I've received my set today but the eagle seems to have an issue on the reverse. On the shield there seems to be something pushing down from the top border. Anyone have a clue what this is?

The reverse proof ASE is by far the prettiest coin I have ever seen from the mint in my opinion.

Oh, I see it on this photo too, maybe I am an odiot and it's actually a design element. I'm going to have to look at my other eagles

I learned something new today. I agree it's a beautiful coin.

That's a good looking coin finish. My sets are somewhere between Canada and Rome.

Is PCGS doing a label for the RCM or
US mint ?


I was told they are when I emailed them yesterday, but it wouldn't hurt to call and confirm.


Quote:
If PCGS is not doing the different locations, would I be able to open the original box and pick out the one best set and send it in and still get the first strike label.


You can open the box and check them if you want and still get first strike from PCGS as long as you ship them to PCGS by August 2nd for the US sets.


Quote:
Looking for opinions, I have 15 sets 3 boxes not opened should I open them and look for the best coins to send into NGC and sacrifice the US set destination on the label? I called NGC they said I couldn't put a minimum grade of 70 unless you are a dealer and sending in over 100 coins


PCGS would let you put a minimum of 70 if you wanted, but you will be charged for each coin regardless.

I would check the US coins for quality personally. Any unlabled set is going to be assumed to be the US one and I think any difference will be marginal at best for that one. Getting the Canadian one labeled is the important one.

Good point. I wasn't planning to send my set in, but now mostly likely will. Hopefully the TPGs will put the certificate number on the slabs, but that may be too much to ask.

I was thinking about asking that too. I think they may just run out of room on the label though for that. Also I think that if you had a low cert number that would help, but a high one may actually hurt the value a bit unless it's at the very end.

Sales figure for the ASE set, up to July 7: 95,308 sets were sold. 4,692 floating somewhere out there from the U.S. mint...

Yes, I do believe within the next 6-12 months, when more and more people world-wide realize how uniquely beautiful the ASE is from this set, the demand for it - and price - will double or triple....

Putting the cert number on would help eliminate submission of repackaged coins. If not on the label, they could add it to the cert lookup on their website.

I got my two sets a day earlier than they said. I'm looking at them now, kind of an anticlimactic feeling. The rush of the anticipation of getting them was stronger than the rush of actually getting them. So what do I get next? I need to feed my silver addiction.

HappyHippo: Be happy knowing maybe 10 years from now your silver collection will be worth 3x or 4x as it's worth today. Buy a new car or give it to kids or grandkids! I think the way the ASE looks in the Pride of Two Nations set, and its very low mintage, its price is bound to double or triple within the next couple years. Not sure about the Canadian Maple Leaf.

I have no idea what the future prices of the metals will be, But if history is any indication of future performance, then your silver collection will be worth on 50% -75% of it's worth today.
Generally,Buying from the USM has not been a way to make money.
The only purchase I made from the USM that has been profitable was the 2011 25th Anniversary sets. Bought five sets, sold three which covered my costs for all five, and still have two sets at zero cost.
I admit to hopelessly collecting graded ASE going back to 1986. I wish USM would change the design so I could stop my obsession.
