2013-W ASE Two Coin Set

(Reverse Proof) :smile These two coins are exclusive to the set.The set will be offered during a one month window from May 13 to June 13, 2013 the set would be minted to meet demand for the orders placed during the ordering window. Mintage should be low do to this,Like the 2012 San Francisco two coin set,That mintage was lower than the 2006 three coin set, So this set will probably be another low mintage record breaker imo !

"The set will include a reverse proof Silver Eagle with the “W” mint mark and an uncirculated Silver Eagle with the “W” mint mark. The uncirculated coin will differ in some way from the regular uncirculated coin offered separately. This creates the potential for the set to contain two coins exclusive to the set."

Wonder how the uncirculated coin will be different from the regular collector piece.

 

High relief?? I can only hope...

edit: or just burnished...

 

That would be nice........

 

I wonder how much they're going to cost. Every time they do this they increase the price of the set. I'm thinking about getting one set for my birthday in May but only if they aren't outrageously expensive.

 

Following the overdue plummet of silver back to $5/oz, sudden budget surplus and bolstering of the dollar against world currencies so much so that oil will see $20 a barrel again...just about at that point...I'm figuring the 2013 set will come in right around $25 per!



Disclaimer: Reality might cause that estimate to vary a little on the high side.

 

This or similar, naturally.

I think it would be neat to have edge incussion (and for me to receive the sets that 'forgot' that new design element, yet remain uniquely identifiable to the set). I don't ask much really.

 

I'm passing. The mint is becoming pathetic IMO. Go Canada!

 

Yeah, and the world's gonna end in 4 days..........:devil:

 

Can someone explain 'burnished' to me? Im not that familiar with ASEs outside of normal mint issues

 

All it means is that the mint prepares the dies a little differently, by burnishing them, ending up with a slightly different look to the end product.

 

This isnt directed at you specifically or anything, but can someone post some pictures of the differences between a regularly mint issued ASE and a burnished version. I cant really google it right now

 

I’ll believe they’re both exclusive to the set when the mint puts it in writing on the order page.

 

Don't have a pic, but the burnished has a more uniform matte finish. Often, especially in pics, it's difficult to tell the difference between a burnished and a regular unc.

 

Tell me, what color is the sky in your world?

 

To me the reverse is where the difference shows up the most between the two. I also used the 2006 as my 2011 anniversary set has absolutely no visual difference between the W burnished and the regular (W) bullion coin.
Pic 1 is a 2006 standard bullion issue and has a brighter more reflective silver look to the field's . The stars and the eagle stand out from the field.
Pic 2 is the 2006 W burnished issue (non anniversary set) the coin looks a uniform light gun metal grey in comparison. So the eagle, stars, and fields all have the same dull finish to them because the blanks were polished in addition to the dies. That makes the stars especially look to almost blend into the field instead of standing out from it.

 

It MUST be high relief, or something, because the W unc. are already burnished.

 

The W mintmark, of course. I imagine that's the only way it will differ.

 

I'll be buying

 

Yeah I'll most likely order a couple sets if the money is there.
