2011-P 25th Anniversary Silver Eagle Signed by John M. Mercanti FROM (A25) SET PCGS Rev PR70 FS Reverse Proof 70 First Strike ***ONE OF THE NEW KEYS TO THE SERIES***
It's the 25th Anniversary of the Silver Eagle program's beginning in 1986! This coin was issued as a part of the 25th Anniversary 5 Coin Silver Eagle Set (A25) that had a mintage of only 100,000!

The Mint set the production level too low for the 25th Anniversary coins and they received complaints from the public and so did their Congressional representatives. The likely hood of a normal production Silver Eagle with a mintage less than 100,000 coins is small so the 2011-P is likely to remain a very strong key to the reverse proof Silver Eagle set and a second place semi key in the extended Silver Eagle proof set that contains proof and reverse proof issues.

Not only has the Mint given this coin and its series a gift by producing such a low mintage silver dollar it has also blessed it with the prospect of being king of an ongoing reverse proof set. The Mint has clearly demonstrated its intention to continue producing reverse proof Silver Eagles from time to time and this opens the door to collecting complete reverse proof Silver Eagle sets as a cost effective alternative to the cameo proofs that include the costly 1995-W.

Looking down the mintage listing of this major US series is instructive as shown below.

When trying to understand the behavior of series that have stable designs its helpful to look at the mintage and price of similar siblings. Notice that the 2006 reverse proof with its 248,875 mintage inhabits a price range close to that of a 2011 reverse proof with its most likely final mintage of just under 100,000 coins. The 2011RP is 2.5 times rarer than the 2006RP but the market prices of the coins do not reflect it. This behavior is directly attributable to the fact that the 2006RP has had five years to find stable homes while the 2011RP has not.

Even good material takes about 4-10 years for dealer inventory levels to fully dissipate but once they do the cost of coming to the party late can be substantial. This is especially true of ultra high grade issues once the bulk of the population has already seen the graders at least once and fresh material stops flowing.
