I am looking to complete 2013 ASE in different finishes. Which one is a wiser choice to buy?

There's no really good answer to this.
If you want the coins raw for an album or something, save $25. If you want the coins slabbed and don't mind the 69 grade, then pay the $25 and you'll have them already slabbed. If you are asking about possible future price appreciation, buy the raw: it's cheaper and someone might think the coins could be 70s.
In general, I would prefer to pay less for a modern 69 than a raw coin.
It really is your choice....If grades are not an issue, the already slabbed coins might be the way to go.... The raw coins may be even a lower grade if submitted.... what is your intent for them? Cheers, RickO
I intend to just keep these coins, as collector items. But, who knows, I might sell them down the road. Grades not an issue for me.
The raw coins didn't have a picture reverse side of the coin. Hope there is nothing wrong with it. Seller has good rating. As far as the box, I guess I can always buy one off of ebay for about $13.
What is a good price for this set? I see a lot in Ebay for about$200.
Oh, I found another Ebay seller with grade 69 for about same price as the box one.
What is your preference and storage method? You may have a couple hundred similar in a few years.
In this case, I slightly prefer the raw coins in the original mint boxes. For rare coins or more valuable ones, I think stab offers peace of mind.
Storage .... I just keep them in my steel filing cabinet in whatever form I get them in. I keep them bubble wrap if that is how they came in.
