How can one get 2, isn't per household? You would need 2 addresses?

Seems like even getting lucky to have your transaction go through without getting timed out is going to be a challenge with this release.

Good thing I am not an ASE collector and already have a reverse proof ASE in the Pride of Two Nations set.  By the way, I think that is the best reverse proof execution yet. I hope this one comes out just as well. |

The thing that I don't like is that they're actually lowering the possible number of complete sets. That's not a good thing when it comes to the longevity of the series. If they were so inclined to have such a low mintage, it would have been nice if they would have set the maximum mintage at 30,125.

Technically that's true but with the 95W Proof being almost exactly the same mintage as the 19S ERP (as you pointed out), I don't see that they're impacting things all that much. A delta of 125 on 30k is background noise (0.4%). And I don't think it's a stretch at all to state that there are not 30k complete ASE sets out there now, nor will there ever be anywhere close to that number. There are 76 95W on ebay right now and who knows how many in coin shops or pawn shops. |

You're right. I'm just thinking that whoever decided on the 30k limit didn't really consider those who are trying to complete the series or keep it complete. It's likely that a sizable portion of the 95-W's are in the hands of investors (actually speculators) who have absolutely no intention of completing the series. Add those coins to the ones that are for sale and I'd be surprised if there are currently over 20k complete sets.

If I get 1 or 2 I'm not going to complete a set. I'm buying so I can sell if it goes crazy priced.

It would be an interesting study to try to get an accurate picture of the number of complete sets out there but I suspect it is far south of 20k. Just a guess tho. |

Im sure there's quite a few of the 1995 10th anniversary sets that are intact and won't be broken down to sell just the 1995 W silver eagle still even 24 years later now and will remain that way for a really, really long time.

When I was searching for my 95-W, I did manage to find quite a few intact 1995 10th anniversary sets. The 95-W in every single one of them looked bad in one way or another. My conclusion is that virtually all the nice looking 95-W's have been slabbed. The ones that would 3rd party grade below PF-68 are kept raw or broken out of the low grade slab to go back in the sets.

I would be surprised if there are more than 10,000 complete ASE sets out there. |
