proof ASE's

Does anyone else collect proof, slabbed ASE's? Are certain dates worth seeking for the numismatic value? Opine if you will...thanks.

I believe there are key dates if you want to collect 'em.

 

I have had everything Proof American Eagle graded.
Mainly because it easier for me to keep boxed.

 

Meaning the slabs store easier?

 

there miight be 3-4 key dates the most valuable one is the 1995w normally you can buy the wole set for the cost of the ase if you get it in the OGP

 

What are the key dates besides the 95w?

 

I have a few, and don't know why

 

I have them all, and have been getting them from the mint or my LCS every year since 86. I got lucky on the 95-w, I believe I paid about $90 for it in 95 because a friend of mine bought the set for the gold and didn't care much about it. I still rib on him for that one.

 

That's a bargain.

 

Aside from the 1995-W, the 1994 and the 2006 Reverse Proof are the toughest and most expensive in the set.

And jeez, Kirk, I'm jealous.

 

Image those that bought the regular 4 piece gold set without the ASE for the same price.

 

I'd be pissed , I'd buy the set if I could right now

 

If I ever have the pleasure of meeting you, Kirk, remind me to keep a close eye on my wallet.

 

Come see me for Mardi Gras, I know you are right down the road. I suggest travelers checks...

 

I used to live in Uptown so I have had my fill of Mardi Gras. Besides, I quit drinking. Can't think of a worse way to stay on the wagon.

 

There are only two of the P that are more than the other ones
1993P which is about $70 and the 1994P which is about $145.
Now there are special proofs like the W proofs that are worth a little more. 1995W about 3-4K is the most expensive. The reverse proofs and some of the other go for a bit more W (and many were is special sets). If I am missing anything I am sure that the others on this forum will remind me.

 

Thanks.

 

I don't bother slabbing or buying slabbed Proof ASE's... I think they look better in the original box but the slabs do make storage easier.... now for Business Strike ASE's, I only buy slabbed.... here's a small example...
