2006 20th anniversary set prices

with the current rate of 400+ dollars for the silver set, what do you think of the value in 5-10 years from now. Will it be better to sell now or hold for the long run?

    Do you really think the price will go DOWN in 5-10 years???? Depends... if you need the money sell what you have to. Otherwise sit back and watch the market declare itself. I have 49 NGC graded sets and one unopened set. (17 70/70/70 sets). Just the MS70 is now over $900. It will stabilize eventually

    The price of the set appears to be really skyrocketing right now. Each day or two seems to make a difference.

    I think part of the reason for the increasing price is because it seems more apparent that the US Mint may have made this a one time deal in regards to the reverse proof eagle. Does not seem to be going to be issued for this year anyways.

    It's not like the price is going to plummet overnight. Just keep your eye on Ebay and if they start to drop, then decide. I think there is a lot of upside left in these.

    What goes up eventually comes down.When the price gets high enough everyone will want to cash in and the price drops.Basic law of supply and demand.I think I will cash in at the $500 raw mark for the Reverse Proof / $150 on the Unc Raw

    Interesting that the gold Reverse Proof is not enjoying as much of a rally as the silver RP.

    Also, I don't see the gold RP listed as part of the gold eagle registry sets. Am I missing something?

    Looks like the other unopened singles are between 600 - 650. Only one active auction for a single right now so will be interesting to see what it goes for.

    I was *almost* lucky enough to grab one of these (raw, opened) for $400 on eBay yesterday, but the high bidder beat me by a lousy $3 at the last second. Am I bidding too low? The price is so volitile on these lately I never know how much am I supposed to be paying from one week to the next anyway. I only get the Greysheet once a month so I'm clueless as to what the current Bid price is. All I know is the guy in the back of Coin World is paying $380 a piece for them. Is that the going Bid price for them now, or is it even higher?

    On these, or anything that acts like these are doing right now, I wouldn't go by what someone is paying in the back of a printed magazine nor on Greysheet.

    Segoja on these boards is offering $460 for opened sets. That gives you an idea of what they are valued at.
    If you are bidding on ebay, then you are already in the right area to see current price trends as well....search on completed auctions. If the trend is up, on price, or if the trend is down on price, then you will be able to see.

    These aren't that rare that there is only one or two offered...you can actually get a pretty good feel on current price status by checking ebay.

    The original mint packaging is worth the most right now if you have a bunch of coins in ms/pr68 holders. In that case I'd crackem and sell them as mint sets BEFORE the coins milk spot. If the raw sets surpass the slabbed 69's by $200 or more I'd crack those so fast you would get whiplash from watching me do it.

    Yeah, but the sad thing is that it cost roughly $50+ to get the 3 coins graded....so, a 69/69/69 set is a loser image

    The point is most moderns grade at least MS69/PF69 so graded sets have little upside and have the cost of grading in them (assuming you graded the sets yourself).

    If you sold a ASE 3pc set raw at $460 you would net more than if you paid the grading fees on a raw set and made 69/69/69 + you are out the time to ahve the coins graded.

    That's why they are "losers"

    if you happen to hit a 70 then you make some $$$$.

    Hopefully that clears it up!

    James pretty much covered it.

    Simply stated, the grade of 69 no longer will recover the grading cost when the coin is sold. It used to be that you could grade NCLT Ultra Moderns in hopes of hitting the jackpot with a 70, but if you missed and only got 69s you could still make a few bucks or at least break even.
  • Options
    For some collectors though, the 69 graded sets have upsides over raw opened coins. Mainly, they are documented as 20th Anniversary whereas raw, opened coins can't get that designation except on the reverse.

    So for people that are anal about their coin sets, that may push the price up a bit for the 69 sets in the future.

    The NGC 69 sets are outperforming the PCGS sets.

    The NGC 69 multi holder set is approx $80-$100 higher than the 3 individual coins.

    I still have not personally seen the set, or a RP. I have 3 boxes with two sets in each box, and its killing me not to open them. My first box was shipped on 10/30, and I think 2 are eligible for FS, if it's worth it. I don't know what to do with them, play grading roulette, or sell a box still sealed. The unopened prices sure are looking good though. One day I would like to have a DDO 55 lincoln, and one unopened box of two sets would sure eat into the price of a 55. I hope I don't wait too long and the bubble bursts.

    I'm thinking about sending in my NCG 69 set for reholder into a muti holder. They look neat and for $15 the extra value seems to be there.

    I got lucky with my grading-- got two 70s out of 10 for the reverse proof, one being first strike. I sold the second reverse proof and it paid for the 10 sets. I had eight free submissions so grading didn't cost much. I'm holding on to mine for awhile.

    If I were you now, I would hold on to them unopened.

    They're hot right now cause they're the "latest" rareity. Plus the first ever reverse proof.(looks great to me)
    Maybe in 5 years when the 25th anniversary comes along then these will take the back seat.
    The '99 silver proof sets were the last "hot" set but now they've been de-throned and prices are starting to slip.

    Those 8 "FREE" gradings cost you a cool $200; a real waste when you could have had theASE's graded for a mere $14 a pop. Did they include the $10 a coin for the first strike designation with the freebies?
