    Those $100 sets will sell out quick.

    I was hoping that since I set up a subscription account, I would be able to preorder. Or be amoung the first, Even if I can't be here at noon on the 30th. But I ain't so sure it's going to help at all.

    All this time I was thinking the reverse of one of the SAEs was a proof while the obverse had the uncirculated finish. Duh, I see now that I've actually paid attention to the wording that it is a reverse proof. WAY, WAY COOL! Who's with me?

    The uncirculated silver eagle will have a "W" mint mark? Repeat of 95?

    "To help mark the historic occasion of the 20th anniversary of the American Eagle Coin Program, the United States Mint is pleased to offer, for the first time ever, a reverse proof version of the American Eagle Silver Coins. Specially prepared dies were created to give these coins their spectacular finish. Both the proof and uncirculated American Eagles carry the “W” mint mark of West Point while the reverse proof coins carry the “P” mint mark of Philadelphia."

    "This three-coin collection is housed in an injection molded case that is finished with a high-gloss lacquer
    and features a textured, embossed leather top pad to enhance the set’s appearance."

    = cheap crap from China.
  • HonoluluDudeHonoluluDude Posts: 2,167 ✭
    Of course, the downside to these sets is that the Mint could decide to
    do the reverse proof every year after this if these are a sell out.

    They've been known to screw the collector for profits.image

    What'll be worth more, the Unc or the reverse proof?

    Ugh... Half of me is infuriated beyond words the mint is selling coins like the RCM (Can holograms be far behind?) the other half of me is overjoyed at what looks like a shot at some really nice coins and easy money. I'm left feeling sort of neutral about it.

    I think the smart (and big) money will be on the gold set with the reverse proof, limited to 10,000.

    << <i>What'll be worth more, the Unc or the reverse proof? >>



    I assume the reverse proof, not only because the uncirculated can obtained elsewhere. Or are they sticking a different mint mark on the uncirc included in this anniversary set?

    I smell a sell out within 24 Hours of the two coin and Gold Sets!
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Does anyone know how PCGS will set up the designation on the reverse proof?

    Thanks,

    I hope everyone read the "fine print"...

    "...To ensure the broadest and most fair access to this United States Mint product, the order limit is in effect during the first thirty (30) days of release. At the end of the initial thirty-day period, and each thirty-day period thereafter, the United States Mint will reevaluate and either extend, adjust or remove the limit..."

    I guess this means the 250,000 limit (for silver set) and the 10,000 limit (for the gold set) is not set in stone.
    Therefore, speculation on buying these set with "low" mintages is possibly just US Mint hype to sell the coins.

    I'll buy one silver set and wait for the secondary market to kick in.

    Thanks,

    Chris

  • aus3000tinaus3000tin Posts: 369 ✭✭✭
    Wait...
    Maybe I read the "fine print" wrong.

    I think the limit is not the mintage limit buy the purchase limit.
    So, I need to retract the last posting.

    Sorry for the confusion.

    Thanks,

    Chris

    What is a reverse proof? Are the fields frosted and the device shiny - or what?

    Yeah, the mint would *never* increase the mintages just because sales were going like gangbusters! image

    I will be looking forward to seeing one of the reverse proofs in hand. With only 10,000 sets, it should be a quick seller.

    I wonder if the Mint will have a comparable set in the future for the 10th Anniversary platinum eagles. Such a three-coin set would be priced above $5000!

    What do you think a platinum set in 1/10 oz coins would cost?
