There is NO way you can call 1995 the 10th anniversary in any logical sense, in terms of actually producing the ASE. This was never the logic in any subsequent anniversary sets or the lettered edge releases. I'll have to reread my 10th Anniversary coa. The only possible explanation is 1985 is the year the legislation was signed into law for the American Liberty Coin act and they wanted something to celebrate that. Edited by Gilly

Gilly, Agreed. It always made no sense.  Either way, The 1995-W 5-coin set is Smash Hit of precious metals, 30,102.    Great topic for Thoughts.....  |

It is one of the few modern coins whose numismatic value outweighs its intrinsic metal value (for now  ). |

Here's the entirety of the COA from my set. Juicier bits highlighted. The back is where I feel their mathing went wrong   |

Thanks all for your replies, I am guessing that it can be interpeted that 1985 could be cosidered as the conception of American Eagle and 1986 as the birth.

Someone is trying to get that much for it. Someone is crazy. I saw it. It's the box that many people received their 10th Anniversary sets in, because the Mint ran out of the boxes they were supposed to get, so they sent the "real" boxes later. Then someone sold the 1995W out of it. So right now, it's worth something over spot. 1.85 of 22k is a little over $9200 at this time. So they somehow think this is worth a $5000 premium? You can just go buy a regular 4 coin gold set (not missing anything) for around $10k. |

you need to look at the 'Sold' listings on ebay to see what they actually go for. |
