Uncirculated Silver Eagle Coin Mintages
The United States Mint in 2006 started selling American Eagle Silver Uncirculated coins that were struck specifically for coin collectors.
Unlike their silver bullion counterparts, these "uncirculated coins are distinguished by the presence of a mint mark, indicating their production facility, and by the use of burnished coin blanks, which are hand-fed into specially-adapted coining presses one at a time," the U.S. Mint states on its Web site.
Each eagle features a "W" mint mark, representing the Mint facility in West Point. They are an annual coin where the only change is the year on the obverse.
The following are the latest available mintage figures from the Mint. Note that no uncirculated / burnished eagles were struck in 2009, as the Mint canceled them (and the proof versions) as a result of a limited supply of silver coin blanks and the unprecedented demand for the bullion versions.
| Year | Mintages | |
| 2006-W | 198,553 | |
| 2007-W | 621,333 | |
| 2008 W | 436,702 | |
| 2009 | Zero Minted | |
| 2010 | TBD* |
*No announcement has been made yet as to when the 2010-dated uncirculated Silver Eagles will be released.
