The 2013 Annual Uncirculated Dollar Coin Set (XA5)
contains $5 face in additional coins and costs only $1 more than the 2013 Uncirculated ASE (GB2) by itself, so why not? If you wanted the 2013-W Unc. ASE and didn't need the OGP blue box, you can save $4 by buying this Set and spending the small Dollars (or possibly net more by selling the small Dollars on the Bay). Also, the mintage on the 2012 Unc. Dollar Coin Set (OGP) was under 30,000 units  I bought one GB2 2013-W (Blue Box/COA) for box/COA continuity in my ASE collection, and I'll buy several of the XA5 Unc. Dollar Coin Sets.  Edited by DNA

I've been buying 5 or so sets every year they have been available and will do the same this year. I think it's a good looking set
I usually open one set and keep the rest intact..

I am not collecting ASE, but if I were, I would get this set because DNA is right on the money with his logic. |

No, not this year. I have already bought my dollar coins (not the ASE though)elsewhere so I'm all set. Next year I am looking to buy ALL of my needs from the Mint. I'm going to buy the Uncirculated set, Proof set, and Silver Proof set, and I'll pay less that way than what I have been doing now by buying them one at a time. Of course I'll be buying some doubles (the dollar coins, nickel, and cent) by buying both proof sets, but I'm thinking I can get my money back on those somehow. |

Got them last year, can't see a reason not to buy them this year. Artfully produced and attractive glossy folder for the burnished ASE and the five $1 coins. As a matter of fact the packaging has improved leaps and bounds over the 2010-11 years, particularly the boxes for the various annual proof sets. Let's hope the Mint continues to improve the packaging trend in 2014. |

I've actually disliked the mint set packaging since 2007. I guess it might be worth buying these sets if you want to turn a profit.

So is the SAE from West Point but the other dollars are Philly?

That is an interesting line-up there for sure.

One thing that helped the 2012 Set was not just the 28,368 OGP packaging number, but that all of the Uncirculated coins in the Set were Sold Out from other options by the time the Unc. $1 Set sold out itself. |
