dealer and had to have it, a 1994 SAE or Silver American Eagle. What makes this uncirculated coin special is it exhibits a great “Strike Through” error across the date.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SILVER AMERICAN EAGLE

Coins-United States | Longstrider

Today I would like to build on the excellent blog written by Mike 271 on 13 Sept. entitled (2018 S Mint at Philadelphia Show ANA Label). I wouldn't normally write a similar blog so soon after another member but I received Mike's O.K., also they are going to be about different aspects of the same coin. Mike wrote mostly on the great label and I totally agree with him. I am not normally a guy that buys the label however I do have some exceptions. This is one of them. Read his blog and you will understand. Don't forget to comment.

ERROR SILVER AMERICAN EAGLE

Coins | Longstrider

Here I have a coin that I originally bought as an investment coin. I have since fallen in love with it and hope to keep it. As you can see, it's 2008 W Silver Eagle with a Reverse of 2007. It also happens to be a MS 70 Early Release. It has a very limited run. It's estimated that only 47,000 made their way out of the mint before the mistake was discovered. The difference being the reverse dies of 2007 and earlier have a plain U in UNITED. Modified dies of 2008 and later have a small serif at the bottom right of the U. It stands out if you know what you are looking for but you have to be looking for it.
