I think the original sales price of the 2006 three-coin set was $100, or pretty darn close to that number. I still have two sets sitting in my safe deposit box that, when last looked at in 2006, were pristine. I keep forgetting to put them on my website or on ebay (D'OH!). If I recall correctly, these sets have settled fairly stably into the $350 or so range.
look what I missed out on!!!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/1995-W-MINT-AMERICAN-SILVER-EAGLE-PROOF-DOLLAR-COIN-IN-FELT-BOX-WITH-COA-/181074400044?pt=Bullion_US&hash=item2a28e0132c&nma=true&si=WkRexJF2fVivzw3X0x33rSdXl28%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

How do you know this? Are you the seller? Could be a W put into a P box. Can't tell from the pic. Buyer was happy, so I'm guessing it actually was a W.
I already explained that it would be in a 4 coin gold set holder with the eagle with it. It's a red case not blue. Why are you being so stubborn on this. We are just trying to help ease your pain lol
I know because the seller stated in the bottom part of the listing that the title was in error and that the coin was a P-mint and not a W-mint.
are my odds zero/zilch on getting a 1995-W proof that is not slabbed? You say it was only in the 5 coin set?
You can find them raw, but they won't cost much, if any, less. They were issued in a set in 1995 that also had several gold coins, so if you buy the entire set you will not only have the large value of the 1995-W, but also the bullion value of the gold.
Sure you can get them raw. But the 4 other coins in the set are almost 2 oz of gold eagles so the set is thousands of dollars. Raw or graded the coin is not cheap.
The five coin set (Silver Eagle plus 4 gold coins) are readily available on ebay, but you are talking really big bucks. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1995-W-10th...597?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3ccaa122cd http://www.ebay.com/itm/1995-W-10th...101?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2327fcd7cd http://www.ebay.com/itm/1995-W-10th...485?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d09fd9ccd As you can see by the above, this will be no small investment. I brought the silver coin only to decide later that I wanted the entire set so I added the four gold coins later. Go figure.
When I bought my 1995W in 2002, it was through my local coin shop dealer and I knew the owner over many years. He had bought the complete set with the gold coins from an individual, just 24 hours before I purchased this coin from him. Since he was getting a complete turn over on this particular inventory in just one day, he gave me a good price on it. ($2450) It had some light milk spotting and would probably grade as a PR68. He had the gold coins already spoken for. It's being in the right place at the right time and pulling the trigger on it. I had no idea I was going to buy, or even see that coin, when I walked into his store.
