Reverse Proof is all I hear.

What about the other two? Will they hold their value also?

    The proof probably will not over the long haul, IMHO as there will be nearly a million of them all together.

    The MS-w may fare quite well even with a relatively high mintage.

    I'd agree with this.
    The UNC will compete with the 1996 UNC (about 3.6million issued) which sets ~$40+ raw

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Nope. It used to be struck for commerce, not strictly for collectors like limited-firing dinnerware.

    In the long run, the first reverse proof Gold and Silver Eagles

    will achieve the same mythical stature as the 1995 W Proof Eagle.

    These two coins are indeed, keepers.

    One thing is that collectors take good care of their coins so high mintages lead to continual high numbers of coins in good conditions. It's more interesting when coins are issued to people who don't take care of them so over time the number of well preserved examples becomes smaller.
  • kinda like 1950 D nickels, low mintage but everyone that wants one will have one.

    So will the bullion coin and the regular proof be worth more in a 20th anniversary slab?

    If you're asking if they'll be worth more in a slab with a 20th anniversary insert vs a slab with a regular insert (even if has 20th Anniversary printed on it, e.g. after they run out of inserts), from what I've seen on eBay, the answer is yes. Whether this will remain true years from now is a different story.

    I compare this to the "Millenium" sets for the SAEs (minus the RP of the 20th annv set).
    Yes, on ebay, it appears that the label helps sell the coin for more than those w/o the label. I believe that will continue.

    What I see happening is that someone will buy a reverse proof to "complete" their set. Then, it will have the label. Their 2006 proof and 2006-w unc don't have the label, so they will go out and pay more for one with the same label so it is again a "set".
    Not everyone, mind you, but more than a few.
    Nothing wrong with this, either, if that i what THEY WANT to do. Of course, modern bashers will call them names. They are just jealous that these same people don't think exactly like them (in order to drive the prices up in the series they like/have).

    Konahead.....all GEN does lately is bash moderns. Just gotta learn to ignore it and give the comments all the dues they deserve (ie....*FLUSH*) image
