Message:: [QUOTE="Virginian, post: 2867420, member: 27579"]This will be the third lowest mintage of all ASEs, after 1995-W and 2011-S / 2011 Reverse Proof.  So for folks who are collecting all of the ASEs, these coins have some value.  Otherwise . . . they are just bullion. On one hand . . . going rate on the 2011s at the famous auction site are about $170+ in PR69.  Going rate for the 1995-W in PR69 is north of $3000. On the other hand . . . you can still get the 2017-S from the Congratulations Set in PR69 for about $100.  Until recently I thought that the prices on these factored a built-in an expectation that there would be at least 100K of the 2017 LESPS.  Now that it is set at 50,000, I thought that the price would rise.  But it hasn't yet. I bought a couple when the Congrats Set was released, but that is because I collect them.  I never intended to flip or sell them.  I have  have a couple of the 2017 silver proof sets because I collect them, too.  I find it interesting that I paid $102.90 for both the 2017 Congratulations Set and the 2017 silver proof set . . . and yet they are selling this 2017 LESPS for $139.95.  What am I missing here? Personally , , , I do not see much flip opportunity here. And since I already bought all of these coins (and more - the proof nickel, the proof Sacagawea dollar, and the proof penny) from the mint earlier this year for less money . . . I am passing on these.  YMMV.[/QUOTE]
