    I have been trying to put together a complete set of NGC69 Silver Eagles.
    I have one of every regular issue of bullion, uncirculated and proof.
    I have the 1995W.
    I have the 2008 with reverse of 2007.
    I have both 20th and 25th anniversary sets.

    Am I missing anything?

    Thanks for your input.

  3. That sounds complete to me, although NGC did slab ASEs from the 2000 millennium set as well. TC

    Thanks, James.
    Do you mean the uncirculated beginning in 2006?
    I do have all of those.

    Thanks, TC. Did they have special labels?

    You are missing the Daniel Carr Proofed 2009 ASE. I am serious about this one. It's a part of my ASE collection.

    BTW, I'm sure you've shared the 95W on CT before, but I forget, is it graded or raw/OGP? If graded, is it also one of your NGC 69s?

    I've shown my 67 before. Don't have a pic of my 69 yet. Will try to get it soon.
    I don't know about the DC though. Nice, but doesn't fit my ideal.

    I don't count those signiture labels myself. they're more of a gimmick than a diff coin. there are a whole bunch just invented by the mass marketers.

    So Krispy...should all state quarter collectors get the gold and platinum coated coins to be complete? Follows the same principle of someone outside the mint, modifying a mint coin, to make a different/missing collectible piece. I personally do not think modified coins should ever be considered a requirement to "complete" a set, however; if looking to capture the marketing hysteria that surrounds certain issues, it would make sense...along with all the special labels the TPG's market

    One difference here to reconsider is that those plated and or painted state quarters are not "missing" from the Mint's offerings the way the 2009 Proof ASE is missing from the Mint's offerings. The Mint didn't release a 2009 Proof ASE coin but the Mint have never produced plated and/or painted state quarters so that you could consider them missing elements the way the 2009 Proof ASE is indeed missing.

    People can collect anything and create collections of whatever they want. They can add whatever elements to suit their liking. Collect what you like. A collection does not have to be rigid and adhered to in the same way by everyone. When I said I was 'serious' about the DC coin, I was trying to suggest that I wasn't being flippant about the suggestion and that, for me, it has a place in my ASE collection. For Rick, we know from his response that it isn't a requirement to his collection. That's how he answered my reply to his original point, what to consider if he is missing anything in his collection. Similarly, you don't want plated or otherwise altered state quarters coins in your collection. Fair enough.

    I bought every issue from the Mint as they came out. All are still in the original packages. Was not lucky enough to get the 08 with the 07 reverse. Bought the rest of the MS issues from different dealers. I even saved all the Mint mail outs. Thought it would be cool to have these with the set.

    I really only want US Mint issues. I'm not into fantasy/Franklin Mint stuff.
    I have all of the Anniversary labels as well as plain labels from Anniversary years.
    I don't have the 2000 Millenium lable though. I may get it, but on the price guides,
    it's listed at $51.00 in PF69, and the only one I can find for sale is priced at $250.
    Too rich for my blood!
     
  16. $250 is way too high. I have seen these sell for around $60 or so. They are MS69 not PF69. PCGS costs more than NGC but you want NGC. Check out Greatcollections or Teletrade. TC

    There is the LEGACIES OF FREEDOM Set which contains the 2003 Silver Eagle & the 2002 Britannia silver coins. The ASE coin, as far as I know, is the standard 2003 issue so not really a different coin per se. This is also true of the millenium coin (I think).

    Just a comment on the Britannia in that set......it looks like a reverse proof and yet it's designated uncirculated.

    I would call Ricks' set complete, but then he collects the series like I do. :) Mine has many 'holes' in it waiting to be filled.

    Thanks for all of the comments and help.
    I don't think I need the Millenium and Britannia labels for my set to be complete.
    I do have the "NO S" and "NO W" labels, too.
    I'm thinking about listing my set in the NGC registry.
    Pros and cons?
    Thanks.

    I read Carr's explanation that this is legal tender, but how does ebay treat it? I just looked and can't find one. How 'bout postin' yours for sale with a $9,999.99 Buy It Now to prove ebay accepts it. :devil:

    From Carr's website: "Do not attempt to use these as legal tender. This product is NOT endorsed or approved by the US Mint, US Treasury, or US Government."
    Nowhere does he say that these are legal tender. They may be overstruck onto legal tender, but that does not make them legal tender. Many, many years ago, I melted a bunch of silver quarters (stupid of me, I know now). Is that lump of coin silver still legal tender?
