Any News On 25th Anniversary ASE Set?

The only coins from the mint that can even be reasonable associated with the true meaning of "First Strike" are the presidential coin covers. Those products contain coins from the first day of production, which fall under at least one meaning of the term. Since the mint does not track coins with respect to die use, there is no way of telling for sure whether a coin is one of the first or last struck with any given die pair, the other major meaning of the term. Even those first day cover coins could be late die state coins, depending on how many coins are actually struck on that first day of production. It is believed that the 2009 UHRDE die pairs only struck around 300 coins each, if that many. Circulation die pairs certainly strike many thousands of coins each. Proof (and "uncircualted") coins are struck under higher forces than circulation coins and because of that (and because of quality standards and other factors) the die don't last as long. Even "Early Release", which is at least a more correct term for the coins that bear the label, does not have any real meaning in terms of the coins themselves. There is nothing special about the coins other than the fact that they were minted and delivered before a certain date. By the time of the early release cutoff, many die pairs have been used and in some cases all production has ceased. It is not clear how these labels might be applied to the anniversary set coins since a rapid sellout is expected but delivery dates are as yet to be determined and production timing is unknown. Clearly all of the sets should qualify for those types of labels as they have been applied in the past, making the labels meaningless.

They also had "First Day Coin Covers" for the 50 State Quarters. These would be "First Strike" too.

Don't know if the ATB's are doing the F.D.C.C.'s too.

So although I'm more of a bullion stacker and less of a collector, I have to admit.. these sets are gorgeous! I'm having a hard time deciding on should I buy one or two sets. Would it be a smart move to buy an extra one with the intent of selling it and hopefully making some profit?
I just keep thinking of how many normal ASEs I could buy instead lol

Can someone tell me real quick what the "production mintage limit" was, to the first 2006 Reverse Proof ASE ?

Just curious, because "that" one has certainly maintained a nice profit margin from original issue price !
And I'm just wondering what the similarities might be with this Set here.
I know we'll have the normal "explosions" of exaggerated prices for these on ebay for a few months or so.
And we all know that the Home Shopping Network and all of those other private coin companies will be buying THOUSANDS OF THESE SETS ! So that they can bilk the public for even more money than ebay folks will charge.
But once everything FINALLY settles down with this Set......I wonder what price it will hang around at ?
What will it be worth 5 years from now ?
Assuming the price of Silver stays generally about where it is now.

I'm thinking to send 2 sets to NGC for grading, but they asked me to send the original box to them. How do I deal with the rest 3 sets?

Please give me some advice for these if you know about it!

Of course they want the original box, so they can keep it, and the capsules as well.

Or can somebody tell me differently, that the TPG send back the case(s) & capsule(s)?

I just took a quick look.......

And I see that the "Slabbed 70's" ARE going for around $500.00.
Not, probably, the "raw" ones though, I'm sure.

I also didn't look at any finished auctions to see what the "raw" 3 coin Set is going for. (which I'd be curious about too.)

But anyway......it must have been the "slabbed perfect 70 Reverse Proofs" that I had seen awhile back.

I'm not a "slab collector" by ANY means......but "IF" I'm able to score two of these Sets. Keep one and possibly sell one kinda thing......and if the "potential" is here for that kind of profit, like the 2006 shows...( ) with getting it slabbed........I might start thinking about this as well.
