Any News On 25th Anniversary ASE Set?

Don't want to sell on ebay because of the crazy selling fees. Trying to sell for around $750 a set. Does that seem fair?

Five ASE slabs fit in the blue lacquered box like a glove. That's why I've snagged up a few OGP boxes/COA's (minus coins) on ebay. Figured they'd make a perfect display case for a 70 Set. Normally, I'm not into slabs very much (except for authentication of keys like the 1909-S VDB and the 1916-D Merc), but a Set of five 70 slabs in the OGP is very tempting. Course, I'd have to pay through the nose, since my five Sets are open, in OGP and will stay that way!

38388xxx is still in process, backordered too. status of SHIPPED will be a great xmas present from the mint to me.

I don't have a regular issue bullion 2011 Eagle to do comparison with, so, a bit stuck on all this talk about the different finish being reported on the 25th ann. bullion coin...all I know is ALL 4 of my no-mintmark Eagles in my sets all have a true matte finish, and, look entirely different than the W & S-Mint coin..satin finish is the best way to descibe it, and, VERY handsome..
Here's from the MINT NEWS BLOG:

Unique Coins of the Set
The sets are particularly desirable because of the inclusion of two coins (or possibly three) unique to the product offering. The confirmed unique coins are the 2011-S Uncirculated Silver Eagle and the 2011-P Reverse Proof Silver Eagle. Each of these coins have a mintage of only 100,000 pieces, which rank as the second lowest mintage American Silver Eagles ever issued by the US Mint.
As collectors have started to examine their sets, some have identified a potential difference for the bullion Silver Eagle included. Some initial reports found a difference in the finish compared to bullion coins issued through the regular channels. Later reports have identified a "dent" or "dimple" on the middle tail feather of the eagle on the reverse, which seems to appear only on the bullion coins included in the 25th Anniversary Sets.

25th Anniversary Set Update
Posted by Mint News Blog | Filed Under: Silver Eagles
It seems that the majority of orders for the 25th Anniversary Silver Eagle Set have shipped, although each day a few collectors report their orders finally shipping. The last post on this topic has continued to be updated by readers with their latest status, shipping dates, and other observations. The post has now reached 879 comments. I wanted to start a fresh post with some brief updates and for collectors to provide new status reports.
To recap, the 25th Anniversary Sets went on sale at the US Mint on Thursday, October 27, 2011 at 12:00 Noon ET. After just four and a half hours, the Mint received orders for the entire 100,000 maximum production. Orders continued to be accepted for placement on a waiting until the following morning. The Mint started shipping the first sets to collectors the week of November 7, a few weeks earlier than expected.

Capsules Opening During Shipping
There have been many reports about the plastic capsules containing the coins opening during shipping. In some cases, readers have reported finding individuals coins rattling around unprotected within the box. This is understandably upsetting and particularly unfortunate for this product offering since if returned for quality issues, it is probably unlikely that replacements sets could be issued.
Third Party Grading
Some collectors are choosing to send their sets to third party grading companies such as PCGS or NGC for encapsulation and grading. In order to have all five coins in the set identified as coming from the 25th Anniversary Sets, the companies have required submission of the coins within the sealed US Mint shipping boxes.
Some early information seems to indicate a high proportion of coins grading MS70 and PR70. This is surprising since the coins must be submitted "blind," i.e. collectors do not have an opportunity to view the coins and select the best ones for grading. It is also surprising given the problem of opening capsules mentioned above.
For the 2006 20th Anniversary Sets, around 10-20% of coins seemed to be receiving the top grades. For the 2011 25th Anniversary Sets, the earliest population report data available shows more than 50% of coins receiving the top grades. This may change or shift lower as time passes and more coins are graded, but it is certainly something to watch if contemplating paying a big premium for top graded coins.
Separately, there has been some controversy about policies for returning the original Mint packaging. You can read more in this CoinUpdate article.
Waiting List Status
As mentioned, the US Mint accepted orders for placement on a waiting list after orders were received for the maximum mintage. Orders are fulfilled from the waiting list in first-in, first-out sequence in the event that sets become available due to the order cancellations. The waiting list period seems to be from around 4:30 PM ET to the following morning around 10:15 AM ET.
There have been reports of some orders placed near the end of the waiting list period having been canceled by the Mint. Presumably, there were so many waiting list orders ahead in the list that these would have no chance of being fulfilled. There still seem to be a large number of collectors with waiting list orders that have not yet been canceled. When checking the status with the US Mint's Track Order function, these will say " Your order request is in process."
The latest order numbers that have been reported as "in stock and reserved" or "shipped" seem to be #38382xxx. If anyone has any later order numbers that have shipped or other information, as always, please post in the comments.

my order 38380xxx shipped today also Hopefully all CCF members still waiting get theirs. It has been a long month waiting for an early Christmas present.

I had to change my post, because I was looking for individual anny set ASE and I'm not noticing to many broken up sets yet.

Because of the many open sets sold already the hardest to find individual coins will be the non-keys. The S and RP will be easy (but expensive) because they can be graded with the set label anytime but the PF, W, and bullion issues will be in demand for those trying to complete a graded set.

It will take a while for those to hit the market. Lots of sets are still gathering dust in the grading company's vaults.
