2006 Reverse Proof ASE

The 2006 Reverse Proof ASE is a stunning coin. So different from looking at a regular proof. I got mine early on, in an NGC MS/PF 69 Multiholder 2006 Anniversary Set. I don't plan to break the set so I had no reason to get the separate holders.

One way to look at it (as I did with several of the coins I have purchased), would you have an easier time justifying $300?

Back in '02 or '03 I finally threw the money at me dealer for a BU set of ASE's in a Dansco. I told him I might as well do it now because I figure it's just gonna keep get more expensive. I paid about $170 for the set and have added to it each year as they are released. Look at the price of a set now!

I see them out there now and again. True enough, it turns out that the RP is the bulk of the price, so why not get the full set? Mine came with the orignal packaging as well, since that's the only way you can get the set certified as a 20th Anniversary Set, whether individually or in the multiholder. It had to be sent to NGC in the sealed Mint box, which NGC then opens and cracks the individual coins. That's the only way they can guarantee that all the coins came from the Anniversary set.

"Some people" would get just the RP, and add a regular 2006 Proof and regular 2006 Burnished and call it a 20th Anniversary Set. The TPG's were wise to that so they required the sealed Mint packaging.

Good Luck,
