<< <i>These sets will sell at or below issue price my the middle of next year. Aside from the reverse proofs the rest are nothing special. Just my .02c >>
Really? Let's see something....
* 250,000 sets @ $100 each.
* 250,000 MAX Reverse Proofs
* Under $30 for regular proof and under $20 for the UNC-W (that's $50 right there, so you think the RP is worth LESS than $50-$55 each, right? According to your logic)
* The regular proofs that are from '93-'95 go for $160-$200+ each.
* They have 370,000-400,000+ minted of each of those.
Yeah.....I REALLY believe you that they will be going for issue or below by the middle of next year
(won't bother me if they do, actually, as I will lock in some more profit soon and the rest will be sequestered away, free and clear, for awhile, I just find it funny how people predict things like this with very little logic or thought behind it.....more like wishful thinking)
Tom......people are buying them at inflated prices because they feel the sets (or at least the RP) will go up a lot more and have already exhausted the avenues they have to get more sets while the mint's limit is 10/household.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
I can't believe they haven't already sold out.
Especially with them bringing as much as they are on Ebay!
I was lucky enough to get 3 sets in time for First Strike submissions.

ROBERTB, good luck in waiting for the price to go below issue price. Are you by chance still waiting for the buffalo dollar to go back to issue price also? I realize you may not have much interest in the item.... but the market is there.
I had two sets on ebay tonight. They closed at $398 for the pair. The winning bidder was dnc_collectibles who seems to be buying a lot of these. If you do a search on ebay for this bidder, you will see they seem to be buying as many as they can get their hands on. Right after I listed them I got an email asking if I had more to sell and an offer. I think they will be triple the issue price in the near future.

Looking for PCGS AU58 Washington's, 32-63.
<< <i>I just placed an order for several more sets a few minutes ago. Recently how quickly has the mint been getting these orders shipped? >>
Ordered this late = mid December.
Not shipping very fast.
I believe that in 2007, we will see the price of ungraded sets, at 350 dollars a set.
If the graded 70s keep at the present rate, graded coins will increase 20% next year.
Make fun of first strikes all you want, but I believe they will prove to be most desirable.

I have to agree Bear. Even though the vast majority of we posters don't think much of the First Strike..... it's got the interest of the buyers, and probably will continue to do so.
In my mind, the long term is tougher to figure. It is not as if these sets are under the radar. Almost everyone that collects silver eagles knows about them, and has plenty of time to get in their orders. The long sell out time of over three months is disturbing for anyone thinking of holding these long term.
"The silver is mine and the gold is mine,' declares the LORD GOD Almighty."
Watch to see what happens to raw AGE prices at the end of November once the mint begins to cancell all the remaining unfillable orders that they still have on their books. Many people who have orders in (myself included) will be bitterly disappointed, and will finally succum to purchasing a set either on eBay or elsewhere. I suspect that once the deliveries are completed it will drive AGEs up considerably as with certainty there will be no more supply. With that, there will be considerable carry over into ASE pricing as many collectors begin to doubt whether their ASE orders will ever be filled.
Like the '01 Buffalo set, this set has all the right factors that make it a long-term winner: Limited mintage, super-attractive nastolgic coins, and the novelty of something that's not been done before.
It's mere speculaton, but I think people will be kicking themselves for years to come when they realize that they could have purchased these so cheaply. Or don't you remember when the '95-W could be purchased for about $400? People (myself included) scoffed at $600. They froze at $850. and 'wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole at $2000'.
But the great thing about handicapping this is that's what makes a horse race doesn't it?
Happy Collecting!
<< <i>I'll go the other direction -- double issue price by 11/1/07!

I sold 4 sets at a little lower price (they have gone up in the last week or so....about $20 a set) to the same person/place.
I wonder which TV promoter they are buying for....?

Of course it had a few grand of $$$ 'added value' courtesy of ours truly.

I foresee similar results with these silver sets. My advice is to hold on to them as long as you can stand to in whatever form!
<< <i>I just placed an order for several more sets a few minutes ago. Recently how quickly has the mint been getting these orders shipped? >>
I placed my order 8 hours after they where posted and I am still waiting. Don't hold your breath!

<< <i>Aside from the reverse proofs the rest are nothing special... >>
That's a little like saying about the 10th anniversary set, aside from the "W" SAE.......
Not shipping very fast.

I would take that to mean that not all of the 250,000 sets have been struck yet.
<< <i>They are going to follow the same path the Buffs did. It's a key and it looks good. Up is the only way it can go. >>
Absolutely.

Yeah, and your point is?

<< <i>Will there be any reason to leave them in the sealed packaging once received in Dec? >>
Yes, as stated before, you'll get the 20th Anniv. designation, this can be good, not as good as FS, but still good.
I'd like to add that 235,000 is as of a week ago.
I've followed the counts and they have been selling at least 10,000 a week.
There should be a sellout this week or next at the latest.
Orders have been taken that meet the maximum mintage level of 250,000 for the American Eagle 20th Anniversary Silver Coin Set. We will continue to accept orders in the event cancellations occur. Orders accepted after sell-out are considered “next in line,” and will be processed on a first-come, first-serve basis against any remaining inventory that may become available. The United States Mint CANNOT provide information on specific customer placement status either online or by telephone. If paying by credit card, please be sure the expiration date is not before December 31, 2006. If we are not able to fulfill your order, you will be notified that your order was cancelled. If you paid by check, you will receive a refund. As with all of our products, the United States Mint reserves the right to accept or reject orders in any combination or options it determines to be in its best interest.
Maybe they will now trade for $400+!
