Does the Year of Mintage have any bearing on the current or future value of a particular bullion coin, of either gold or silver composition?
NO. Except for Current Year Issues, say 2009 today, there should be no premium paid or obtained for any particular gold or silver bullion coin based on Year of Mintage. Some dealers will promote the scarcity or purported numismatic values of specific dates of bullion coins, but these coins have been minted in the tens of thousands and millions and can hardly be considered scarce. Promotions or practices of this type just cause investors to overpay for bullion coins.
