thecointrader · September 15, 2006 10:22AM

Will you KEEP or CANCEL your orders for the 2006-W ASE set, in light of the US Mint's announcement that they will offer 2006-W Unc's directly to the public for $19.95 as part of their Holiday Catalog?

Will they just be offering the silver as singles, or also the gold?

I wonder if that'll hurt the "big" set that's been bringing a tidy profit over the mint issue $2600 price?

I'm gonna keep all ten.

Whizzard · September 15, 2006 10:30AM

I'm keeping mine. I want the set with the reverse proof..

SportsModerator · September 15, 2006 10:33AM

Both 3 piece will do well, the 2 piece is a loser from the get go

BTW there's 10 more available as of about 15 mins ago!

Hyperion · September 15, 2006 10:34AM

I cancelled all and will buy a couple individuals. I didnt' have the 3 coin gold, I had the opportunity to buy and thought to myself...shoot, I dont need that.
Im a boob.

Newb · September 15, 2006 10:35AM

I only got four, but I'm keeping them. Won't get rich, but they should appreciate enough to make it worthwhile. I think people like that "set" thang.

And you got the whole submission gamble going on...who knows?

You think so on the 2pc, SM?

There's the whole "sold out" psychological thing, ya know?

It will sell out eventually. Should be worth a grand in a few months on that alone, right?

Of course, if the powers that be would let gold do it's thing, that might be melt.

jamakin · September 15, 2006 10:39AM

AmI reading this wrong or are they releasing uncirculated gold fractional denominations ?

Hyperion · September 15, 2006 10:43AM

the only reason to buy the ASE and AGE 3 coin sets is for the reverse proof.
the 2 coiner is a loser.

Sorry, but I'm not putting 8504.95 on the line on a maybe. Before this announcement, it was a good bet

Struck on specially burnished blanks, the American Eagle Uncirculated Coins feature a finish similar to their bullion counterparts, but carry the "W" mint mark reflecting their striking at the United States Mint at West Point. Each coin is encapsulated in plastic and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.

The American Eagle Gold and Silver Uncirculated Coins bear the same designs as their bullion and proof counterparts. The platinum version features the same obverse design found on the proof and bullion coins, but the reverse displays the design featured on the reverse of the 2006 American Eagle Platinum Proof Coin – a design honoring the Legislative Branch of our national government.

Priced at the relative mid-point between the American Eagle Proof Coins and the American Eagle Bullion Coins, the one-ounce American Eagle Gold Uncirculated Coins sell for $720.00; the 1/2-ounce for $375.00; the 1/4-ounce for $190.00; the 1/10-ounce for $85.00; and the four-coin gold uncirculated set for $1,350.

The one-ounce American Eagle Platinum Uncirculated Coin sells for $1,390.00; the 1/2-ounce for $720.00; the 1/4-ounce for $390.00; the 1/10-ounce for $180.00; and the four-coin platinum uncirculated set for $2,585. The one-ounce American Eagle Silver Uncirculated Coin sells for $19.95.

...............................

And platinum too!!
oh my ,they really are sucking everyones wallet dry...

jamakin · September 15, 2006 10:46AM

NowI gotta but a F#$%ing uncirculated $10 platinum to keep my set complete......

Newb · September 15, 2006 10:51AM

<< Sorry, but I'm not putting 8504.95 on the line on a maybe. Before this announcement, it was a good bet >>

I hear you. Only ordered four myself. Think I'll give it a few weeks and see what happens.

keez · September 15, 2006 11:02AM

The 3-coin sets, silver and gold, with the reverse proofs are the keepers. I ordered 2 of the 3-coin silver eagle sets.

seanthornton · September 15, 2006 11:15AM

Let see the silver uncirculated silver is 19.95 and the uncirculated gold is $720 both with the W mint mark. That makes buying both $739.95 but the 2 coin anniversary set is $850 for the same coins. I am thinking I am going to cancel my 2 coin anniversay set order. Or am I wrong or mis read the mint announcment/ The 2 coin anniversary set must have a real expensive box.

zkcoins · September 15, 2006 11:22AM

I just cancelled more than half of my products ordered. Many were the 2pc sets, so have fun anyone that wants them.

Zach

66Tbird · September 15, 2006 11:32AM

Kept the 3' and ditched the 2's

Konahead · September 15, 2006 11:35AM

after it is all said and done I will be keeping my silver 3 piece sets. I think the reverse proof will still be a winner!

Bochiman · September 15, 2006 11:36AM

I have to admit, some of these responses are

.
Since when is the mint supposed to be there to make other people money (profit)?

And, I have some on order as well, so I am in the same boat....I am just not going to cry about it as I went into it with my eyes wide open. If they sell out and are unique, and I make money, then cool. If not, then I am an adult and I understand it was speculative.

Now, I do think the Mint is being stupid on a lot of things (commems in particular) lately and we are seeing a glut of products and that will be a negative thing soon enough

xbob · September 15, 2006 12:15PM

The reverse proof is still the set key. I voted keep all. But if they end up putting the reverse proof out there for individual purchase, I will be cancelling all but 1 set.

