Those ASE sets are moving up.

Seems like the raw sets are averaging arounf $250 and many times more thn that. Will be fun to watch.

<< <i>The really smart people didn't order 10 sets, the ordered 1 set 10 times. The last singled mint sealed set just sold for $380!! >>
Yeah, I thought about that afterwards. I thought I was smart ordering in boxes of 5, but I outsmarted myself and should have done singles
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

Had 2 of those (First Strike)...ended up going to sell one and keep one. Wife wanted a new car in December. Sold both.

So you got her a car for $30 worth of silver. Gold Bless America.

I have 20 more sealed SAE anniversary sets at PCGS....my fingers and toes are crossed.
At least according to the pop report!
I wonder how many new ASE collectors this set brought into the ASE collecting community, and how many are now buying the previous dates?
Certainly can't hurt the values of these "modern crapola bullion" coins...

<< <i>I was wondering the same thing but it seems the prices have dropped for the 93,94,95 proof Silver eagles? >>
Buy them now!!!!!!
doing nothing seems to be alright for now.
maybe, yes, it would have been better to buy them one at a time as far as selling them
<< <i>i'm in a debate too as to what to do with the 3 boxes of 10 i have.

If I were in your shoes, I would sell 1 box of 10 now. Get back your entire original cost of all 30 sets that way.
Then, I would likely sit on 1 box. The other box....debatable and depends on your own situation. Do you need the money now (sell it)? Do you feel lucky (get them graded)? Do you feel they will skyrocket unopened (remember, this is 10 sets you are sitting on)?

I'm kind of in the same boat. I don't see anything going up as fast or as high in the near future. A bulk PCGS submision might be a good option (for me) yet the NGC MS70's pull in good money also. Or sub to both TPG's and go that route. I'll just wait till the dust settles.
Box of 20
It's now 20 years old, is a relatively inexpensive set to acquire, always has the inherent silver value, and has the beautiful walking Liberty design. JMHO as to why I am filling in a couple of holes in the set and why I like them.
Yeah, you get the "modern crapola" stigma attached to them by some other collectors, but I don't care. I think the 20th anniversary sets are attracting new collectors to the series, too.

The SAE series is fairly popular and the Reverse Proof is unique for now. With a mintage of about 64% of the lowest previous year, the price should exceed that of the previous (excluding the expensive 1995-W @ 5K) semi key.
The Unc coin is the sleeper as it is the key to the uncirculated SAE series. At one sixth the mintage of the next lowest mintage produced (470K versus 3.6 MM) I can easily see this coin being a $150 coin down the road.
All this advice is worth exactly what you paid for it, just my opinion.
<< <i>What in the history of ASE's would lead one to believe these put away sets will soar? Not criticizing, just asking a simple question as I don't purchase them. Have other ones soared in price? >>
Supply and Demand.
Remembering that there were not 250,000 individual buys as many high volume dealers purchased a lot more than I could afford. Forward looking speculators also purchased a bunch.
The First Strike Folks are clamoring for these sets and it just goes from there.
I only wish I had bit the bullet and purchased 10 sets instead of my paltry three.
The name is LEE!

I hope you are right DeepCoin.
My order for 60 2006-w unc. silver eagle just became "stock and reserved", placed on 11/18.

The history of ASEs haven't, until 2006, included a set like this. The closest thing to it would have to be the tenth anniversary set, and we all know where those went.
This is all just speculation, but I truely believe the 2006-W will be a winner in a few years compared with today's prices. For those who have frequented these boards for a while, remember when everyone who owned a 1995-W proof SAE and had paid $2500 was laughed at? Now it is a 5k coin.
It will be fun to watch.

<< <i>My RP 68 is a LOT scarcer than your PR69s!
At least according to the pop report! >>
I have one of the two RP PR67's on the population report. Is the RP PR67 more valuable than higher grades because it has the lowest grade/population so far? >>
I would think not........anyone can turn a 69 into a 67 or a 65 for that matter, but try turning a 67 into a 69.
