<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 611813, member: 9474"]Jack, sounds like you have a cousin who is being very, very generous. As pointed out, these coins that are being offered to you are worth a lot more than $15. Back in 1995, the US Mint made three ASEs that year. Two were proofs and one was bullion aka "uncirculated". The "standard" proof which just over 400,000 were minted should have a "P" on the reverse. These were minted in Philly. Also to commemorate the 10 year anniversary of the American Eagle program the mint made another proof coin. Those coins were stamped with an "W" for West Point and were produced only in a 5 coin set with 4 American Eagle Gold coins. There were about 30,000 of these made which makes these worth a lot. I suspect based on your package description that you have the regular proof coins. Please post pics as the group likes to see nice coins. Congrats and good luck. Hope you stick around Coin Talk because there are some great people on here and some better information to be found.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
