Question about Acquiring Business Strike Silver Eagles

JapanJohn

I have all the proof Silver Eagles to include the key date 1995w in the 10th anniversary set.

I also have the 2000 Millenium set which has the key date (I think) uncirculated strikes, and of course I ordered the 20th anniversary set Silver Eagles to keep my proof set up to date.

I feel like I need to pick up the business strike ASE's to complete the whole set. I've got a couple of options it seems. I can pick up a Dansco album for around $350 to $400 or I can pick up grades MS69 sets for about $700 or so.

Any thoughts as to which way to go? $400 compared to $700 isn't a deal breaker. Are any of the business strike SAE's key or worth getting them in a graded condition?

I have all the proofs which are in US Mint boxes and I don't feel the need to ever have the proofs graded, including the 1995w. Just having them in decent condition is good enough for me.

Any input or thoughts are appreciated.

Biggest point is examine all the coins in person. Even the PCGS coins can have spot problems.

Just look for milk spots. Personally I see the PCGS ones being better long term investment, but that is JMO.

Are your ASE's raw or slabbed? I would try to be consistent.

I would go with slabbed examples, but as others have said be sure to examine them for milkspots, which these are prone to develop after slabbage.

The 96 is about 3.5 x the price of the other issues. Bob
