The ASE 20th Anniversary Set will sell for a premium after they are sold out from the U.S. Mint

These sets will sell for at least $250.00 after they sell out from the mint. With a mintage of only 250,000 this makes the silver reverse proof the lowest mintage in the entire series followed by the 1993(393,224) and 1994(372,168) ASE 93 and 94 Proofs which now go raw from $140-$180. A Proof 70 for the 93 is now $3200. Although you will not see this price for a 70 reverse proof because there will be many made, but it will command a premium. Plus the uncirculated with the first ever mintmark W will also make it the lowest mintage for the ASE MS Uncirculated series. Only 270,000 made with the W Mint mark. Compared to the 1996 uncircluated with the lowest uncirculated mintage of 3,603,386 that goes raw for around $50.00-75.00. There will be plenty of MS 69s made.
$50.00 the first ever Mint Mark W Uncirculated ASE compared to the 96 uncirculated
150.00 for the reverse proof compared to 93 and 94 Proofs
35.00 for the regular proof
Total at least $235

But I think they will even sell for more than $250.00.

    How long before the spots start showing up and render the set worthless?

    First off all you will have to deal with the fast buck artists. You have seen the posts here on this board. People who bought extra sets with the notion of selling on eBay to own their sets free. There are going to be droves of the sets on the bay driving prices down. Prices won't increase until this overhang is eliminated.

    No matter the mintage it is the lowest for the UNC and the Semi Key for the Proof...these coins will start out higher than they sold for...no doubt!

    conservatively 300.00 to 400.00 very soon, he__ they are selling at 160-170 while the mint is still selling them. and i can tell you as one who has bid on several sets while they were below 90.00 on ebay, i recieved multiple e-mails letting me know the mint was selling them.go figure. maybe 500.00

    We all are pretty sure they're going to go up in value as soon as they are sold out. How much is up to debate but it's going to happen and quickly.

    My question is what are these puppies going to be worth in 5 or 10 years? Will the premiums hold, fall or increase?

    All depends upon the collectability of the regular issue ASEs, and and those seem to have a growing popularity, year after year.

    I will try to tackle this question. Due to the demand of the ASE program still being a very popular one I think the prices will increase steadily after the initial market value is found. Much like the 1999 silver proof sets. They seem to have finally found an end to price increase and settled down. Although one main difference is the quarter program is slated to end while the ASE program has no foreseeable end. Just my opinion but I really hope they go through the roof as I will have 10 soon.

    You have a very good point there, but I think the popularity of the ASEs is well established and will soak up this issue, with the special 2 coins included, without a burp.

    With the number of New Collectors you know they have to have Silver Eagles...it and the Quarters are what they have been weened on...so You know when a coin is minted and it is a key or a semi key...there is only one direction these coins will go and that is straight up!

    WITHOUT A BURP IS RIGHT.

    My my, aren't we grumpy today. A direct attack like that would generally be considered very bad manners. In person it might start a fight. Perhaps we should quit taking so much advantage of the anonymity that the internet provides and start acting like civilized people. I never say anything here I wouldn't say in person. Can you make that claim?

    The most similar coin sold to this by the US Mint was the Buffalo proof and uncirculated silver dollar.

    Unprecedented demand and it sold out quickly.

    Mintage of 500,000, a little less than 2x the mintage of the rarest of the three coins in the 3 piece anniversary set.

    From the initial price of $30-$33 each, such coins are now selling for about 500% more than they did in 2001. Currently around $180-$198.

    I bought over 150 of these back in 2001 and kept them raw all these years.

    I expect somewhat close to the same same performance from these 20th anniversary ASE's. But indeed, the first year of massive selling of these pieces will keep the prices well below their eventual value until the year 2008.

    Additionally, not all three pieces in the ASE sets are of the limited production mintage?

    I've been thinking the same thing, with regards to the 2001 Buffalo. I hadn't checked their price in quite some time and was surprised to see them selling raw for 200+ in both Proof and MS. I hope this set does as well.

    true...the proof silver eagle has the W mint mark like all the regular silver proofs. The unc has a W so it is limited to 270k production total, and the reverse proof is 250k so these are the two that count.

    With the lowest mintage of the earlier proof SAEs a little under 400K, these should be a definite winner. Additionally, the reverse proof is truely beautiful in person. I think everyone will really like these coins when they get them.

    One shouldn't be in a rush, to receive a handsome yield. Everything in due time, yes these will fetch some high premiums, give it a couple years.

    The other thing to keep in mind with the uncirculated W mintmarked coin is that it will be the key to the set. There are millions of collectors, kids included, that are putting this set (the silver eagles) together and will need this coin. Unlike the Buffalo dollar coin, although popular, isn't collected by millions of people. If the buffalos are selling for around $190 each, the demand in a couple years for these eagles will probably be 5-6 times the demand for those Buffalos, but I'm not sure that will reflect a 5-6 times payout. The current key, 1996 eagle which is around $80-$90 has a mintage 10 times as high as this W mintmark will have.

    Thanks,

    Everybody and their dog has 10 sets with 9 to sell. Everybody aint right at the same time. I predict it will rise enough to cover eaby/paypal fees, and no more. It will be like the 2000 silver set that everybody was going to get rich off of.
  • Options
    No comparison to the 2000 silver proof set...maybe the 1999!
  • Options
    If everybody and their dog had 10 then that would mean that 250,000 would be in the hands of only 25,000 people...so I would think that would create a shortage down the road a little bit.
