Very impressive collection. Most of my SAE proofs in OGP were sold during a period of financial hardship about 15 years ago.
My father got me back into collecting SAEs when out of the blue a few years ago he presented me with a complete set of bullion strikes 1986-2019. I've since kept up with them and started a second set so I have one for each of my children. Also started buying from the mint last year. I got the last of the 2019 burnished strikes in June 2020, got the 2020 burnished in July 2020 and then started getting 2020 proofs and kept going in 2021.
I started working backwards on the burnished uncircs and have 2 sets done from 2014-2021 so far. Will be working on the rest.
I wasn't lucky enough to get one the few 2019-S Enhanced Reverse Proofs in 2020 when a tiny amount were made available, but I did manage to get two of the 2021 S-W Reverse Proof sets.

It can be said that getting all the ASE Proofs is not an easy nor cheap endeavor, but sure looks great when you have them all. Same can be said for the 7070 type set I guess.

True on all accounts! This will probably be a collection a lifetime in the making for me. I've got everything from the past 20 years but am missing a lot from 1985-2000 (particuarly the proofs). If I dedicated myself to it I'm sure I could finish it up quickly but part of it for me is the hunt and finding a good deal for the pieces I'm missing.

I started collecting the proofs back in the mid-2000s and had everything up to date then. Then I let it lapse until I came across one of my proofs in 2018 and started buying from the mint directly, and filling in the intervening years. Fortunately none of the proofs from 2010-2018 were scarce, and I got back into it just in time to get the 2019-S ERP and the 2020-W V75. The only proof I'm missing is the 1995-W, oh well maybe one day haha.

Proofs, Reverse Proofs, Enhanced Proofs, Enhanced Reverse Proofs According to PCGS it is around 52, but they are including the reverse and others as well. So I did a count of the regular proof coins and came up with about 44

Remind me never to pull out all my Silver Eagles and post them all in one photo. They take up five of those black proof set boxes, and with the exception of the obvious two, are complete in original government packaging, with air tites for the bullion pieces. 117 of them according to the database. The packaged ones include both burnished and proof of the years they were struck from 1986 through 2022. Subscriptions are in place for the 2023 issues.

Erscolo, I am going to do the count too. If the series is between 1986 thru 2022= 36 years, Count the Unc's, Pr's, Rev Pf, Enhanced Prf, Enhanced Rev Prf, and others, the count is NOT completed. 117, That must be with All the Bullion included, No....I hope to lay out and count EVERY single Mint Marked Coin in the series !!!! I have been collecting this series from 1986 to Date, I have NEVER layed out this set or any of my sets, I am going to be 67 this December and collecting for Well over 50 Years.... I am Just finding the time to Enjoy my Hard Hunting Days  Prizes........ Enjoy Coin Collecting !!!! |
