What Do You Think The 25th ASE Set Will End Up Being Worth

I was able to sell my 5 sets for $3600, so $720 per set. I decided to liquidate now as I think the prices will be highest while there is a feeding frenzy from all the collectors and dealers. My girlfriend got 3, so I still have one to hold onto as I do enjoy the collecting aspect as well. If the price goes up, I'm still happy, if down, I'm really happy. Long term, I would estimate around $550-$650. It's hard to compare the 2006 set. The reverse proof is worth about $250 which makes up the vast majority of the set's value. However, with this set, you can't just say, that set tripled, so will this set or more as it's a lower mintage. As the set gets more expensive, fewer people are willing to pay that much per set. I think there will be very strong collector demand around the $500 mark, but the sets will probably end up closer to $600-$650. In essence, if you buy the set later, you will really only be paying for the two unique coins.

@ mr_slow: What is your reasoning if I may ask? Are you thinking this is still a good buy situation and the prices will continue to climb?

So now a lot of members are getting their sets.

If your selling your extra sets what price are you getting?

I you did not get a set .. and your buying .. what did/are you paying.

I missed getting my sets today .. I will stay home all day tomorrow to get the package.
I am still not sure what to do with my 5 sets.

I have been sending in ASE's to be graded for many years now and I can say it is EXTREMELY rare to get anything below MS69 on collector coins (PF's and W's). Bullion coins from a Mint tube are another issue.

Those MS69 prices will make grading VERY worthwhile and that 70 set at $1900 is a major bargain....

I will add that prices for graded sets available now are NOT a market indicator as there are way too few sets available. Wait a couple of weeks when they all start showing up for sale.

A normal market for these high demand products initially sees a spike in prices as those who didn't get sets feel the need to get one "before the price goes up"

Then as more sets come on the market it becomes saturated and prices drop as the market tries to find a real base price. Right now it is just the raw set market that is developing. There are not enough graded sets out there yet.

Months later, as the market matures AND there continues to be collector demand, a true price level will emerge. This price could be anywhere.

I will add that the raw set market price hung in there much longer than I thought with all those sets hitting the streets at the same time. This bodes well for the graded sets since there were a LOT of open sets and key coins for sale excluding them from full set grading...

I think these will be long term big winners but don't be surprised to see a temporary drop very soon...it will be a great buying opportunity for those needing sets.

I picked up my 5 sets from the Post Office today. I can't imagine why the box is so heavy. I will leave it sealed for now until I decide what to do with it. I had originally planned to keep 2 and sell 3, all raw, but after seeing some of the prices I am just not sure now. I am quite tempted to send them to PCGS. It is difficult not to open the box.

As long as there are 2 unique coins in the set, the value will keep up nicely.

However, if it turns out there is a third unique coin, it gets even better.

i think the price is going to settle in the $600 range for a while then when the dust clears go down to about $550.00
