Thanks for the information - I appreciate it.

It will be a big seller if, like George Costanza, the Mint does the OPPOSITE of what they normally want.

Or we want.

I think.

Or not.

 

Nary a clue as to when they go on sale........

 

It's a nice conversation piece and looks different from UNC and regular Proof coins. I bought 1 or 2 a few years ago.

 

November 14th ... usmint.gov publishes a schedule on their website.

 

Duh........And the date of release is clearly represented in Dennis' link in the initial post.........

 

30,000 mintage limit. Household limit of one.

 

And then here is this hapless redundancy set to be launched in a few days......

Let’s see - at $64.95 that makes the Maple Leaf that no one wanted $75.00.

 

People give them as gifts -- or used to, all the time.

I got them for Christmas and Bday presents all the time in the 1970's.

 

Quite right. They are gifts most generous, but for collectors to be 'fawning' over them is ridiculous. I get the proofs from the mint, along with all of the 'eagles' and for folks to be making this set a 'rarity' to be found is tragic indeed....

 

Just going to point out something not mentioned and maybe overlooked, that with a total mintage of 30,000 for this enhanced reverse proof, it's the new silver eagle Key date coin. it's 125 coins less than the 1995-W.

I don't know what's gonna happen with it, but I can and will speculate this coin will be worth that $65.95 price tag and sell out in minutes.

 

I'm a bit confused since I'm not a type collector....are you saying that ALL ASE collectors who want every year/mint mark/ASE will HAVE to buy this ?

Was that the case with the earlier Reversed Enhanced Proof ASEs ?

My understanding was that the 1995-W ASE was the only ASE minted that year and you had to buy it along with a set that included a pricey Gold Eagle. Sometime in the years after that, the price skyrocketed from all the type collectors needing the 1995-W since the Mint didn't make regular 1995 ASEs.

 

They made 4,672,051 bullion coins and 407,822 proof coins in 1995
Then 30,125 1995-W proof to go in with the special gold set.

Yes. A completist that wants every one for their collection will want this one too. The 1995W is a hole in most peoples sets, another hole is 2009 when the mint didn't make any proof coin that year, and another tough year is the 2011 25th anniversary set, specifically the 2011-S proof and 2011-P reverse proof coins from that set which may also be holes for some collectors.
....In my opinion of course.

Although, the way they sold the 1995-W with the gold coins in the 10th anniversary set, limited the buyers of that set, and pretty much put most of them into the hands of dealers right out the gate which jumped the price up. This is just as likely to bring the price down of the 1995-W as it is to start out the gate high if the majority of the 30K limit, 1 per household winds up with collectors first.

I'm really not sure how much of the 1995-Ws prices are the way they were sold and who got most of them as to why they are so high priced. I'd think it has to have something to do with it.

Still though, it will be the lowest mintage of the series to date.
Figure I should say something so we don't have more holes in our collections, this one could become a tough date.

 

The 1995-W has already been falling in price the last few years from the Nutso Range to the Insanely Overpriced Range, right ?

 

That is an insanely low mintage and I wonder if it is a typo on the mint website.

 

Also if I miss out on this one I am done with silver eagles.

 

It's all part of the mint's new marketing strategy:
2019 reverse proof Kennedy, West Point Lincolns, now this reverse proof (the second of the year)...

C'mon, you know you need this issue. Pony up!

They know collectors have compulsive tendencies.

 

I bought the Pride of 2 Nations this summer, with the ASE-W Enhanced Reverse Proof. The Mint has it listed as Sold Out with 100,000 minted. As I am new to this hobby, I am not familiar with whether this is a middle or low volume coin, and how this bodes for its future value. Any thoughts?

 

Very very few of the Mints current releases retain value, let alone increase in value.
