Place five separate orders. It will take days for these to sell-out.
That article is wrong. It was a few months for the sellout. To be sure my order history shows filled orders from Sept 12 through October 30th 2006. IIRC, I was late to order as well.

Place 5 1 set orders, you will have to pay the $4.95 shipping each though.
First Strike grading will be 800-1000 depending on service for 25 coins.
<< Apparently the mint director said the mintage of these sets may go higher than 100,000, surprise, surprise. >>
Well...if true, that would directly contradict the Mint's own press release which stated..."The United States Mint plans to produce up to 100,000 American Eagle 25th Anniversary Silver Coin Sets with a household order limit of 5 sets in effect."
That article is wrong. It was a few months for the sellout. To be sure my order history shows filled orders from Sept 12 through October 30th 2006. IIRC, I was late to order as well. >>
I agree.
Orders were taken in August and once the collecting community found out that the 2006-W would be offered separately, noses turned toward the skies! It was actually quite funny the number of comments that were posted wondering why the US Mint was charging so much for packaging (remembering that Silver was at $12.50 per oz)!
Orders seriously lagged until the sets started shipping and reselling for $200 to $300 on ebay. When that started, then the flipping machine kicked in yet there were still over 100,000 left to sell. I believe that October 12th was the official receipt date for when orders (made in August) began hitting the public. My credit card expired between the time I ordered in August and when folks started receiving them causing me to have to cancel the order (as told by the CS Rep) and resubmit a new order which did not arrive until early December which was well past the First Strike Cutoff Date.
In the mean time, First Strike MS/PF70 coins were selling for upwards of $2 grand each with complete MS/PF70 Sets commanding close to $5 grand with that First Strike Label. Some still command hefty premiums although no where near what they once were.
This should be an incredible wave and I would NOT be surprised, given the track record of the 20th Anniversary Sets, if this one sells out very quickly. There MIGHT even be a call to limit orders to one per household which also would not surprise me. If thats the case, then I'll get my brother to order one while I put mine in a Dansco.
For these 25th Anniversary Sets, the biggest problem is going to be Milk Spots. Some of them will spot like nobodies business while others will not. Those that do not should retain their high premiums.

The official press release from the Mint states that the following five coins will be included as part of the 25th Anniversary American Silver Eagle Set:
¡one 2011 Silver Eagle Proof Coin from the United States Mint at West Point ¡one 2011 Silver Eagle Uncirculated Coin from the United States Mint at West Point ¡one 2011 Silver Eagle Uncirculated Coin from the United States Mint at San Francisco ¡one 2011 Silver Eagle Reverse Proof Coin from the United States Mint at Philadelphia ¡one 2011 Silver Eagle Bullion Coin
the word out is that the Unc. will be mint marked S & W
but I don't know if the Unc ASEs to be released in Sept. will be W only, S only or both.
The ASE unc to be released 9/29/11 will have the "W" mint mark per the US Mint website. The 5-coin set will include an uncirculated "S" coin and a reverse proof coin, both unique to the 5-coin set.
The bottom line to my question was: if you want a 25th anniversary label on any coin that is in the 25th set that is also available individually, you can't open the box, because PCGS would not be able to tell if the coin submitted was actually from the set or cherry picked from another source. This excludes, of course, the reverse proof, because it can only be obtained in the 25th set.

With all the attention being paid to this forthcoming set, I don't expect any of the First Strikes to be scarce.
When the dust settles, I expect the 2011-S burnished Silver Eagle to be the most expensive coin from the set, due to more collector demand for the uncirculated/burnished coins than for the proof coins. At 100,000 mintage, the 2011-S will share major key status with the 2008-W reverse of 2007 (which is a variety that many collectors do not consider essential to their sets).
Does it make good financial sense to get the PCGS 25th label, or is there a good financial argument for keeping them ungraded or for opening them and only sending the coins that have a shot at 70?
$5x$32(FS and Modern)=$160+Shipping to and from $34+$8 handling Fee=Total of $202 in grading Fees. Ouch. Probably leave my sets sealed. It think these will priced at around $349 from the mint based on the 5 oz Pucks pricing if Silver stays at $40. The P Pucks are $279 right now for 5 ounces. Add a $$70 premium for the packaging. Can always hope silver will dive to $32. I wonder if they will have 100K set ready for shipment. If not, than it could limit the First Strike label.

I would think there will be a lot of these sets graded. No low numbers here. But still a nice set.
Gold and silver are valuable but wisdom is priceless.
Talk about exciting. I wasn't sure if the Mint was going to release a 25th anniversary set, considering the previous two were released on the 10th and 20th anniversary.
Will they change the household limit from 5 to 1? I think they want to get rid of these as fast as possible. As far as fair distribution among collectors I don't think they care this time around.The 10 per household limit was in place for the 2006 Anniversary sets. Below is the product listing for the 2006 Silver Anniversary Set
American Eagle 20th Anniversary Silver Coin Set (A10) To help mark the historic occasion of the 20th anniversary of the American Eagle Coin Program, the United States Mint is pleased to offer, for the first time ever, a reverse proof version of the American Eagle Silver Coins. Specially prepared dies were created to give these coins their spectacular finish. Both the proof and uncirculated American Eagles carry the “W” mint mark of West Point while the reverse proof coins carry the “P” mint mark of Philadelphia. This stunning set of three 2006-dated silver coins includes one American Eagle Silver Proof Coin, one American Eagle Silver Uncirculated Coin and one American Eagle Silver Reverse Proof Coin. By reversing the mirror-like finish of a traditional proof coin and applying it to the design elements of the coin, a magnificent contrast is achieved on the silver reverse proof. All of the coins are struck with a rendition of Adolph A. Weinman’s timeless Walking Liberty design from 1916. This three-coin collection is housed in an injection molded case that is finished with a highgloss lacquer and features a textured, embossed leather top pad to enhance the set’s appearance. A Certificate of Authenticity is included. This set is limited to 250,000 units, so order yours today.
Order Limits: American Eagle 20th Anniversary Silver Coin Set -- 10 units per household.
To ensure the broadest and most fair access to this United States Mint product, the order limit is in effect during the first thirty (30) days of release. At the end of the initial thirty-day period, and each thirty-day period thereafter, the United States Mint will reevaluate and either extend, adjust or remove the limit. Shipping of the American Eagle Anniversary Coin Sets is expected to begin mid-October, 2006, and take 10 - 12 weeks to complete. Price: $100.00 Qty. 1 Product will be available for shipping 12/08/2006

