I am going to a coin show this weekend, and I am looking at getting a 2013 West Point ASE set. I was wondering how much I should spend to get a set like this. I would like to know soon as the show is this weekend. |

You can get the raw ones on ebay for around 150. The graded 69s are selling for basically the same price. |

What about for just the enhanced one? How much of a premium does a slabbed SP-70 have over an SP-69?

They originally went for $139.95 + shipping. Coin shows are made up of smaller dealers, there is going to be no dealer there who is going to take a loss or a marginal profit after less than a year. ebay prices have very little to with professional and local coin dealers, so don't go there comparing prices to $bay, you will be very disappointed. I would be prepared to pay no less than $160, maybe even %170-$180. Although I would not pay $180. The advantage you are going to have, is that you can examine it in hand examine the coins and capsules for mars and scratches. Plus instant gratification. I paid $170 for my set last fall at a local show and was happy to do it. I looked at a couple of sets, and bought this one. No $bay, no dealing with $ay$al, no wondering if I am going to get ripped off/what I am going to get. The coins I bought " I think ' have a good chance at MS70. |

He's right, 170 to 180 is what they are asking. I'd look for someone in peril and offer 150. Can't hurt.

The PCGS 70 sets have been selling anywhere from 230-300 for the most part with the majority being in the 250-280 range. The labels with the signature are the ones usually getting closest to 300 or over. Most of the NGC ones are selling in the 200-280 range with most being in the 220-250 area. Individual coins sales are all over the map with some basically getting up to the price of the set raw. Its not a hard to find set though so unless you really only want one and not the other I would just get the set whether graded or raw. Quote:

There is a small premium you could attach to picking out the one you want, but anything over 170 max for a raw one I wouldnt even look at it twice. West point didnt drop the ball on these like SF did, finding high quality sets is the norm and very easy to do |

70's outnumber 69's by more than 3:1 for this one; by strict rarity, the 69's ought to be worth more than the 70's. Almost a quarter of the total mintage is now in PCGS/NGC pops at 70. |
