I'll take a dozen of those USA 12 Piece Sets please, oh, and add a few of those Swizz 20 Francs while you're at it.

Gold went up
300% but XF $2.50 and $5 are only up 50%.

My recollection is that Stack’s “UNC” coins were typically decent examples, likely to grade MS63-64 these days.

Interesting observation. Win some more than others.

August 1995 I climbed Mt Elbert then mount massive the next day , the day after I laid in my tent at a campground in Leadville catching my breath . I didn't own any bullion at the time

I always thought 2.5 $ gold was a terrible buy at any point in history , give me the same in pesos

Nice prices.... I stacked AGE's at that time... Cheers, RickO

In 1995, I wrote a couple of editorials that were published protesting the inclusion of the 1995-W Silver Eagle only being available for purchase in the 5-coin set that included the 4 denominations of American Gold Eagles.

Philip Diehl screwed up my plan of buying 15 proofs every year (which I had done since 1986) as a longterm investment. I never bought another Proof Silver Eagle after that, until 2006. Flakey damned unelected bureaucrats.
