Enhanced, huh. :scratch: I can't wait either, although I was really hoping for high definition or 3D. Hey, as long as it is not available in any other offering, I will be happy to add it to my ASE collection. TC
The enhanced eagle modifications sound pretty interesting. The reverse proof....not so much. I don't understand why they are trivializing what was once an out-of-the-ordinary finish. I guess this means next year we will have another 2-coin eagle set with a D-mint reverse proof. That way, all of the mints will have been covered and none will feel slighted. How creative!
Interesting concept. If the picture can be used as a model for what the coin will look like in hand we're just one step away from colorization of these pieces. Still, I'll add one to the collection........
Hey, green, how did you know? I just got off of the phone with John Mercanti and he emailed the prototype for next year's "special" ASE offering. Isn't she lovely? Isn't she wonderful? (I think that's from a song.) Wouldn't it be so gross if they actually did release something like that?
I like the sound of the real "new" ASE announced above.... very interested to get this one. I suspect it will be around the $150 level for the 2 coin set.... Would prefer something in the $110-$125 range.
NGC and PCGS are licking their chops readying special labels to pull the bills,change and lint out of our pockets. They might even get one of the mint janitors to sign the graded slabs in order to charge us more. I like the coin ideas but not as much as the greedy graders. If I do decide to buy which I most likely will OGP is the way I will go.....
Nah, this is par for the course. They're hardcore practicing hucksters, and have been for a good long while already. These sort of concocted coins are the results of marketing research studies, customer surveys and feeding the public-beast that bemoans ordering limits, deficiencies in order processing and yet go on to lust willingly snapping at buying one, five, ten+ of everything released, out of fear of missing something "collectible" or wishfully proflipitable...
I'll most likely pick up 2 sets, just as I did with the 2012's. I'll give my opinion on it when I see the coin in hand.
