Have I tuned into a deal or just being silly? I've picked up a handful of ASE's at spot and one under spot. They are the painted commemoratives, like with the Twin Towers on them. One even came in a fancy box that was covered in cat fur. One was beat up, like it had spent a little time sitting in the street. Another had been gouged with a screwdriver, like somebody was tying to get the paint off quite violently.

Are these all over the place and i just stumbled on to them, or am I a keen buyer? My LCS charges 4.50 over spot, everybody else rounds up to $40 for a shiny ASE.

Those are not ASEs ... (hint .. google "American Silver Eagles"), they are commemorative dollars or generics.

To me, being a "keen buyer" is overrated. Do you like what you got? Are YOU happy with the price? That's all that matters!

can we see some pics?
that would help to know what you've purchased.

they are ase's, painted with the twin towers on 2001's. i have some that were bought at spot also, there is also one with a firefighter commemorative

They can be found you just have to wait. I have a guy that sales to me at Melt, does not matter to him what it is. So I have gotten ASE's Morgans, or just slick dimes, Just the luck of the draw.

They are definitely ASE's, I can see the coin under the paint. I was just wondering if anybody else is picking up these ugly little orphans. Who knows, by the time I get around to selling, they might be a such an oddity that they command a premium. And yes, I'm happy with the price!

They are ASEs. I have bought several of these over the months. If you do not like the paint, having them dipped for a while in acetone helps. Rinse it and pat it dry. Or leave it just as it is. But do not expect to get a premium like the ASE commands.
