319/365 25th Anniversary Silver Eagle Set

This offering by the U.S. Mint was a real fiasco.  Took me over an hour and 15 minutes to get 2 sets ordered online (1 for myself and the other as a gift to my Brother).  Just do a quick search and you should find some great stories.  These sets are now selling on eBay for 2 and a half to 3 times original cost ($299.95 ea).  Unbelievable.

The 25th Anniversary Silver Eagle Set will contain the following coins:

    2011 Proof Silver Eagle (W mint mark)
    2011 Uncirculated Silver Eagle (W mint mark)
    2011 Uncirculated Silver Eagle (S mint mark)
    2011 Reverse Proof Silver Eagle (P mint mark)
    2011 Silver Eagle bullion coin (no mint mark, but struck at the San Francisco Mint)

The five coins are packaged in a “custom-design, highly polished, lacquered hardwood presentation case.” Each set is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

The 25th Anniversary Set will include two very significant coins in the American Silver Eagle series. These are the 2011-P Reverse Proof Silver Eagle and the 2011-S Uncirculated Silver Eagle. Provided these coins are not offered in any other format, they would have a maximum mintage of 100,000 pieces. These two coins would become the second lowest mintage Silver Eagles across all years and formats, after the rare 1995-W Proof Silver Eagle, which has a mintage of 30,125.
