    V. Kurt Bellman Yes, I'm blunt! Get over your "feeeeelings".

    It's the "early" way to a San Fran proof ASE. But not the ONLY way.

    I could have sworn the literature said it was an "S", not that I paid real close attention at the time.

    I'd nip you on the ankles but I can't get that low.

    I like collecting the Congrats set. They all paid off handsomely the other year.

    I was goign to order mine .. but waiting for the Moon stuff on the 24th. You can order the Congrats all year long as they have no limits.

    They paid off handsomely because it was the first time a proof had the S mint mark, and it was extremely limited, as far as proof eagles go.

    but all of them going back went for ridiculous prices. Not just that years S. And weren't they available in the LES (which I have too).

    one of my past postings about it.

    Yes. But I think that only happened because of the first S proof in 2017. Because they were all labeled as Congratulations sets on the label, at least until the Limited Edition set came out, they started showing up in registry sets. And then once that happened, the price for the others rose like crazy. And it was the registry chasers that had to have them to keep their sets complete.

    This was probably the number one reason I got so fed up with eagles and sold over 150 graded ones and quit collecting them. That and the 2015 struck at Philly. Seriously took all the fun out of collecting, and it was the TPG's decision to include all these varieties of the same fricking coin.

    'ya know ... a fool and their money.

    I know a good "feeding frenzy" windfall profit when I see it and took advantage of it. The coins to me were not what they were to the registry set ppl.
    I don't miss them.

    Everyone always blames the registry sets but it isn't. ASEs have a large market of people that one one of every one and consider the different products to be different.

    There are NO WHERE near enough registry sets to be moving the price on ASEs but people always try and push that agenda. PCGS has under 3k registered ASE sets, drop in the bucket for EVERY ASE product offering.

    It get's a little old that people always try and blame registry sets without actually looking what's going on just because they disagree with what the market has decided.

    Please explain it to us then. Until the 2017 S proof came out, in the congratulation set, the previous years Congratulation sets were not even part of the registry set.

    Edit to add: It's not even a different eagle before 2017. The only difference is the label. And the only place the label matters is the registry set.

    I already did.

    There is a big market of people who want every ASE in every release or like those special type releases.

    PCGS has about 2100 ASE sets, even if you say it's double with NCG thats only 4200 and you would have to try and argue every single one of them is trying to get every single thing ect when in reality like always half or more are almost certainly casual sets at best.

    ASE's are a popular coin and people like them in all the ways they're released. It's no different than a Morgan collector having an 1884-CC and an 1884-CC GSA.

    That one year of the set with the "S" mint ASE started the frenzy. I do own 2 of the S mint marked proof ASE's, but I don't buy the other Congratulations Sets.

    I don't understand why someone would pay a premium for a "W" mint marked ASE just because it was in some set. Shrugs shoulders.

    I just bought the standard ASE proof with the box. Always do though any need by my heirs to unload it will likely require a garage sale.

    I also get these directly from the mint. I love the piece. I still can't call it a coin.
