could the 2 coin unc Anniversary set be the sleeper?

tincup · August 30, 2006 7:39AM

Looks like quite a bit of demand for those 2006 American Eagle anniversary sets. Seen a few posts about how the gold set will sell out rapidly with the 10,000 limit, and the 3 coin silver set is a high demand item for the reverse proof and P and W mint coins are expected to be a sell out also.

So that leaves the 2 coin unc set.... which contains coins that one can get in the other sets. So, could it be that this set will be greatly ignored, and thus be the lowest mintage package option? (assuming the Mint 'pulls' the set off the market after an amount of time due to little or no demand).

If the above scenario happens..... could the 2 coin set then become the sleeper set and then become the best performer in the aftermarket? (I personally doubt it.... but, what do you think??)

I doubt it since the coins it contains are in the other sets. Now both the coins will be relatively scarce (30K and 270K), but since they will be left overs from those who just want the reverse proof I think they have lower potential than the other sets.

I do think they will sell out, but after the other options.

I have to agree. I think this offering is a 'no brainer goodie' from the Mint..... a good way to celebrate the anniversary! I know there has been some discussion also about how the mintage of 250,000 for the Silver set is way too high, and will not sell out. I disagree that the mintage is too high.... look at the Marine dollars, the Franklin dollars, and the regular issue/proofs of the SAE's. Many sets out there.... the demand will be there.

I think they all will be winners, but A10 and A11 will be much more so with that 2006-W ASE. These sets will be broke up just to get that coin for all the collectors of Unc ASE's. There are a LOT of average people who collect the ASE's and state quarters. Just wait till the Coin Vault hucksters get onto this bandwagon...

I went to the Mint website and looked up the mintages of 2005, 2004, 2003 proof silver AE and noticed that only about 700K were sold each year. Now if there are only about 350,000 collectors who collect proof silver AE, they'll have to fight for the 250,000 reverse proof silver AE sold today by the Mint.

You bet. 1995-W will always be the king, but 2006-P Reverse proof is now definitely a semi-key.

it should be a no brainer sellout and some quick money can be made....but here again the Mint is pulling a lot of money out of the hobby! bottom line it can effect other coin sales....most folks do have a budget!

Looks like the gold set will have two key coins.... both the reverse proof and the unc with a 'W' mint mark (have there been any West Point uncs before?).

And the 10,000 mintage for the reverse proof will be the lowest mintage for ANY gold AE whether proof or unc, or 1 ounce or any other. Unless I have missed something on my quick look-up....

definitely a no- brainer give-away, as long as one can afford to make the purchase.....

I just called up and added 2 more A10's onto my purchase. That'll give me 3 A10 sets. I told the order specialist about the 2006-W becoming the Unc ASE key date. I think she's going to get a set now, too.

I must admit I have not seen this kinda reaction since the american buff program in 2001, which I did indeed clean up on

kwmorgan · August 30, 2006 9:50AM

...and there's only half as many of the 2 key 20th anniversary ASE's, than 2001 Buffaloes. It seems like it didn't click until today when a lot looked at the Unc ASE mintages, and have seen the key date in the making with the 2006-W. 1996 was the key, until now...
