Has anyone looked at the prices of the 20th Anniversary Silver Eagle sets lately? I can't believe how much they're getting for those sets now....over $400.00!!! I wish now that I would have had the money when the US Mint cam out with those sets! I would still like to get 2 of them for my grand-kids, but NOT at those prices! Does anyone think the price will go DOWN on those sets? At least to a reasonable price....like $200.00 maybe? Man, I hope so!!

I doubt they will never see $200.00 again.
I think they will be at least $500.00 by the end of the year. People are finally catching on the reverse proof and the w unc...it took them long enough. When the set reaches $750.00 I'm going to sell 1/3 of my inventory.

I only m anaged to score 1 set at $150. A great deal in hindsight, but i wish I was more involved with the US Mint before these came out, my policy is usually to buy 2-3 of proof eagles, silver proof sets and mint sets so i can send the worst back or use one ( danscos ) and keep one, or one for me and one for the wifey.

Anyoen wanan give me their's for $150? lol that was joke and not a solicitiation! lol

i was lucky to get 1 at the mint, i wanted more but couldnt squeeze out the money =(

It is a very nice set IMO

I still have my sets unopened, and I'm debating grade-or-don't-grade, PCGS-or-NGC ???

swick

I don't see much of a price difference between the graded coins and the coins that are still in the original box from the US Mint, along with the C.O.A. I could be wrong though! LOLOL

CentDime

Two of the three coins in the set are fairly low mintage so I think it could hold current prices. The reverse proof may be worth $500 in a year or two alone.

swick

I agree with you CentDime. The reverse proof....maybe even more than $500.00?

I have 5 unopened sets that I bought because I wanted to keep three and sell two to cover the cost of the first three. Now that it has more than covered the cost, I'm just plain greedy.

I can't decide whether to have them graded in one slab with all three or three individual slabs. Any opinions?

I would do the 3 coins in one slab.. kinda like 'keeping the band together' .. i think the set will be worth more when all together...

I bought 2 from the mint and sold one at $450. The other one is still unopened.

andrew289

I would slab them individually. The chances of getting all three coins to grade the same is unlikely. I had to grade dozens of sets to get matching grades. Now, if a 69 unc, 68 reverse, 69 proof ..in the same slab isn't that big of a deal ...go for the all in one slab. I just prefer matching sets and the best way to do that is with single cases. Also, i would slab them individually to maximize the profit. The parts are worth much more than the set.

Guy's what about the Gold set?? I was lucky enough to get one of those!! Any idea on the price tag??

Issue was 2600.00....

That's a very scary comment. He must be trying to get people to sell them to him and only him...lol. There is no way that the 3 coin set will be worth less money.

In fact, you can print this page out and put it in a drawer somewhere. This time next year, if the 3 coins sets (raw, I guess he is talking about) are less than $100.00 ...I will buy all sets that any poster to this site wants to sell. I will buy them all day long at the original issue price...all day long.

I think by this time next year the raw sets will be $400.00. New silver eagle collectors are flooding the market daily and they aren't making any more of the reverse proof and the unc W is sold out with a mintage I guess to be around 500,000. Those 2 coins alone will be atleast $100.00 raw in 365 days.

He sounds like a scammer. I find it hard to believe that anyone with an ounce of common sense would say something like that with a straight face. But then again look at the results of the honest dealer poll. Maybe, it's to be expected after all.

Happy New Year friends !!!!!!!

moen, I opened mine and guess what, the reverse proof was jingling around out of the plastic!!
