Been holding the sealed box with the thought of sending them for grading. Not sure if the added cost is worth it. If I pass them on at some point, would they appreciate them more or less? I am leaning towards just keeping them how they came from the mint.

They should have kept the two coin limit for at least 48hrs that way more REAL collectors would have a chance to have a nice family heirloom!!! ???

yeah i ended up paying $109 for a NGC first release ungraded, seeing i did not come close when the congratulation 2017 s ASE came out. Could have for the same price get a 69 PCGS first stike, or a NGC 69 early release for $119 from MCM, all my eagles are NGC needed this one to stay current, except for the 1995 w proof & i don’t sea that happening i was out to lunch that day. I did not want to pay for a 70 which i would love to have so i got out as cheap as possible with the NGC ungraded. That pretty close to what i would have payed between the mint & NGC with ship,in & all + it was less work.

I stand corrected. I was looking at the 2016 set. The 2017 is in fact, no longer available.

I like US MINT new strategy for selling limited quality coins! Set up 24-36 hours for limited 2 per household. This way real collectors will able to buy it . You do the right job

With spot silver at around $16.90 at release, and the grading companies making all sorts of financial demands to obtain a graded coin, It will take a very long time to recover your “investment” in this set. Very hard to justify spending $145 with the Mint plus the grading company fees and shipping costs. Much smarter to just go on eBay and get an already graded 2107-S proof, and get the silver quarter proof set for $32.
