Pride of Two Nations Set

So I came across the Pride of Two Nations Set that's going to be released to in early July. I think it's pretty cool and am planning to get one or two when they are released. I did notice that the 110,000 mintage limit seems a little higher than I would've liked to see, but it will be one of the lowest mintage eagles that they've ever released. I also came across the set that's being collaborated with the Royal Australian Mint and the Apollo 11 silver coin. That only has a limit of 10,000. I'm not really up on the RAM and was wondering what people's thoughts would be on the two sets and which would be a better buy. I think they're both pretty interesting and both around the same price point.

Is the eagle special in some way, and not available any other way?

 

This is what makes it special "the set will include an enhanced reverse proof 2019-W American Silver Eagle and a modified proof 2019 Canadian Silver Maple Leaf".
Sorry to say I'm not interested in the Maple Leaf only the ASE.

Wow that sounds good. But Meow is broke and on half rations right now so should put it out of Meow's mind. The last time Meow read a post like this, Meow went out and bought a American Legion dollar and medal set.

 

There’s pictures on the mints website of the coins.

 

If you think it will go up in value, save your money.

 

I'm not so sure they will go up in value, maybe my son will see something out of it. I do think it's a cool set and looks good. The Maple Leaf even looks nice in my opinion. If we're talking things going up in value, I'm blown away by these Lowell quarters with the W mint mark. I can't believe people are paying over $200 for them.

 

The cost will be high so I'm avoiding it.

 

The W quarters is all hype right now. In a couple of years they'll be $5 coins. Look at the Kennedy gold "coins" and the Baseball commems.

 

No, I completely agree, I think it's insane what people are paying for them. I see them going ungraded for $30-$40 and I can't imagine them going up like crazy ever. People will forget about them in 20 years and they wont be worth what people paid to have them graded.

 

$140, ouch. Knowing me, though, I may bite on this one for my ASE collection.

Mintage is 100,000, not 110k.

In line with the 2011, which is valued at this current issue price.

 

Does this mean it’s an early sellout in The Great White North or will they become available at the same time as the US Mint release?

 

I don't see anything there that indicates it is sold out.

 

Yes - but there is no option to purchase or a notation as to when they will be available for sale. Maybe they just do things different up there.

 

It's not on sale until July 3rd. 100,000 sets in the US and an additional 10,000 set in Canada.

 

Thanks

 

The Silver Eagle in this set is of particular interest to me.

My favorite US coin of all time is the Enhanced Uncirculated Silver American Eagle. They only made it one year, 2013, and the way that they use the frost/mirror contrast really made the US flag *pop*. For some it was the first time that they realized that Liberty was actually draped in the flag. It made it that obvious.

Anyways... This Enhanced Reverse Proof is going to use that same type of technique on the flag, except this time with a reverse proof instead of an enhanced uncirculated finish.

I am not generally big on the latest Mint offerings. They (mostly) all go down in value over time, so you need to buy them because you like them, not as an investment. That said, I own two of the Enhanced Uncirculated Eagles and I will likely want a couple of these as well.

 

The mintage it 110k....100k from the US Mint and an additional 10k from the RCM.

 

Thank you for the clarification. I was just going by what I saw on The US Mint sight, but now see the Canadian Mint info (above), as well. Still, close enough to the 2012 number.....as long as they don't offer it in another package or by itself.

Still, wondering about the mintage, as I/we sometimes get confused when they say "mintage limit", and this is what is on the US Mint site:
Item Number: 19XB
Mintage Limit: 100,000
Product Limit: 100,000
Household Order Limit: 5

Anyways, now I'm thinking I might be in for 2 sets, as that is the number of (currently) young'uns I plan to leave my collection.

 

Didn't I start a bloody thread about this? Didn't we conclude that we were being skrewed?

Carry on..........
