One more thing,

Will someone play devil advocate and gives everyone here 5 great reason why they should purchase the 3-gold set 20th anniversary set for $2,610? I just purchase the 2 buffalos the pf & unc and cannot find a reason to considerate this set, but I know many of you can...

I would like to hear it, please.

Not sure I can make five great reasons kg2blade, but I'll give it a go.

1. The Mint seems to lend towards $200 per oz. over market value.
2. If gold hits $870 per oz, you would break even at spot bullion.
3. Mint packaging, assuming it comes in a case w/coa
(have not seen a picture yet)should bring the value up a tad.
4. It would make a sister 2006 enhancement to your collection.
5. If you don't have to miss a house payment,wait for the resales

I have been pondering the same set as well, but just can't seem to justify it at this time.
Then again I am still chasing the Buffalo's you have

The three coin silver set will have a special finished coin (Reversed Proof finish will be a first for the mint) along with a regualar Proof finish and a better than average uncirculated finish coin. All three of them will bear the 'w' mint mark.

Quite frankly, 250,000 coins is quite a figure. And it's almost certain that a lot of people will be stocking up on these for almost immediate resale, so I don't think that it will increase in price any time soon. Most coins from the mint that increase in value are those that have very low mintages, below 100,000.

All I want is one ASE, preferably in MS-70 condition (as graded by ANACS, NGC, or PCGS) so I can add it to my other ASEs. Just one. At bullion price (well, maybe a little more plus the grading cost).

ASEs are just about the most beautiful coin ever minted (in my humble opinion) except for my beloved Morgans. They have a certain majesty about them to which many coins strive, but seldom reach.

I need it in MS-70 condition to help round out my Mint State reference collection. If I can get an ASE in -70, I'll lack only an MS-67.

I'm not certain if having a collection with all possible grades (P-01 through MS-70, top TPG slabbed, any coin) would count as a type collection, but it sure would be a great teaching collection! I think I have most of the circulated grades covered (P-01 and P-02 are still missing; reckon I'll have to take one of my VF Morgans and put it out in the road for awhile ).

Just got my order confirmation numbers from the mint...tehehehe I ordered 10 ea of the 3 coin silver sets and 1 ea of the 3 coin gold sets....can't believe I just spent that much money...

good luck...I had three seperate windows open trying to get my order processes...it finally took after about 15 minutes trying...

The Mint site is workin fine now, as I had no problems at all placing my orders.

Had to buy three sets of the silver eagle coin sets in order to get the reverse finish coin. Already have three of the 1995W eagles so needed three of these to complete the mint sets. Guess I'll just give the other two out as gifts to friends and relatives needing something to talk about.
