20th Anniversary 2 Coin Set Being Shipped

Tootawl

In case you are curious, the U.S. Mint has started shipping the 2 coin sets. I don't know if anyone has got thiers yet. I just noticed that mine is in the mail. I know there has been a lot talk about the 3 coin gold sets being shipped but nothing about the shipment of the 2 coin set.

The Mint website says my 20th Anniversary 3-coin silver sets are scheduled to ship 12/8. The site says shipping will begin mid-October and take 10-12 weeks. I have to wonder if getting my order in late put me on the later end of the delivery schedule. Do other people have earlier ship dates?

I know there were tons of posts about cancelling orders...but I didn't feel like reading thru it all. Can someone SUMMARIZE for me what the final concensus is on whether to cancel my order or not? Will the reverse proof be for sale by itself? I see the uncirculated "W" version is for sale right now If the reverse proof IS going to be available for individual purchase then I WILL cancel my order.

Someone please enlighten me

Summary:

3 pc gold set: an instant winner
2 pc gold/silver set: not a winner for coin rarity since the release of the uncirc singles by the mint - maybe worth something as a set a long time from now?
3 pc silver set: a winner, but it will take a while for it to show

I think that captures the spirit of the conversations...

You are spot on! 3 piece gold is an instant winner, 3 piece silver to follow.

Mine too! I'm on the 'cut line' as to whether I'll get any of the 3 coin sets.

Refunds are being offered to buyers of the American Eagle 20th Anniversary Gold and Silver Set who feel they were misled into purchasing the $850 set when it went on sale Aug. 30 and want to return them.

The set has a maximum mintage of 20,000. Some buyers assumed that was it as far as availability of 2006-W uncirculated one-ounce American Eagle gold and silver coins. That turned out to be an incorrect assumption. On Sept. 28, individual coins became available for sale.

The Mint issued a statement to correct the problem and in an interview with Numismatic News, Mint Director Edmund C. Moy apologized.

“While the United States Mint is pleased to offer both the special Anniversary Sets and the first new Uncirculated American Eagles to our customers in the year celebrating the 20th anniversary of the American Eagle program, we do acknowledge that our communication regarding the intent, timing and pricing of these two programs could have been clearer. We regret any confusion that occurred, and have offered a full refund to any customer who is not satisfied and wishes to return their sets,” the statement said.

I don't think the 3 piece is the winner... I think the reverse proof gold piece with mintage of 10,000 is. The other two can be had easily except in FIRST STRIKE designation in plastic...... but that REVERSE PROOF is the 95W of yesteryear.

Just like the 1996 sets I didn't get in on the winner. I did get the silver 3-pc, but not the gold. Besides it is modern cr*p anyway