TraderGio · September 15, 2006 12:25PM

<< The reverse proof is still the set key. I voted keep all. But if they end up putting the reverse proof out there for individual purchase, I will be cancelling all but 1 set. >>

The announcement on the Reverse proof will likely come out after all our credit cards have been billed!

Betbigger · September 15, 2006 12:27PM

Dumped my 3 two coin sets

dlimb2 · September 15, 2006 12:27PM

For now I am keeping all my 3 piece sets...never ordered the 2 piece because I didn't need to...but like someone said if they make the reverse proofs singles...I am out of there.

Rodius · September 15, 2006 12:28PM

Keep mine, what the reverse proof. Take advantage of the Holiday too.

TraderGio · September 15, 2006 12:31PM

Does this mean we get all the 3 pc silver and gold W's slabbed in order to get FIRST STRIKE

seanthornton · September 15, 2006 12:34PM

Just dumped my two 2 coin sets.
Sean

I didn't buy the 2-coin set, but what if?.....Hypothetical: TPGs only label coins from the sets as First Strike?

seanthornton · September 15, 2006 12:45PM

I guess I could reorder as they are not sold out and now they are not likely to sell out.

brendanlam · September 15, 2006 12:49PM

what will happen to those SILVER SETS, if it don't sellout this year? they will keep selling until reach the limit 250,000 , or just stop mint it?

EricSan · September 15, 2006 1:11PM

I'll keep my 10 sets of 3 coin silvers for the reverse proofs, but just dumped 10 of the 2 coins sets... what a shame!

messydesk · September 15, 2006 1:16PM

Keeping the silver sets. Mintage on the reverse cameo is significantly lower than other proof keys excluding 95-W.

TMCS · September 15, 2006 1:40PM

Keeping my 10 ASE sets. DUMPED both of my 2 coin sets. It makes no sense to keep them. But if you really wanted each coin wait to buy them individually for 80 dollars less. What a bummer

coasterfan · September 15, 2006 2:26PM

I HATE the Mint.

I'm thinking of cancelling one of the two 3-coin gold sets I ordered. Is it risky to try to cancel part of a single order?

michael · September 15, 2006 2:31PM

good should be offered to everyone even in the holiday cat
it is a collectors market for everyone not just the greedy strumpet profiteers

morgansforever · September 15, 2006 2:31PM

Bought 10 of the 3 piece ASE's, will dump 5 sets, and the others will be a freebe. Profit motive, free enterprise, private interest.

zkcoins · September 15, 2006 2:49PM

I kept most of my 3pc silver sets due to the proofs and I think long term they will be a very collectible set. I did dump all 4 of my 2pc gold/silver sets. So the mint lost $3400 of my business just on those sets. I don't think the 2pc sets will sell out at all given the current announcement. We will have to see what happens later this month. I did keep my 3pc gold set though.

renman95 · September 15, 2006 2:53PM

I dumped 10 2-coiners and kept 12 3-coiners ( 2G and 10S).

It was too good to be true...instant modern winners. Now it's just typical mint-greedy-bafoonery (as opposed to my own.)

I can already see the impending presidental/wives nightmare.

Three words come to mind: Royal Canadian Mint

richbeat · September 15, 2006 3:51PM

I'll be keeping my one silver set. Irregardless of profit motive, I think it was very sneaky of the Mint to do this.

thecointrader · September 16, 2006 6:16AM

Thanks for all your comments to this thread. I've decided to keep my 10 sets on order. I think the Reverse Proof will hold it's value.

thecointrader

ABC123 · September 16, 2006 6:21AM

The Value of the set is in the Reverse Proof, not in the UNC. !

PerryHall · September 16, 2006 7:13AM

I think the value of the reverse proof alone will exceed the cost of the entire set in a short time. I'm suprised they haven't sold out yet. Or have they?

pf70collector · September 16, 2006 7:14AM

I am keeping 20 of the 3 coin ASE set. Cancelling both of the 2 coin set and hopefully I will get my second AGE set which was on the waiting list if people start cancelling there orders. I will order a $50 platinum uncirculated with the reverse of the 2006 platinum proof. I can see has some potential for this platinum, offering it late in the year like they did in 2004.

Hello?

Where are you getting your information. I need a link to decide what to do about my 2 piece set I ordered. I planned to make some money on this, but can't afford to keep it if it doesn't work out.

keez · September 16, 2006 7:56AM

US Mint site, Pressroom link on nav bar. Also listed on the scheduled products page

garsmith · September 16, 2006 7:56AM

I'm keeping the 1 ASE set that I ordered!

morgansforever · September 16, 2006 8:06AM

I'll try to filp 5 of the 10 3 piece ASE sets if the demand is there. If not it's $1000 bucks not a big deal, give it a couple years. But I'm concerned bout the W Unc Eagles, I liked the idea of only 250k minted, now who knows with the latest news from the Mint. I might as well pick up some W Unc's as well, still a low mintage number.

POLL: Keep or Cancel your orders for the 2006-W Silver ASE Set?
