    So much for the rumor of the S marked burnished eagle. Both coins are proofs (well one is a RP). The 3 would have been a nice set......

    ....of course nothing stops them from adding the burnished S later in the year and maybe we will then have a burnished set also...

    If limited mintage, I might be in for the flip.

    After the Mint's experience with the 25th Anniversary Set sellout, I wouldn't be surprised to see an issue limit of 250,000 or more and a household limit of one or two sets.

    With three down and more on the horizon, the reverse proofs may become a separate series distinct from the regular proofs.

    They still haven't stooped as low as Phillip Diehl in 1995. Stay tuned.

    I'm waiting to see when the Mint finally makes it too difficult for collectors to do what they only wanted to do in the first place - collect. That's what Diehl did in 1995, making it prohibitive for anyone who didn't have $1,000 burning a hole in his pocket - to obtain one of a "limited mintage" of 30,000 coins.

    This is just a garden variety version of "soak'em for all you can get". They're just getting warmed up.

    Yeah, I agree. They should have let well enough alone. Right after the 1995 SilverEagle, (10th anniversary) was when it got absurd! I love the ASE series but com'on!

    The mint might just make this a very high mintage issue, thus killing the value on the earlier Reverse Proofs. Some people will want just ONE -- for type.

    I know flippin goes on and on a limited basis think it is ok. I just worry that to many of the new crop of "collectors" only has $ in their eyes and shows little appreciation for the coins themselves. I worry that more and more of us have a collection that consists of unopened boxes sittling in a closet that have never seen the light of day since they left the Mint. Seems the stock flippers became house flippers who became coin flippers leaving a trail of destortion where ever they go.

    ditch the reverse proof

    make a 3 coin set of the bullion, proof and Unc. for a price lower than if they were bought individually.


    that would sell well.


    they are ruining the specialness of the reverse proof.

    I loved my RP 20th anniversary and was bummed to spend all that time and not get the 25th RP to add to the collection.
    Now I can look forward to the new 75th SF mint edition.

    Makes sense on a couple of different levels. The Mint can milk the ASE market again and also try to appease some of the folks who may have missed the 2011 set. Rest assured that mintage figures will be higher than last year. Personally I worry they are trying to milk this market too much (especially if we have unc. S and W mints this year). That said, I will be buying unless it looks like the mintages are high.

    My guess 5 per HH with 300k mintage. The mint will want these gone as fast as possible. They did a 10 per HH for the 20th Anniversary at 250K mintage. This is how they think-moving out items as fast as possible.

    No way, with an unlimited strike you could rule out half the collectors out there too.

    Don't you feel,that 25, or the 25th year, is a good round number to stop production, of this series? Think of it! If the mint would put a halt on this series, doesn't anybody feel doing this would really set this series "ablaze"? I think It would skyrocket up!All good things must come to an end! Agreements?Disagreements?

    Whenever a series ends, e.g. the State Quarter Program( PCGS and NGC 70 Silver PF State Quarters took a major hit), etc there is waning collector interest. We shall see. The series will no longer be in the spot light. JMHO.

    I bought 5 of the 2011 ASE 25th Anniversary sets -
    One to keep raw for the Eagle Album, and I had the
    four others certified as "First Strike". One set contains
    all "70's" - which I will keep. The others are a mix of
    68's , 69's & 70's. There seems to be no demand for
    these sets as there was when they were first released.

    It seems the same was true for the 20th Anniversary
    three piece sets. ( I kept all of them raw in their original
    Boxes.)

    Will I get the 75th San Francisco Anniversary "two piece sets ? "
    .... Yes, but, I think only two sets.

    The mintage for the 1995 Anniversary sets was 30,000+. They took several months to sell out and the imputed cost for the 95-W ASE was high (about $200).

    The mintage for the 2006 Anniversary Sets was 250,000. They took several months to sell out @ $100/set.

    The mintage for the 2011 Anniversary Sets was 100,000. They sold out in about 5 hours @ $300/set, and the Mint received tons of complaints over the way the sets were sold.

    Let's examine which way things could go from here. If the Mint continues to offer multiple mintmarks in special limited edition sets, the desirability of the new offerings will no doubt depend on the anticipated mintages, and ALSO on the proliferation of these special issues.

    (A side note - after the 1995 fiasco, I quit collecting ASEs entirely and became a Mint issue speculator. I bought (5) 2006 sets and (5) 2011 sets. I haven't ever bought any other Silver Eagles except as bullion. No more collecting them for me - once burned, twice shy.)

    How many others are simply speculating now instead of collecting? The Mint's behavior encourages speculation, and in my opinion demand for collectible ASE issues will now depend more on the "performance" of all past and all forthcoming special issues, and less upon collector demand.

    The pricing pattern for this type of speculation mimics those as for Air Jordans and XBoxes. The residual collectability is another matter. The Mint is charging a nice, fat premium for these sets - which makes the return on investment harder to gauge. especially in the short term.

    EricJ uses previously-issued series as models for the newer series, and he likens ASEs to the Morgan Series. I don't know that the analogy will remain valid if the series becomes fragmented and if high-premium special issues become over-produced. At some point, the ASEs may become more comparable to the Classic Commemorative Half Dollar Series than to the Morgan Dollar Series. It took several decades for Commemorative Half Dollar demand to catch up with the over-proliferation abuse that the series endured during the 1930's through 1954. The lack of discretion by Congress in over-proliferation was the main reason for the series' discontinuance.

    As a longterm speculator, I like <some of> the ASEs. As a short term proposition, I think that an over-proliferation of lower-mintage varieties sold at high initial premiums will dampen the short term prospects for profit. It's a dilution effect if the Mint lets it get out of hand. I don't think we are there yet, but we could be getting close.

    If I were the Mint, I'd be careful not to alienate too many more collectors like they did in 1995 and again in 2011. They should stick to selling special sets to meet demand for awhile. Just my opinion.

    Limited mintage sometimes works against a series. The 2010 ATB 5 oz coins were limited to 27,000 P issues and the first ones sold out in days, with some hours. Now that limits are lifted they can't even sell 20k of the '11 ones.
