2013 American Eagle West Point Two-Coin Silver Set

Is the 2011 set the 5 coin 25th anniversary set?

So the number of coins for each set are:

2006 - 3
2011 - 5
2012 - 2
2013 - 2

I just want to make sure I am looking at the right sets on ebay.

Thanks.

Yes, I agree that some people chase the 2006 set as an alternative. However, I suspect the demand come from people who get/like the 2011 set and then realize they don't have the 2006 so they must get it and there are people like me who think it's becoming a series and want to get the "first coin of the series" to complete it...

When the 2006 came out, it was a stand alone set, as time dwindle, a portion of the mintage is removed from the market (natural attrition via gift giving, storage, loss, damage, etc) so even though the mintage was 250K, the market wasn't flooding with them.

The RP of 2006 was/is pricing on par with the 2011 RP (100K mintage, only 40% compare to 2006's 250K mintage). Another note: Before the release of the 2011 set, the 2006 raw set was still going cheap, only the graded one are pricey.... after the the 2011 set release, the 2006 raw set increase in price faster and a lot more than (compare to the graded 2006 set).

I don't think the 2006 set and/or the 2006 RP will increase in price significantly. The highest potential is in the 2011 set and its RP with the lowest mintage. The 2012 set and RP is a sleep for now and will probably only appreciate in a year or two. The 2012 set is plague with quality issue so the raw/69 set will always available and the price should stay reasonable. In the long run, the graded 70s of the 2012 set will probably command the highest premium.

If anything, look at the mintage of the Burnished -W ASE mintage of the last two years for some clue. I think the Burnished ASE mintage is an indication of the number of 'hardcore ASE collectors' and would expect the same range of mintage for this set. However, as I've mentioned, with the current silver market condition, we should assume a weaker demand for this set than normal.

Lastly, something that's unwanted today but have a large base of followers may catch fire some day latter on and become valuable. Just look at the 1995 W ASE, it was part of the gold set that's selling for $999 (very expensive, considering spot price at the time)===> not many people want/can afford it leading to only about 30K sets made. So, when the dust settle, the 1995-W is the most sought after coin with the lowest mintage that worth around $3K.

It's depend on if you are buying the raw set to grade or to keep it as it is. If you want 70s set, just buy the graded one; if you want raw set, just buy raw. Some of the flaws are negligible, some can be quite distracting..... over all, they are fine under naked eyes. However, the % of coins come back in MS/PF 70 was a lot lower than normal, that's what I mean when saying 'quality issue'.

I bought 5 raw set, sent into NGC for grading and get back 1 set + 1 coin in MS/PF 70 grade; I also bought a few graded set prior to send mine in for grading. I've used those graded set to wean out and return unwanted sets...... however, most of the set I've sent in still come back 69. The differences are impossible to detect as I don't know why most of my sets are 69 while the graded 70 sets are not much different. Anyways, I have a few extra graded set (69 and 70) that I am considering selling to get the cash for 2013 sets...... still considering eBay/Craigslist/CCF...... humh decision time.

Great potential with that coin but don't forget the S burnished from that set that also had a total mintage of 100k.

Can't even log into the Mint site right now.

Fifty Six minutes to get my order through.

They still have an antique system!

There's no chance of these selling out, right? They are taking orders for a month with no limit on mintage's. So why is everyone ordering right away? I thought I'd wait for a few weeks but is it possible to miss out?

Thanks.
