While this comparing the 2006
ASE 20th Anniversary Set to this MoD set is not apple-apple comparison, however it will give some perspective for some 'not so pro' collectors. I hope this will help them make better/wiser decision.
First, why I choose the 2006
ASE set as an example?
- Issue price was $100 (if I remembered correctly)
- Silver spot price was around the same range as now
- Long enough history for us to see (about 9yrs) and predict a possible pattern for this MoD set.
Note: I know the collector base for
ASE vs Rosie Dime is different and that will contribute to price appreciation. So,
we are only looking the TREND of similar sets.
Let look at some number for the raw set:
- Prior to the
ASE sets frenzee (2011, 2012, 2013), this set was selling for about $200+ (how do I know, I had an opportunity to buy one in 2009/2010 but didnt)
- At the height of the
ASE sets frenzee (2011, 2012, 2013) this set was selling for about $300 then climbed to $400+
- Current
ebay retailer price is around $300/set (some Auction result realized lower, in the $250 range)
==> So this set will most likely see a jump in price, if down the road the Mint do something similar to the
ASE to create a frenzee. May be someone can keep an eye for the 1996-W dime and see how this MoD set release impact its price.
Now let us look at the price graded coins:
- PF/MS70 complete set sold for over $1000. Here are some listing:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2006-W-P-AM...em3f3422d60dhttp://www.ebay.com/itm/3-COIN-SET-...271457637901http://www.ebay.com/itm/2006-W-Silv...271457637901- The UNIQUE 2006-P Reverse Proof in PF70 was in the $300 range pre-frenzee and now at around $500+ range. Here's one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2006-P-AMER...em1c43754af9- Non-Unique 2006-W Proof in PF70 (with the 20th Anniversary pedigree) stay relatively the same at around the $110 range. Why? There are many 2006-W PF so getting the PF70 is not hard and for to get the pedigree in PF70 is not hard either because it's a PF coin with better striking quality. Here's one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2006-W-PF70...em35e9edcbe3- Non-Unique 2006-W Burnished in MS70 (with the 20th Anniversary pedigree) was around the $300 range pre-frenzee and now at $700+ range, IF you can find one (here's one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2006-W-1-AM...m35e95276b9. WHY? This one is totally opposite of the 2006-W PF since it's the first Burnished coin, the quality is not as high, harder to get in MS70 (just do a search on
ebay), it's even HARDER to get MS70 with the pedigree. I didn't buy one of the 2006-W Burnished in MS70 so I will NEVER have a completed 70 set for 2006
ASE. I will be getting a OGP set though.
===> There are many of the 2006
ASE sets in OGP on the market and it keep the price stable
===> Once the set is opened, the pedigree for the common coin is GONE.
===> The MoD set doesn't have a non-proof coin so the quality/chance for PF70 is high and the PF $1 WILL COMMAND HIGHER PRICE than the one w/o the MoD set pedigree but it will not run up like the 2006-W Burnished in MS70 w/ pedigree.
This also bring back another point: Those of you missing/wanting to get a complete set of 2011
ASE set in 70 it may be a good time to look for.
I've got my raw sets, so now I will buy my graded 70 set, it's not worth it to send these in to grade nor buy the 69 sets. I am the type of all inclusive collectors. I like to cover my base and have at least 1 of each kind. It's a big problem for someone with small pocket book like me.
