Foxwoods.....
They haven't done those "Dollar Sets" since 2007 I believe (maybe '08) Which I'm not happy about, because I liked those ! .....
I didn't "cancel" as mentioned a couple times, because I don't mind having these Burnished ones, even though I don't collect them.
The Proofs are "my" thing........and this special 5 coin Set coming out as well.
I want the individual Proof AND the 5 coin Set ! I would never bust the coins out of this Set......so the fact that I'll have 2 Burnished, and 1 Proof already, PLUS the 5 coin Set, doesn't bother me at all.
Who would bust a coin "out" of this Set just to put it into an ASE album ? ....
A few perhaps....but not I.
So, I need the Set too.
And as far as "switching shops"...... I only have two in town and they're both the same way....... "your Proofs are no more than Bullion right now until Silver settles back down."
I do have another coin shop in a nearby town.... Lawrence, Ks ....about a half an hour away. But I'm afraid all of them are operating under the same theory here.
They are having THOUSANDS of dollars of gold and silver coming into their coin shops EVERY DAY.......people who are selling and want cash, or some even buying gold and silver thinking it will keep going up in value.
This has just EXPLODED for them in the last year or so.
My "rant", I guess, is just because this is the only way I've ever sold a coin (and I've sold VERY few....junk silver and a couple gold coins). These coin shops are "my" only avenue.
So....... Uncirculated Burnished ASE's will not even retain their issue price here, not even by HALF ! .......unless the silver market jumps up and spot price would equate that.
I would never sell a Proof Eagle.....and so these Uncirc's. are "available" for me to sell in the future if I want to......which I may not. But to take this bad of a "hit" on money value right off the bat......at least locally...... really stinks !

this issue will probably not be a money maker since it will also be issued in the 5 coin set and most likely in a dollar set packaged with the $1 coins of 2011.
