Slab 'em or sell the sets raw?
Timeframe: before Christmas for the best bang.
Why? Kitchen remodel, for my misses sanity.
Do I want to? Not really, waiting for $8k gold,

FWIW, I have not priced these in the last couple months both ways though, you may want to check current ebay results.
I knew it would happen.
i regret not getting these....BIG TIME
If you consider the individual coins instead of a 4-coin set, the 2008-W AGEs when certified to either NGC or PCGS MS-69 seem to realize around $3,450 compared to around $3,625 for uncertified individual (4) coins. There is *significant variability* in the number for the 1/4 ozers, due to a wide swing (to the upside) because of the new mintage data. The 1/4 ozers are *significantly higher* but I don't have records for enough sales in each grade to nail it down perfectly.
The Unc Gold Buff 4-coin sets look more stable with the most recent sales for ungraded sets at $5,100 and $4,750 compared to the NGC MS-70 4-coin sets which have most recently come in at $5,500 and $5,350. The trend is still up for the Unc Buffs as well, although maybe not as sharply since they have already taken quite a jump.
If you consider the individual coins instead of a 4-coin set, the Gold Buffs when certified to either NGC or PCGS MS-69 seem to realize around $4,150 compared to around $4,950 for the (4) individual coins. However, there is *significant variability* in the MS-69 number, due to a wide swing (to the upside) in the 1 oz. price.
I didn't include data for either NGC MS-70 or PCGS MS-70, but as you might expect, the numbers go higher in both cases, more so for PCGS.
Comrade! Happy Kitchen!!
P.S. Comrade, please note that I think my data is pretty good in spite of quite a bit of "smoothing over" of the data. Fuzzy logic, you know.

Keep the buffs raw and sit on them for a few more years. '09 proof may be the last of the Mohicans. The scientific name for the buffalo is Bison bison, a one of a kind species that only lives in the US (and sometimes wandering to Canada). Buff fractional set is a one of a kind and not likely to be repeated so I wouldn't sell that until the constable was coming to kick you out of the house. JMHO
I'd hold on to the buffs for now.
The buffs may have their day in the sun vs the eagles, but its not today. Also, if I thought I had a buff ms70, I'd slab it, just in case those 'berries' pop out of nowhere.
Enjoy the new kitchen!!!
P.S. If I thought one or more of the eagles were pcgs 70's I'd really consider slabbing those, and find a cheaper one to replace its spot in the 4-coin set.
