2013 American Eagle West Point Two-Coin Silver Set posted by 00001AAA Coins

[CSJournals-migration]

Total Sets Reported Sold - About 281,310

 

As predicted the U.S. Mint sold a vast number of 2013 American Eagle West Point Two-Coin Silver Sets. The grand total is around 281,310 or so. I would assume all these coins will be in 69 or 70 condition as the U.S. Mint is getting rather good at making perfect or nearly perfect coins. This makes collecting modern coins a bit less interesting.

 

Will I buy this set? Sure - but I'll wait a year or two and let the prices settle to a more normal level. With this many coins on the market you can expect to see the prices rise during the first month or two as collectors snatch up the NGC or PCGS graded coins in 70 condition. After a year or two the shine will have faded and prices will settle. In the end these are simply never going to be rare coins. There are far to many coins available and none will ever be circulated. They will all remain in perfect or near perfect condition.

 

While I like some modern U.S. coins I've decided to take a more realistic few of them. Buy the ones you like, buy them cheap and don't expect the value to jump.

Why did you not buy them from the Mint? Are you waiting for the graded coins to come out? Coin delers are already selling graded coins now.
