Reeds Reverse Proof Silver Eagles
2012 S REVERSE PF SAN FRANCISCO EAGLE SET

Owner Comments:

This coin as part of the 2012 San Francisco set would be issued in part to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the San Francisco Mint at its current location and would include two Silver Eagles with the “S” mint mark.

Sales officially opened on June 7, 2012 at 12:00 Noon ET at the price of $149.95 per set. Silver was priced at $28.66. Despite the fact that collectors would have a lengthy period of time to place orders, many still rushed to submit their orders early. Within the first day, orders for the set reached 85,341 as indicated on a “sales odometer” that the US Mint placed on the product page. The total quickly surpassed the 100,000 mark, but then the pace of sales began to slow. Near the end of the offering period, the pace of orders rose with the final cumulative total indicated as 251,302 sets sold upon the close of sales on July 5, 2012 at 5:00 PM. The final audited mintage was later indicated at 224,935 sets sold.
