I've Had Two 1995-W's That I Bought Ten Years Ago And Had NO IDEA What They Were Worth

First off, I am not a coin collector. At least, not on purpose.

I purchased two 10th Anniversary Five Coin Gold American Eagle sets ten
years ago for my two kids. It killed me to pay $1,000 each for these
but I did anyway. I stuck these in my safe deposit box and forgot
about them. Over the years I figured they had gone up a couple of
hundred dollars based on gold prices.

I had absolutely NO idea about these 1995-W Silver Eagles until earlier
tonight when I was trying to find out a current value for these sets.
Imagine my surprise when I read what I had! I told my wife "you're not
going to believe this...."

I also have mint rolls of 1994, 1995 and 1996 Silver Eagles as well as
two 1994 Gold Eagles. What are these worth?

Almost makes me wish I had more kids ten years ago so I would have
bought more sets

Probably a good time to sell the 1996 eagles. They'll do $45-50 apiece
on ebay. I found a mint roll that went for $1200:

Bland,

I'm sure you've gone on ebay and have seen the prices for them there.

Wholesale is around $5000-5800. Retail, well $6000-6900 depending on who's
looking to buy.

Great investment of just a $1000.00.

Are you looking to sale?

Not my coins! I'll be lucky to get the 20th Anniversary set that the
Mint says they shipped

I see where some people have these graded. Is that worthwhile? What
does that cost?

Two days ago I would have guessed those two Silver Eagles were worth
about $20 each. Boy was I wrong!
