The mint announces a 25th anniv. 5 coin set due to go on sale by the end of October. This set will contain a 2011 W proof, a 2011 W silver eagle, a 2011 S silver eagle, a reverse proof silver eagle from philly, and a bullion silver eagle. Read all about it at the us mint press release, household limit of 5 sets. I say i'm a buyer
I'm interested in that reverse proof. I might get this set depending upon what the mint wants for it.
I'm really excited that they are selling these sets, they should be very nice. I see that this thread has already been posted.
* one proof coin from the United States Mint at West Point * one uncirculated coin from the United States Mint at West Point * one uncirculated coin from the United States Mint at San Francisco * one reverse proof coin (frosted background with polished, mirror-like design elements/foreground) from the United States Mint at Philadelphia * one bullion coin Each is a 5 ounce coin and I am not a fan of the 5 ounce coin, Wish they would make sets in the 1 ounce coin
My mistake thanks for the correction, Need to put my reading glasses on!! I'll buy 5 sets 2 for me and 3 to Ebay.
Yeah, I've admired that reverse proof in that set and regret that I didn't get one when it was issued by the mint.
This set had me at 'reverse'. And it's gonna have me five times over! Oh yeah! Thanks for the notice.
100,000 of these sets, I hope I can snag one.. that would be all I can hope for figuring 500.00 the set
I'll probably try to order the limit, whether it's five, or if they cut it back to one. I was glad to hear that they will mint the 25th Anniv ASE Reverse Proof, but sad to hear that they will be stuffing 4 more ounces of silver in the box that everyone will have to buy in order to get one. It's been a record year for ASE sales this year, and not like they have had a hard time selling them, so I don't understand their reasoning or thinking behind why they would want to try and keep the smaller collectors from being able to purchase one. A great 25th Anniversary coin...... and they are doing everything they can possibly do to either push silver, or to keep the little guy out? Why? I would prefer that they cut the 5 coin sets back to 50,000, and sell the other 50,000 individually. That would seem to be a more fair way for everyone that wants one to be able to get it. I would also love it in gold. I haven't seen any news release about it, but maybe they will go ahead and produce the 25th Anniversary AGE reverse proof this year too. Maybe even incorporate ASE and AGE in a set? Oh well, as long as I'm wishing, I guess I could wish they would finally produce the Palladium Ultra High Relief $20 Double Eagle coin too.
