<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Speedie, post: 1293828, member: 28064&quot;]Not sure I agree with that. There have been 805,897 ASE Proofs sold so far this year which speaks to the number of collectors interested in this series. Although there can only ever be 30,125 collectors with a complete set of ASEs, the series is clearly extremely popular and those who don&#039;t have the 1995-W will still want to keep their sets otherwise complete.</p><p><br /></p><p>Saying that 1 coin has been done before, and another has been offered many times before but this one has a different mint mark, seems an odd position for a collector to take? The 1893-S Morgan had been done before, and was done the same year with a different mint mark, but collectors of that series would still give their right arm for one. An extreme example, and I&#039;m not trying to equate the two valuation-wise so please don&#039;t misunderstand (I wish!).</p><p><br /></p><p>JMHO but what we&#039;re seeing with Ebay prices right now is a dearth of buyers who don&#039;t trust pre-sales (those who do probably already bought) and a glut of sellers, many of whom may be overextended on credit cards and need to sell NOW. That will work itself out in the next several weeks and then we&#039;ll get an idea of the worth of real, in hand sets.</p><p><br /></p><p>One last thought: we may also be seeing a &quot;Comex&quot; type situation where flippers are flipping sets that they themselves bought in pre-sale auctions before 10/27. Therefore there may well be phantom supply on Ebay. What remains to be seen is how many actual sets end up on the market once shipping starts versus how many are tucked away sealed in safes and closets or shipped off to dealers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
