Hasn't shipped yet. Isn't that, you know, _wrong_?

Yep, he claims in the auction text that he has a confirmed receipt date
of October 6th.....which would be the absolute latest date he must ship
by according to eBay rules on pre-sales.

However, he is full of crap. October 6th is the day the Mint will begin
to ship.

It's a moot point now. The auction has been pulled.

I believe the reverse proof coin will have a lower mintage than the
1994-P regular proof silver eagle, which currently sells for a higher
price than the entire 20th anniversary silver eagle set. Plus (for now,
anyway) it's a one-year type coin. I ordered a few extra sets, looking
forward to seeing what happens.

The 1994-P regular Proof Silver eagle has a mintage of about 372,000
according to Ye Holy Red Book. So the 2006 Reverse Proof should be lower,
yes. 250,000 of the three coin sets is not exactly a tiny number, (compared
to the $2600.00 Gold set with a mintage of 10,000..) .. but it's tiny enough
that if limited to one per person, fewer than one out of a thousand USA
residents could own one. I think the USA population just went over 300
million or is about to.

The one-day sell out was surprising, but then again, not surprising,
considering the Reverse Proof in it is what must have pushed it to sell out
so fast. If it had just been a two coin Unc. and regular Proof pair set with
nothing particularly special about the coins themselves (but maybe with
fancy schmancy "20th Anniversary" packaging, it probably would have
languished on the Mint's site until the end of the year.

And Mister Wazzizname pretends that reports to eBay SafeHarbor don't
work.

The uncirculated coin in the 20th anniversary silver eagle set (and the
two-coin gold and silver set) has a unique characteristic of its own,
the "W" mint mark. I believe this coin will have less than 10% of
the mintage of the 1996 uncirculated silver eagle, which currently
sells at a considerable premium over its silver value. In addition to
the reverse proof coin, the uncirculated 20th anniversary coin could
become popular in its own right.

Are the Uncirculated version with a "W" mintmark exclusive to the 20th
Ann. Sets or are they a new and ongoing addition to the American Eagle
Lineup?

I don't know the answer personally,but,burnished planchets.Please read
from "Pressroom"of United States Mint.

American Eagle Gold and Silver Uncirculated Coins are being introduced
in 2006. These coins feature the same finish as their bullion
counterparts, but unlike the American Eagle Bullion Coins, the American
Eagle Uncirculated Coins bear the mint mark of the facility that
produces them and follow a different path through the manufacturing
process. Specifically, the planchets used for American Eagle
Uncirculated Coins are burnished, while those used for American Eagle
Bullion Coins are not.

I initially read the announcement on the mint's website the same way,
but a quick call to USA-MINT got my order in for the 20th Anniversary
SAE set. Nothing sold out about it...yet. ;-)
