The 'ES' closeup is the best indicator photo to me.

If I were interested at all in the very concept of a coin that is different because of its label rather then the coin itself, which I am not, I would maybe be paying about a 10% premium, if that. I collect silver eagles, but I have only had one encapsulated, and that was the 1995-W proof. I have two others that were gifts from someone else, and one that was an American Numismatic Association bonus for signing up for a 3-year platinum membership.
 
Slabbed ASE's are, to me, "sucker bait".

If next year’s winter FUN doesn’t happen, I’m going to be one pi$$ed pup. I’m ready to venture out now; the panic pornographers can bite me.

That's exactly how it is and if you do not return the label from the crossed over coin - they will not update their census even though you send electronic proof of the cross over and a copy of the certificate.  And you wonder why the census/population reports are overstated.

There is also a huge difference because if you crack the 1893S out of the slab, that's what you still have.  A 1893S morgan.  However, if you crack the 2012w eagle form the LE set out of the slab, it is literally no different than any of the other 2012 proofs.  Also, the 50,129 is not the mintage for the 2012W proof..  It is the number of limited edition sets they sold.  The actual total mintage for the 2012w proof is 877,731.  

The "crack out" game is so ubiquitous that any hope of "encapsulated coin represents a population the sanctity of which must be honored if it is to have any meaning at all for a hobby" is a ship long since sailed. There is exactly ZERO sanctity of any population report of any slabbed coins. The number of truly unique coins slabbed is a small fraction of the number of slabbings, except perhaps for low value moderns. People are not returning crack out labels for deletion from the populations. I've walked many an ANA coin show watching dealers who have just purchased slabbed coins from a collector proceed to place the slabs on a chair leg and literally stomp on the slabs with a boot heel to break them open in order to resubmit them. Just a normal buy/sell spread is not enough for many dealers; they want the "upgrade plus buy/sell" margin. In other words, if they look at a coin and they don't think they can win the "crack out" game, they'll never buy the coin in the first place.

I am the high risk demographic. I’m 65, have high blood pressure and Type 2 diabetes, have neurological deficits, and I’m blood type A+, and I still can‘t wait to get out there. I’m considering going “full gonzo” in being a shutdown skeptic militant. 

Not the one posted by the OP. It says "Proof".

Never chalk up to reason what can be explained by a deep dark conspiracy, I always say. 

Meh, I've been called worse.

Blasphemer! The VAMmers are lying in wait for you. 

I always hesitate to give storage advice, because my advice is very different depending on the coin. AirTites are fine for Morgans. I use a lot of E&T Kointain brand Saflips. But I leave mine alone and don’t handle them. The Saflips can crack and expose edges that can scratch your coins if you mess with them too much.

What a shame. You could make a lot of money re-examining MS69's for 69+ and 70- designations. KIDDING!!! Please don't. But in all seriousness, do you not see that this is what happens when you make "registry fever" a thing?

I think I may be offended that you're not offended. That's the way it goes in 2020.

Okay, I confess, it's me. I caused it. I'm the guy. I have too many coins. It's 1964 all over again. I feel so dirty now. 

Add up the denominations and average the dates. The very rare and very dangerous 1975 and two thirds 36 cent piece. Woo Hoo! And hey! The average coin in that picture is a 12 cent piece.

Take some video of it and slap it up onto YouRube.

If I have dissuaded the likes of you from engaging in what you call numismatics, then I have done this hobby a great service. 
 
Were you a complete greenhorn, you would be due more forbearance, but you have been slapping this garbage up for almost a year now and refuse to learn.

Don't get tied up with getting bullion coins in slabs with label designations. It won't end well for you. It's "fake numismatics".
How will YOU be listed on the 2020 census forms?

The only error I see is mis-placement of the entry wound.  Lincoln was shot, while seated, from behind.
