It's one of the lower prices I've seen lately. You can get this from about a gazillion advertisers in Coin World. The most recent issue has these coins around $415. Some add the Dansco album, which retails around $20.

I'm always tempted by these because I love the Walker design, and, like many, I'm a total sucker for perfect coins [:p](although I'd stay away from "first strike" and "PF70" coins that PCGS and NGC are peddling to the new and naive - I'd guess 99% are PF70 in reality, and the "first strike" attribution is pure snake oil). But if I were going to collect American Eagles, I'd rather have proofs in original govt boxes, which are also available from many Coin World advertisers. A full set of those at around $1,500 - $1,600 would have excellent potential purely for long-term investment. I'd only keep one or two out to look at since they're all so tediously the same.
