2007 Silver Eagle
2007 American Silver Eagle
The 2007 Silver Eagle showed a slight mintage decline from the prior year as the price of silver fell into a new range. With a final mintage of 9,028,036, this year would be the last time the mintage was below the 10 million mark. In the following years, economic uncertainties would drive demand for silver bullion coins to new heights.
The United States Mint separately released two different collectible version of the American Silver Eagle. The 2007 Proof Silver Eagle was first available for sale on March 27, 2007. The coins were priced at $29.95, reflecting an increase of $2 compared to the prior year, and did not carry a maximum authorized mintage.
On June 13, 2007, the Mint released the 2007-W Uncirculated Silver Eagle. The collectible uncirculated version of the Silver Eagle had been released in the prior year, first as part of the 20th Anniversary Silver Eagle Set, and later as a separate option. These coins were struck on specially burnished blanks and carried the “W” mint mark. The coins were priced at $21.95 each, without a maximum mintage level established. This coin was also included in the 2007 Annual Uncirculated Dollar Coin Set, which included satin finish versions of the 2007 Sacagawea Dollar and four 2007-dated Presidential Dollars.
For collectors of certified coins, perfect graded become relatively easier across the board. Coins are attainable in NGC and PCGS MS70 for both bullion and collectible uncircualted coins. Proof coins graded NGC PF 70 Ultra Cameo and PCGS PR70DCAM are also readily available.
The overall average price of silver during 2007 was $13.28 per ounce.
