Any Interest in the KING of ASE's ( 1995-W) ?

There's been a lot of discussion about 2006-W & 2007-W ASE's lately. With mintages of 400,000 - 600,000 ( or thereabouts) they can't come close to the King.
Anyone looking to buy?
1995-W Proof Silver American Eagle
That's one purdy coin there.

5 grand for an ounce of silver, hard to justify.
There is always someone looking to buy one though.

Well that depends on cashflow. I'd prefer the bi-metallic coin over this one

With the milk spot issue I have lost interest in this series. I have a complete set minus the milk spots but it was difficult to find ones that did not develop the spots over time.

& the seller has the nerve of making the following statement: "THIS COIN IS A SPOTLESS GEM."
Actually he is selling it at a discount ... I sold an MS68, with the Gold 69's for $6,200 about 6 to 7 month ago.

<< <i>Well, it looks like 5 to 1 against this coin. Maybe the seller should drop the price
He should send it in for "spot review"
Wish I had been into collecting in 95. What was the original cost?
They were originally included as a bonus coin in the 1995 gold proof set, which sold for $995. (Those were the days!)
The mintage limit was 45,000, but only a little over 30,000 were sold. An additional 10,000 or so gold proof sets were sold without the silver eagle.
There were a lot of complaints at the time about having to buy the gold set to get the silver coin.
For a while, the 1995-W silver eagle was available in the aftermarket for under $300!
Seller is a good guy. Very Straight in all my Deals. (5)
Rich puts his number there in the Auction for a reason.
Call and confirm before you burn.
I still love the design and have a few MS pieces but I don't hold the same regard for them. In a few decades perhaps the survivors will be stable but this coin will be out of sight expensive then.

30,000+ were sold...... Don't forget that this set was well on its way to a sellout and IMHO, probably did sellout!!
Unfortunately, the mint lost quite a few orders that were placed on the first day of ordering, April 21, 1995. If you didn't know the mint lost your order, you never received your set! I still wonder how many people were waiting to receive their sets, but never did. In my case, I didn't find out my order was lost until 10/5/95 when I called the mint to check on the status of my order. They had no record that my order was ever placed on 4/21/1995. I had to reorder! I imagine many people who placed orders on 4/21/1995 never had the opportunity to reorder because they didn't know the mint lost their orders (They were probably waiting for their orders to arrive all the way up to the time the Mint stopped taking orders). Consequently, only 30,000+ sets were sold in a mint offering that was probably sold out. We'll never know for sure how many orders the mint "lost" from April 21, 1995 (1st day of issue) until they fixed the problem.

Maybe he should get a sticker and raise the price.

I never heard that story! I was definitely lucky, it looks like.
I don't see any milk going on on this one. The Obv coloration has to do with the lighting, don't you think? Good price for this one....

That story (of "lost" orders) didn't get the publicity it should have received.
THE MINT LOST ORDERS STARTING ON THE FIRST DAY OF ISSUE. (4/21/1995)
Numismatic News didn't start publishing items related to "vanishing" orders until October 1995.
A few letters to the editor are documented in the 1995 NN issues dated 10/22, 11/7, 11/14, 11/21, and 12/5.
And in the NN issue dated 1/9/1996, the following article entitled "Contractor's repeated slips make 500 Mint shipmints late", it discusses issues with problem orders with a US Mint contractor having problems with unfilled orders. The mint says it only affected items in the fall catalog; however, the letters to the editor in NN shows the problems existed as early as 4/21/1995.
That coin issue should have sold out, but due to "lost" (vanishing / disappearing) orders from the mint, it didn't!
