    As those who read me know, I only collect American Silver Eagles.  I'm not an expect by any means, but it would seem to me that a complete collection including varieties would include all varieties. not just some.  This set has made varieties of where they were minted without a mint mark, yet, there are not any slots for the Annual Dollar Silver Eagles from 2007, 2008, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, or 2016.  NGC has graded them as being from the Annual Dollar Set. 
    NGC currently has 114 slots in the current set listing of which I have 111 with the 2018 already ordered plus a couple that don't have slots yet, but I'm sure will as they are in the other years prior.  NGC should add these slots so we can collect a COMPLETE set as the set's name states.
    If anyone knows of any varieties of Silver Eagles not list for this set, please let me know.  Thanks in advance.

    Couple of days ago, NGC notified me of a pending certification transfer and if I wanted to accept or reject.  I rejected it as it is part of my 100% silver eagle collection and had not sold it.  I replied to the email that I rejected it and dina said no problem.  it wouldn't go through.  Imagine my surprise to seethe coin was removed from my set and given to another user and I can't get it back into my collection.  I just took a photo of the coin in question a few minutes ago.  I need it put back into my collection.

    I'm an avid fan of the American Silver Eagles.  I take pride in maintaining a 100% NGC collection.  I may not be the highest ranked but I have all of them, varieties included.  I'm just wondering where, from April 10, 2017 to April 16, 2016, a mysterious 2016(S) Minted in San Francisco variety was added?  I've never seen one listed for sale and there is no population report available.  It's second quarter 2017, they didn't just mint them.  Where's this mysterious coin?  I notice there is now a spot for the 2017(S) Minted in San Francisco variety so I expect it will be issued sometime this year (but, why have a slot for a non-issued coin?) and will be on the look for it.  The 2017S PF slot is now available as the coin was released recently and I already have my coin ordered for it.  I missed out on the unlimited purchase quantity available from the mint because the big companies bought all of them in 2 minutes.  I would welcome a reply from NGC as to how these mysterious slots came from.

    Obviously, NGC doesn't have an all inclusive Silver Eagles competitive set available.  According to Maribeth Bouche of NGC, "Hello, Thank you for the feedback.  The 2013 SP Enhanced finish is a special strike and was inadvertently allowed in the MS ad Proof sets."
    This coin doesn't rate for the Silver Eagles, 1986-Date, Mint State and Proof (Incl. Varieties) competitive set but is good enough for the Silver Eagles, 1986-Date, Bullion Issues competitive set.                                                                   
    This doesn't make any sense.  The are only 281K of this coin available and the reverse proof is part of the complete set but the enhanced finish isn't?  A (P), (S), (W) implied mint mark is a variety but the enhanced finish isn't?  Hey, everybody, you're 2013W SP coin only rates as common bullion by NGC.  Ok, then.  I don't argue with experts.  NGC has perverted numismatics with their varieties.  Watch out, next thing you know, it will be the individual labels you have to collect as these are "varieties".    
      I'm not going to play this game with them anymore.  I've spent too much time and money building a 100% complete set for the issuing company (NGC) not allow recognition.  I'm not renewing my membership and stop my upgrading process.  I'll be selling my entire NGC collection is anyone is interested (serious offers only)  I'm getting away from them.

    In the Silver Eagles, 1986-Date, Mint State and Proof (Incl. Varieties) set, NGC has the 2017W Proof eagle erroneously listed as 2017(W) struck at West Point PF when it should be correctly list as 2017W PF as the W is minted on this proof coin and not inferred.

    Are there any 2015(S) Struck at San Francisco American Silver Eagles graded?
    Are there any 2015(S) Struck at San Francisco American Silver Eagles graded? I'm just asking because there has been a slot for it all year, yet I have not came across one yet. If NGC is planning on grading any, when will be the release date?

    Why has this slot been taken away?
    A few weeks ago, I was looking at my Silver Eagle collection and noticed a slot for a 2014 Limited Edition Proof Eagle. I was intrigued as I had not heard of the set before. I went to the US Mint website, and, lo and behold, there it was listed.
    I read that it was limited to only 50,000 sets and was available so I ordered one. I then went on an exhaustive search to find an NGC graded set, which I did.
    I received it and came to the website to enter it in my collection and the slot was no longer there. What gives?
    Is this not what coin collecting is about? To get the rarities? According to Ali E. on the Chat Boards "Due to the fact that the 2014 LIMITED EDITION SET coins are difficult to obtain, they have no separate slots in the Registry.
    These coins are eligible in the Registry anywhere where a Proof American Eagle Silver Dollar, Kennedy Half-Dollar, America the Beautiful Quarters and Roosevelt Dime may be eligible. Thank you. "
    What the purpose of the 2000 Millenium Set? It has a slot. How about the 20th and 25th Anniversary Sets? They have slots. They all have coins that could be gotten elsewhere, yet their rarity is because they were part of a special set.
    There is a slot for a coin I have yet to find (2015(S) MS Silver Eagle), are there any graded? Yet, not one for the 2014 Limited Edition.
    Why should I go to the expense of having my unopened set sent to you for grading if it'll mean nothing?
    Just my 2 cents worth. Any comments are welcome.

    When was the 2013 SP Enhanced Finish Silver Eagle only from the West Point Mint Set removed?  This is definitely a variety and part of the collection.  I only figured this out by having to rearrange my boxes when NGC decided to release 2015 and 2016 eagles in 2017, and noticed I had 1 more coin than the total on the screen.  This coin needs to be placed back in to the set listing.
