Any News On 25th Anniversary ASE Set?

The only issue I have with the FS/ER/FDOI labels is that they are or tend to be misleading to those who don't fully understand them. I have a big problem with PCGS stating that "First Strike" means "shipped in the first 30 days of availability" when those two words mean no such thing. To me that is a lot like saying "Filet Mignon" is "made from ground chuck", an outright lie, no matter how you define it. Early Release and First Day of Issue may be less misleading but are equally without meaningful content. As far as collecting them goes I think that whatever someone wants to do is their own business. I hope that they understand what they are doing and if they do then more power to them. If you know what you are doing that's great. If someone is trying to deceive you into thinking that these labels mean something that they do not then I have a problem with that.

"I guess I should be ashamed but I am Not. I buy the First Strike From PCGS and Have 70 MS and PRDC Eagle for every year it has Existed. I like the Label and will not buy an Eagle without it. I also have all First strike State Quarters Clad and silver as well as National Parks to date
I am in my late 60s and have been collecting for 50+ years and believe it is my choice alone what I collect"

Do you get your slabs ASAP when they are released or look for the best buy ? IMHO I sense more hoarding than collecting .
I am a hoarder. I buy ms 70 W eagles all day.

Some people have a better way of getting the point out there, I do NOT care what anyone collects, I was trying to put it out there the entire FS and FDOI, and ER slabs, to an educated person does not exist, and is an out and out falsehood!!! Happy Holidays to all......

The best example of this is the PCGS 2006 w silver eagle
the ms 70 is listed at 300 the 20th anniversary FS is at $2000
The coins were all struck at the same time
why is one 10 times more ?

Because you buy them.

My set of 2011 Silver Eagle Complete with First strike Labels All MS/PR 70

I stuck my mint box into another box and took it to the post office.
Plan on spending 20 minutes at the post office while they tape every single seam and
stamp it 100 times...

It is only an opinion,but I think they will hold or go up Near term.

I have been tracking since they came out, hoping to pick up some at a decent price but they aren't going down.

I believe long term they will go up

I think now is a decent time to get them. The prices aren't as high as they were on ebay when they first came out. I think now you can get one for around $650-750? They were in the $800 range when the first flippers started selling, if I recall. I doubt they will decrease in value, but I also don't think they will have a significant increase enough to beat inflation either.
