<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2734663, member: 80121&quot;]The vast majority of American Silver Eagles are made at West Point, because the bullion comes out at the beginning of the year, San Fransisco, and apparently in 2015, Phiadelphia have helped make the bullion coins to meet the initial beginning of the year demand. In 2015 only around 70,000 of the coins were made in Philadelphia (determined by the Freedom of Information Act request made by NGC and Coin World) that&#039;s why they are selling for over $500 each. Currently you can get a set of bullion ASE coins from all three mints for the years 2016 and 2017 from several different companies, at around $150 for the three, again determined by the serial numbers on the monster boxes of 500. Keep in mind millions of the the ASE were made and the vast majority come out of West Point. The burnished uncirculated and the Prooof ASEs (since 2001) are also made at West Point.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been saving them since the beginning, raw in a two Dansco Albums and graded MS69 by NGC. Two years ago a club member offered to sell me his PCGS graded set, in MS69 for a very attractive price. I have a grown daughter and son with children of their own and they have indicated that they would like to someday get the sets from me and continue to update them as the new ones come out. I will give a raw set and a graded set to each of them when I feel the time is right. They hope to make the sets a legacy set and pass the sets on to their children someday. I also enjoy collecting them, they are reasonably priced and fit into my collecting budget. I&#039;ve always believed that a person should collect what they like and not what someone else tells them to collect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
