I would’nt worry about cancellation as for those that are cancel there will be an outlet as there will probaly be no melting too much time to prepare these sets.Common sense should tell you they may even open the selling of the cancel sets.I cancel 2 order of 7 sets when I seen they had orders over the 2006 sets now I,m sorry I did as they will go up in value.Now I will probaly have to buy a set on line as I’ll still need a set as I orginally purchased the 1995 gold set with the free 1995 silver eagles,yes the silver eagle was given free for collector that didn’t know.Back then 995.00 was a lot of money just to get the silver eagle,then they melted the silver eagles that wasn’t ordered with the gold set.A lot of silver proof collectors were very disappointed as they wanted to purchase the left over 1995 proofs.

Is anyone hearing anything about a final mintage one these or when the mintages might be announced? I’m sure a lot of orders are being cancelled with the aftermarket pricing tanking?

No, the 10th Ann Platinum American Eagle set had to be sent in unopened to get the anniversary label due to the 1 oz plat eagles also sold separately.

I agree that the labels and packaging should not matter, but they do seem to matter to a lot of collectors. I like the no mint packaging option, so would a lot of others!

Some of the nicer mint boxes with the magnetic inserts (like the 2 coin ASE set) display graded coins well but most of the Mints packaging is not wanted, needed or Green.

You meant 20th Anniversary set, right?

Well OK, if I ever send in something to be graded I’ll try to remember to keep it’s original materials just in case I ever decide to sell it.

Got my set yesterday. Very nice set. I really can’t complain as I didn’t figure they would go up like the 5 coin Annversery set which I was lucky enough to get. We will see.

I keep my raw coins in original packaging. There is a market for original packaging. You would have to sell a truck load to make any money.

BonnieBGood –
RonnyBGood –
Yes, very helpful. Thanks.
To me the special pedigree doesn’t mean anything. A 2012 proof SAE is a 2012 proof SAE regardless of which set it was sold in. And once graded and repackaged by a grading company the original packaging is useless since the coins won’t fit anymore. So what did you do with your 10th platinum box?

An idea for the mint – offer the coins with packaging or without packaging (and at a discount) so that landfills won’t be cluttered by useless mint packaging materials.
Another idea for the mint – automatically submit (unpackaged) coins to the grading company of choice for those who would send their coins in for grading anyway. Additional cost here obviously but now you’re getting some real service from the mint.
Another idea for the mint – offer coins with packaging designed to hold either a mint coin capsule or a graded coin capsule.
I don’t know, I keep all my coins in their original packaging. What do you do with your graded coins?

Jim & others, You can open this set!
Submission Instructions (from NGC):

Remove the coins from the US Mint packaging and submit them raw in the capsules. Do not send the Mint packaging.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: To receive the SAN FRANCISCO EAGLE SET pedigree, the Proof and Reverse Proof 2012-S Silver Eagles must be received in equal numbers on the same submission form. If the Proof 2012-S Silver Eagles are submitted without an equal or higher number of Reverse Proof 2012-S Silver Eagles, they will NOT be eligible for the special pedigree. All Reverse Proof 2012-S Silver Eagles will receive the pedigree by default.

Hope this is helpful!

Yes, Proof on the 95w. Great discussion guys.

I agree the packaging is nice on this set. I got mine on Wed. You would be suprised at how many people get rid of the packaging over time. It is the coin that has the value. Graders will not typically send packaging back to you unless you specifically ask for it. On my 10th ann platimum set it took 3 months for them send it back. They missed the request on my paperwork.

Enjoy this nice set!
