Anyone know if they are going to do a 2007 RP ASE?

Just curious. Would be nice if it wasn't a one year thing.

The Mint has a winner. We will see RP

some how and somewhere, in 2007.

Yeah, it will show up in the 10th Anniversary Platinum sets. Better start saving now...

I don't know about an RP ASE, but I did read somewhere that the Mint is looking at a 3-Coin Plat Anniversary Set having a 1/2 oz. RP, a 1/2 oz. "W" Satin Unc., and a 1/2 oz. "W" Proof.

I agree with Bear, though - the Mint has a winner in RP issues. If I had to guess, since the Mint doesn't need Congressional Approval in order to produce Reverse Proof issues, I'd say that the odds are better than 50/50 they will sneak a Silver Eagle RP into the mix this year.

The only problem I see, is the danger of the Mint flooding the

market with sets in 2007.

Very possible coinmickey, then the mint will release the RP ASE as a single 2 months later unannounced.

I would bet on a Reverse Proof APE. I sure hope they limit this set to less then 5,000.

kwmorgan · January 23, 2007 4:36AM

Apology, I see you are talking about a Plat RP, mickey. Nonetheless, I had to take a swat at the mint. That ASE thing from a few months back still grinds me.

How about a gold, silver, plat RP set?

kwmorgan · January 23, 2007 4:39AM

Oooooooo...I'd make room on the CC for that one. Imagine first day ordering on a set like that.

It's a nasty habit that the Mint has developed - wait until you have as many sales as possible from one set, then release the next one - on and on, until about September. Then they come out with whole new generations of sets and an Anniversary Set that has the same stuff plus one more "specialty" coin that you need to complete the set.

Last year it was $14,800 or so to complete a 2006 Mint Set. Should we have a contest for the 2007 Grand Total?

Maybe a bi-metallic reverse proof

A Bimetal, Bilateral, Inverted, perverted,converted, reverse, uniface

with all the presidents and spouses on it. This will appear

in both Convex and Concave Formate with Satin Finish and

without Satin but brushed and combed finish. The silver part

of the coin will be clad in gold and the gold part of the coin will be clad

in silver. The coin will then be bronzed like a baby shoe. It will need to be the

size of a dinner plate and weigh 11 pounds. The cost for the two coins will

be 11,000 for the Convex and 11,500 for the concave with the same prices

for the Satin and the combed and brushed finishes. The face value of the coin

will be $ 1,129.23 . These coins will have the famous D mintmark for DUMMY!

Supply will be limited to the first 100,000,000 Americans that order. Remember, when

these coins are opened up to the 1 1/2 billion Chinese, you could be SOOL.

Just call it RCMitis. The RCM sends me the catalogs for all their stuff, all the time. What a waste of trees. Nonetheless, I buy only one thing from them. Their sterling silver proof set with the REAL copper penny. That's it.

jmski52 · January 23, 2007 5:21AM

So, these are bullion coins then? Do you think I could get Mitt Romney to fling one across the Potomic, so that I can have it slabbed? Or would it be worth more if maybe Ted Kennedy rowed it across in a boat?

Make that reflooding....

Then next year, the mint'll announce they sold 1,900 mint sets and everyone'll kick themselves for missing that boat.

That would be my guess, which means that I will need two different '07 proofs for my set.

pf70collector · January 23, 2007 5:49AM

You will see a reverse proof platinum in 2007 but only in the anniversary set. As far as the silver and gold reverse proofs in 2007 I have my doubts.

Anyone know if they are going to do a 2007 RP ASE?
