[QUOTE="Beefer518, post: 2873382, member: 87737"]I'm trying to figure this out. Between the Congratulations set, and this LE set, there are 125,000 2017-S ASE's available. Yet people are finding this number 'low'? Too low to bother obtaining it to complete a set? In my humble opinion, if you're collecting a set, collect the set. I'm working on a double set (raw and slabbed) of Old Silver Commemoratives. I fully intend on getting one of the 9,948 Hawaiians, 15,000 Cincinnatis, 14,994 Ft Vancouvers, and one of the 10,008 Hudsons that were minted, and I'm going for MS condition. I already have one of the 6,006 Alabama 2x2's, and one of the 6,000 Norse American Thin Planchet medals, which are each over 90+ years old, and 3% (each) of the mintage numbers of this ASE. Are they easy to get? Yes and no. Are they expensive? Can be. Is it rewarding to 'fill that hole'? Hell yeah! That is what collecting a set is all about to me. Making the conscious decision to start and finish the set, easy or difficult, and reaping the rewards of having done what you set out to do. Otherwise, take your participation award, feel good about it, and sit down.[/QUOTE]
