As long as they don't top 250k or come within close range they should be fine. Even if they do, that is still pretty low for ASE mintages....for the one--or possibly two--unique coins in the set anyway. My two cents.

If the 2011 uncirculated ASE W is coming out on Sept 15, will PCGS honor the First Strike Label for this coin in the unopened set since it will be coming out a month and half later? I think they did these for the 2006 gold anniversary but not sure if they honored this for the 2006 silver anniversary set sealed because the mint produced the 2006 ASE Uncirculated before the anniversary set came out. Anbody remember. I do remember some of my sets not being able to get the FS label in 06.

Two different labels. ASE W for individual coins. ASE W 25th Anniversary for those sent to PCGS sealed. Thus, this will be the distinction between the two and the reason PCGS will require seal Anniversary sets for them to distingish between them. The same goes for the proof coins and bullion coins. It won't matter for the ASE S mint and the RP coins as these will only be made available in the 5 coin sets.

I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
I think the price to return packaging is already in the handling fee/first strike pricing. Not sure if it will change for this special packaging. ASE Proofs are repriced at $68.45. This price change will likely bring the set up to the $400-$430 range. Bummer. I cancelled my 4 9/11 medals since I am putting all my reserves in the anniversary set. Those prices went up also to $66. Curious if those that locked in the $55 price of these medals still can purchase them at that price since they have not shipped yet?

Anyone have anything new on the 25th set? Will PCGS put "25th Anniversary Set" on the label on all "S" and reverse proof coins since they are unique to the set?

Geez, my understanding is that in order to qualify for FS, the coins must be submitted for grading within the first 30 days of release OR submitted in a Mint sealed shipping box which contains a date of shipping which is within the 30 day window.
Unless they've changed things, ordering at 8PM and having order number 60,000 might guarantee you a set, but it might ship after the 30 day cutoff.

Since the bullion, collector W and proof were released individually earlier, the ones included in the set would probably have to be submitted from day 1 in their mint sealed box to be FS eligible (if PCGS will even FS label them since they were released individually earlier).

Since this set would be considered a newly issued set then the 30 day window for FS WITH THE 25th Anniv. label should start after the 1st set is shipped
After 5 years you can still get a reverse proof in the $220-$250 range. I am guessing not all ASE collectors want these in their collection with only 250,000 minted. I estimate about maybe 500K collectors out there but I think even this is too high.
<< <i>Since this set would be considered a newly issued set then the 30 day window for FS WITH THE 25th Anniv. label should start after the 1st set is shipped

Wow! 500k collectors! My guess would be maybe 100k and I can not imagine too many seriou collectors that would not want the RP. Guess we may not know but I am beginning to be a bit suspicious as to how many collectors there are of any of the modern series.
One example would be the First Spouse medals or coins, or commem silver dollars or gold or even silver ATB quarters (let alone the 5 ouncers).
I am still going to collect but sometimes get the feeling that a broader spread collapse of collector issues may be immanent - time will tell methinks.

The question I was commenting on was in regards to the fact that the W ASE and the PF and bullion which have already been released and will be past the 30 day window for FS....
Will a sealed set still get THESE THREE COINS a FS label or not? I know that it has to be sealed for the 25th label.....
I don't remember FS being on ANY labels in 2006...(and I set in over 30 sealed sets)
I remember that these got a FS if in a sealed box for all three in 2006 even after the the MS was on sale before the set came out. Like the 2010 ATB 5 oz bullion maybe PCGS will ignore the 30 day window for these sets.
I am basing the collector base on the yearly sales of the proofs which average about 800-900K a year. 400K of that total maybe from dealers and hoarders.

Lots of FS labels made with the 20th Anniv Sets. Therefore, the criteria will be the same for the 25th Anniv Sets. ( I had about 20 ... 20th anniv. sets with the FS label at one time) Don't forget...First Strike label aint free and wasn't free in 2006...you had to request it and of course, pay for that privileage.

I bet there will be mucho comment about the price of the set now that silver had been beeeeeach slapped back to earth....I'm sure the Mint will not take that into consideration (kinda like the $279 pucks...Helloooooooooooooooo!)
They probably should have sucked up their greed and priced the set when silver was at $43 ($7 ago)
