People pay more than melt for ASE's? I guess I'm a stacker more than a collector.

It is a nice looking coin.

Yeah saw it AFTER my cash was gone. but thats the first time ive personally seen it... not like you can choose to do that. you gotta wait until comeone contacts you. cool for sure, wish i could but not like hitting up some readily accessible spot for ASEs under spot.

Looks like a thumb print on the right side of the toning?

I bought 18 ASEs below spot and 6 graded ASEs slightly over spot last week, i'm a extremely happy camper.

Now I've just got to send em off to NGC , one of the sets ('86-'94) is in absolutely flawless condition.

Where ever I can find them! I have a local shop that refines just about everything. He ships twice a week, I hit his shop in the morning just before his shipments are finalized. He's more than happy to sell near melt rather than lose some profit to the refiner.

My local coin shop sells problem ASES (nicked up or mishandled) at spot.

Looks like someone poured toilet bowl cleaner on it.

Personally, I don't like it. I also don't think my sister is pretty ( certainly not pretty enough to marry)

Side note: How many more WV comments can I make?

I love it! Reminds me to poke beauanderos in the eye, it's been a while.
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.
