I believe this was another common release that the Mint didn't have an image of. I was just perusing the Mint website, because you never know what you'll find these days (lately watching the images to show up for the laser beam/ laser engraved ASE). One oddity is the lack of an image for the S proof ASE, why wouldn't they show that? Also, as noted in another post, why there's no OGP shown for the Army privy? I don't expect much, not like a wooden box or anything (thinking how cool it would be for a box that replicates an old wooden Army footlocker! At least a clamshell that's green or better yet, olive drab!). I guess the Mint has to be a little more practical. But for the price you pay, you'd think they could think outside the box a little more. Or at least think ABOUT the box. Subtle changes like this would have a big impact on the collecting community. Back to the subject at hand, it looks like no changes from last year. I guess the change in the Congrats set made me think possibly the made a revamp in this annual set also. It would be another scenario where the ASE could be swapped around from another set, then I start thinking I should buy another set to keep sealed in the mint shipper. But not at $255! The Congrats set I do have 2 subs for this reason, starting this year, anyways. The LESPS, no way! One set for the collection.  Edited by Gilly

I wish that 1) I was more into the ASE and 2) this set had a lower price. I would solve the duplication issue from buying the standard clad and silver proof sets. |

Like the 2011 " burnished " San Francisco Minted American Silver Eagle 25TH Anniversary 5- Coin Sets.....  Maybe included in The Special ASE 40th Anniversary 6-Coin sets....... Making a collection of ASE's Should be as Diverse as possible IMO, Not mundane, Stale and Duplicative.. I Want Options, We Deserve Choices that Reflect Outstanding examples, .... ( I feel better Now, :) ). Edited by Morgans Dad

What is so "Limited Edition" about this set? Is it the cardboard display case? Can these coins be bought individually in another way? I keep hearing buy the coin, not the holder !  Edited by CoinForMe

Can these coins be bought individually in another way? Correct. And buying the ASE and the annual silver proof set is ten dollars cheaper. LESP is $255. Silver proof set ($150) and ASE ($95) = $245. |

Yup.  Makes it even more expensive than duplicating the non-silver coins from by both annual sets to fill album holes. |

When the 1995 West Point American Silver Eagles Proof Set came out the Die Hard ASE collector's had to have the Only way to receive that 1995 - W Proof, This is the Kind of ideas that Lead to collectibles, IF one can obtain them. Jbuck stated Quote: " In a proof set though? " Exactly, Minting the Out of the Norm in a Well established Series, Leads to Desirable, Very Unique, Must have examples..... Thinking outside that Box, Is where they Want to be....!!!!  |