Oh man I hope that doesn't happen. I myself really like the thought of it just being a complete set without anything additional to buy later.
I would have loved to have been able to buy the 2010 ATB series, P's & B's in a set from the mint.

Only if they improve their quality control. The last two 2011W UNC AGE I received from them have issues visible to the naked eye. In fact, I received two bullion versions that here much better quality than the mint issued coins. Truly a sad situation.

Lets see, 5 household limit thats 20,000 unique buyers, maybe more like 25K as not everyone will buy the max. These should sell out fast.
Also if you are buying 5, Mint will will probably ship in a big oversized box with 5 boxes inside - knowing PCGS they won't accept the inner boxes as mint sealed as they won't have any labelling on them.

Thats a fail, as more then likely they will just bundle them up together anyway. Unless you think you can spread orders out over days and weeks which won't happen as they will SO before that. But you are welcome to try your approach :>

It'll be worth it since I believe than the odds of achieving an MS or PR 70 increase and sets with MS/PR70 coins will hit 1 to 2 grand very quickly.
It's kinda crazy but its true. A PR/MS70 20th Anniversary First Strike SAE Set can easily sell for 2 grand today.

that is in the 25th set that is also available individually, you can't open the box, because
PCGS would not be able to tell if the coin submitted was actually from the set or cherry

I would think there will be a lot of these sets graded. No low numbers here. But still a nice set.
I can't wait to see the product picture.
American Eagle 20th
Anniversary Silver Coin Set
(A10)
To help mark the historic occasion of the
20th anniversary of the American Eagle
Coin Program, the United States Mint is
pleased to offer, for the first time ever, a
reverse proof version of the American
Eagle Silver Coins. Specially prepared
dies were created to give these coins
their spectacular finish. Both the proof
and uncirculated American Eagles carry
the “W” mint mark of West Point while
the reverse proof coins carry the “P”
mint mark of Philadelphia.
This stunning set of three 2006-dated
silver coins includes one American Eagle
Silver Proof Coin, one American Eagle
Silver Uncirculated Coin and one
American Eagle Silver Reverse Proof
Coin. By reversing the mirror-like finish
of a traditional proof coin and applying it
to the design elements of the coin, a
magnificent contrast is achieved on the
silver reverse proof. All of the coins are
struck with a rendition of Adolph A.
Weinman’s timeless Walking Liberty
design from 1916. This three-coin
collection is housed in an injection
molded case that is finished with a highgloss
lacquer and features a textured,
embossed leather top pad to enhance
the set’s appearance. A Certificate of
Authenticity is included.
This set is limited to 250,000 units, so
order yours today.
Order Limits: American Eagle 20th
Anniversary Silver Coin Set -- 10

To ensure the broadest and most fair
access to this United States Mint product,
the order limit is in effect during the first
thirty (30) days of release. At the end of
the initial thirty-day period, and each
thirty-day period thereafter, the United
States Mint will reevaluate and either

Anniversary Coin Sets is expected to

<< <i>The ASE unc to be released 9/29/11 will have the "W" mint mark per the US Mint website. The 5-coin set will include an uncirculated "S" coin and a reverse proof coin, both unique to the 5-coin set. >>
We know the first sentence is true.
The second sentence wording of "unique" is not mentioned anywhere in the USM literature. However, we hope this is the case. >>
I agree. THey may pull a fast one and sell the S-mintmarked coin, if there is one, and the reverse proof as singles. They pulled that surprise on us in 2006 with the Burnished Unc. which we ASSUMED would on ly be issued in ther three-coin set.

Oh man I hope that doesn't happen. I myself really like the thought of it just being a complete set without anything additional to buy later.
I would have loved to have been able to buy the 2010 ATB series, P's & B's in a set from the mint.
Successful card BST transactions with cbcnow, brogurt, gstarling, Bravesfan 007, and rajah 424.
Sealed for prosperity!

<< <i>I'm excited thinking about it. Should look beautiful. Wondering if they're going to do the same for AGE's. What would that cost, $9.500??? >>
Only if they improve their quality control. The last two 2011W UNC AGE I received from them have issues visible to the naked eye. In fact, I received two bullion versions that here much better quality than the mint issued coins. Truly a sad situation.

Also if you are buying 5, Mint will will probably ship in a big oversized box with 5 boxes inside - knowing PCGS they won't accept the inner boxes as mint sealed as they won't have any labelling on them.
<< <i>Lets see, 5 household limit thats 20,000 unique buyers, maybe more like 25K as not everyone will buy the max. These should sell out fast.

If you want individual sealed boxes, place five different single orders.

If doing 5 orders be prepared to be on line a long time!

With my luck, the one that I don't send to PCGS will be the one with the Reverse proof 70 in it.

Thats a fail, as more then likely they will just bundle them up together anyway. Unless you think you can spread orders out over days and weeks which won't happen as they will SO before that. But you are welcome to try your approach :>
