Thoughts?

Will they invert with time??

There was not a huge supply of 2006s that were not part of the anniversary set and the dealers did not get their large allotment. They had to go to the secondary market for them at that point. The prices jumped fast as they tried to get enough for themselves and have recently dropped to their present levels. All 3 of these years should maintain a decent price in the future.

This year had a very low mintage AND was subject to extreme Milk Spotting. Finding a coin without Milk Spots can be an interesting challenge in both slabbed and raw conditions.

I agree. Had to be the absolute worst year for spots.
Another reason is most folks that collect ASE sets have not recognized the "Ws" as necessary for a BU set.
I was hoping that the Burnished coins would become a "must have" for the set collecting masses, but thus far it doesn't seem to have materialized.
