2008 Bald Eagle Commemorative Proof Set

2008 brought a new commemorative group from the U.S. Mint, the Bald Eagle Commemorative, which was minted in a $5 gold coin, a Silver one dollar coin and a clad half dollar, all of which were offered in both proof and uncirculated condition.

Additionally, there was a three coin proof set offered which was limited to just 25,000 sets. Unfortunately, these have been sold out at the Mint, so if you are looking for a set, you'll have to check the secondary market. Non-certified sets are going for between $450 and $500 on Ebay. Certified MS70 sets are bringing anywhere from $550 to $700+. It seems like it will only get more expensive, so if you want a set, now is the time to get it.
