Question: Should I buy the uncirculated version from the mint, the uncirculated version from somewhere else, or the proof version from the mint or somewhere else. Also, which (meaning proof or uncirculated) will most likely be worth more in 20 years?
Answer: It used to be uncirculated silver eagles had to be bought from a dealer for the mint did not sell the uncirculated variety. This year they are, but it is different for it has the W mint mark on it and I believe it has a different finish. The one from the mint is different.. This is the first year I think, so no one knows how they will sell or how many they will make. Now proofs are made for collectors and are a special made coin with mirror finish and frosted designs. They are struck more than once and are on a special planchet. That is why they are more money. They are also made on slower moving presses. I would go with the proof for sure but if I had a few extra dollars I would also get the uncirculated version from the mint. As an example they minted 7,408,640,1999 uncirculated eagles but minted only 549,769, proofs. they are far few proofs around.
