Message:: [QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2209578, member: 15929"]A lot of collectors purchase these every year. But..........2011 was a lousy year to buy them due to the US Mints mark up. It was probably the ONLY year where the 2011-W Uncirculated SAE actually sold for more than the 2011-W Proof coin from the US Mint.Of course, 2011 also marked the 25th Anniversary of the program with the 5 coin Anniversary Sets selling for $1200 each due to a 5 Household ordering limit for a product that was limited to 100,000 sets. These sold out within 3 hours of going on sale but should NOT be confused with the regular 2011 Bullion pieces nor the individually priced Proof and Uncirculated versions.2012 and 2013 had their own SAE sets but these have simply not done a doggoned thing due to tighter ordering limits and higher production limits (supply and demand). Be very careful about the prices paid for the Uncirculated examples from the US Mint since their prices are in fact tied to the value of bullion and the only difference between them and the bullion pieces is that W Mint mark and some fancy packaging.[/QUOTE]
