Mintages

What is Mintage?

It is simply the amount of coins that were produced (struck) in a particular time frame.   

What is the significance of how many coins are minted a year?

The lower the mintage, the more desirable a coin is and could be worth more if desired by collectors.  

Condition of Coins defined:

[Proof]  A specially made coin distinguished by sharpness of detail and usually with a brilliant, mirrorlike surface.  [Mint state or uncirculated] coins showing no trace of wear.  [Burnished] coins appear matte and less shiny compared to standard bullion coins.  

Mintages provided below are as follows:

Gold Eagles, Gold Eagle Proof, Uncirculated (burnished) Gold Eagle, Mint State Silver Eagles (Burnished and uncirculated), Proof American Silver Eagles, Platinum Eagles, Proof Platinum Eagles, Uncirculated (Burnished) Platinum Eagles, 10th Anniversary Platinum Eagle, and the 2007 Frosted Freedom.  

If minted as a fractional, [1/2 oz], [1/4 oz] and [1/10 oz] it is listed below as well by year.
