Proof Buffalo Gold Mintage 300,000 or
20th Anniversary Gold Mintage 10,000-30,000
You pay a little more for the 20th Anniversary, but if past history is any indicator, these could be big winners.

<< <i>The reverse proof in the gold is a knock-out too! >>
That one is the one that will really be in demand. This one will probably sell for $1,000 or more in the aftermarket, assuming $600 gold.
The silver set with a mintage of 250,000 might not be so lucky.
You are probably right. In any case, $100 on the silver sets can't go down too awefule much. One of the gold wins, and you'll make up quickly for any loss on the silvers.
But in any case lets hope you are wrong and they all go up in value!!!

The 10,000 limited quantity of AE Gold coin set is a winner; furthermore, the reverse proof and bunished uncirculated gold AE are unique until now.
I intend to give out some of the AE Silver sets as gifts to my friends.
The Mint overcharges us (collectors) on the AE Gold set because the Uncirculated AE gold shouldn't cost as much as $800 per coin [($800x1) + ($905x2) = $2610)].
But I am glad I have at least one set to keep in my collection.

BUDDY,
Don't forget me pal.
(Priest) BLASPHEMY he said it again, did you hear him?
Does anyone knows if:
The 2006 AE Gold bullion Uncirculated has any mint mark?
The AE Silver Proof has "W" mint mark on the back of the coin?
If so, the coins that are unique from these sets would only be the "AE reverse proof Gold and AE reverse proof silver".

Old gold coins are better.

<< <i>Old gold coins are better.

Modern crap!
On the Silver Eagles, the normal proof mintage is large and this coin from the set does not appear to be special. The W Mint Mark Burnished Uncirculated will be limited to 270,000 (250 in A10 plus 20 in A11). The reverse proof will be limited to 250,000.
On the gold eagles, the noral proofs will have 10K in A12, plus 12K as 1 ounce singles, plus 25K in the 4 coin proof set. The W Mint Marked Burnished Uncirculated will be limited to 30,000 (20K in A11 and 10K in A12). The reverse proof will have only 10K.

As far as I know, the only uncirculated Eagles that have a "W" mint mark would be those in the anniversary sets. These will all have the "W" mint mark both proof and uncirculated.
Yes?
No?

<< <i>Amazingly, these are the first gold eagles i have ever purchased. >>
Now you're going to have to go back and buy all the others so you can have a compete set.
<< <i>.....the one-sided Proof..... >>
Bill, it is not a one sided proof. That's what I thought it was too until I paid attention to the wording. It's a reverse proof, not a proof on the reverse. I bet there are more peeps getting this mixed up.
...and to have a full Unc ASE set, you have to have a 2006-W...
These sets certainly will not lose value.

That was my understanding also. But information does not seem very clear cut at this time.... I've seen it worded differently in different places. I think there will be more than just 2 desirable coins in all of the unc and proof options. Looks to me that any of the sets will be a winner.

The only non-winner will be the 2006-W regular proof. With the regular mintage of around 750,000 and the 250,000 for the 3-piece sets, that gets close to 1 million. That coin will be a dog for years. These sets are going to be broken up heavily, in my opinion.

I wonder if the mint will do a 10 year platinum set next year. I better start saving up
