Hello,
I'm new to the forum ... and am not a collector. I am curious about the value of (1) set of 2013-2020 ANACS PR70/PF70 Congratulations Set coins, and (1) set of 2013-2021 NGC PF70 Congratulations Set coins (Note: the 2021 is Type-1).
I don't see much online for this ... anything really, and am hoping for genuine guidance and helpful information ... can anyone help me on this?
Thank you,
Chris

@cbigler.... Welcome aboard. I do not know the current market pricing on those sets, however, I suggest you check ebay closed auction prices. Also, I am sure others will have further advice. Cheers, RickO
Just what coins make up "Congratulations" sets? The advice about looking at closed auction prices on eBay is a good one. Don't pay much attention to Buy-It-Now prices as many of those are optimistic.
I believe they are just a proof eagle from the particular year in a fancy package. They are worth mabey $100-125 each graded, tops.
The coins are from these Mint congratulation marketing promotions for the W mint proof silver eagles, I know nothing about this program from the mint or if any of these are special or rare or why ANACS placed that designation on the holder.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
Do a check through ebay on each year. I found some in the 2013 to 2016 ranges that were over $300. Try to find as many as you can of a particular year that have sold recently and average them out. Completed sales is the only way to find an accurate value. And if all of yours are graded 70, disregard the 69 graded coins. You will see a good deal of difference in retail on these.
These are modern proof ASEs (American silver eagles) and retail for ~ 100 to150 each. They contain an oz of silver (~30 dollars worth) but are graded and are proof coins (the PR and PF designations mean proof) so they are worth about 125 each is a fair price. 2012 was a key year and you don’t have that one. The 2019 could be a key year and might have a slight premium if it is a W mint mark. The S reverse proof from 2019 is worth 2K but they didn’t put those in the congrats sets. The sets are meant to be a way to gift ASEs to folks like college grads, new births, marriages or whatever. It is just a ASE proof in the end that sold originally for ~60 to 90 and retail sell for ~100 to 150.
I’d ask all for 125 and see if you get a bite ...
An Anacs Pf70 from the congratulations sets from 2015 just sold for $459.00. Auction style on ebay. 2016 for 2-300. A 2018 might only bring $75. They are all over the board. NGC graded coins usually go for more than ANACS slabs
All over the board is right - I see a 2015 W proof selling for 3,495.00 (!!!!) while the same coin for 79.95
How crazy
Buy the holder, not the coin. 🤔
No bad words for the OP and I hope he gets a nice return, but if coin is a standard proof eagle, why pay a significant amount above numismatic value for a holder that says "CONGRATULATIONS"?? I don't get it
Thank you guys ... this helps!
