    Unlike the 2012 coin set which was IMHO a complete flop same sandwich keep in mind these will be the "First of the First"image

    What happened to the price on these.. some guy on E-bay is giving them away for issue price + grading fees. ..He is probably losing money..
    If the mint sells this enhanced eagle the same way they sold the 75 s.. count me out.. >>




    They are selling around $180-190 a set not much over issue price of $150.

    As Casman said these were a flop from the get go along with adding the Coin and Currency set afterward.

    The mint will sell these the same way and probably have another set later with this "new" coin in it.

    This one with a "new" twist still has a better prospect than the 2012 sets.

    It may not be all that bad looking......image

    Per CoinWorld today it stated that it will have the 3 finishes simair to the
    2011/2012 September 11th National Proof Medal's and the
    2012 P Hawaii Volcanoes 5 OZ America The Beautiful

    Also this set is supposed to consist of the new enhanced and one reverse proof. ONLY available in the sets
    And the new enhanced version will be the norm from now on replacing the burnished version.

    I did not see where it states the mintages.

    I don't know what that means....

    Mintage won't be known until the month of ordering is completed...

    The enhanced version will replace the collectors burnished version of the ASE from this year onward.

    No more burnished= final year for the burnished version.

    From the US Mint

    Struck on specially burnished blanks, this coin offers silver precious metal purchasers a new collectible version
    of the popular American Eagle Silver Bullion Coin and features a finish similar to its bullion coin counterpart.
    Each coin also bears the “W” mint mark reflecting its striking at the United States Mint at West Point.

    Really? I guess you should call the Mint and have them cancel the burnished W that will be available for sale on May 28th for $53.95.....

    Don't know what the hub bub is all about......mint says this year will replace the burnished.
    Yes it says this Year's is coming out like you say.

    If its wrong so be it, get over it...

    New version..like the RP was a new version....The Mint did not use the word "replace"

    It is an additional version of the "bullion coin counterpart".....

    I AM over "it".....
  • This is a great idea! I would deem this to be a proof not an uncirculated dollar.

    I wonder if it will be a spot resistant finish.

    Anyone hear anything about a price point on this set? This looks like to be the one worth going after this year.

    so far so good.

    no official PR on it yet.

    here is something fun from a news story on it:
    The production of this coin is truly a labor-of-love from all aspects of the U.S. Mint's employees who work on it. From hand finishing the dies, to hand feeding the coins into the press, to visually inspecting each and every coin that is struck, every Mint employee takes pride in what they do to produce our coins. I was impressed with the dedication and knowledge that the employees so eagerly shared with me.

    Not to pour cold water, but with almost everyone loving this new coin this set may be a financial dud in the end.


  • << <i>Not to pour cold water, but with almost everyone loving this new coin this set may be a financial dud in the end. >>



    So what's wrong with buying it because you just want to add it to your collection? Not every purchase from the Mint has to be a flip-for-profit transaction.

    That said, I hope they don't go overboard when pricing this thing. Knowing them they'll put it out for $150 a set.

    Yep, but I still think I might like it. I hope I don't lose my cool and spend too much in a wild frenzy when they first come out.image

    Maybe, but then again, it may be a "label" and "grading" game. Many might be put off by the 75th SF set lackluster performance and not order. Many might order late and see no perceived "rush" - maybe the USM will have production and shipping issues.

    As you know ANYTHING can happen. My experience is that many of these new issues that have some INTEREST/DEMAND have "legs".

    So how much will the set cost to grade with first strike designation
    and how much will the PR70 FS hit eBay for?
    Any guesstimates?

    I'd guess they will be ~$200 a set to grade and will hit eBay at $400 for a 70 set...and drop to $275 within a month.

    Only way the flippers will make money is if there is 50% or greater "70" rate.

    I am interested in getting one of this set for my collection, mainly for the reversed proof. What other years have this enhanced ASE uncirculated coin?
