For me, collecting ASEs and other bullion coins today is much like people collecting Morgan and Peace dollars when they were issued. I don't have much interest in bags of junk silver. ASEs cost a bit more, but have a hidden numismatic potential. Someday the US Mint will stop making ASEs, and almost immediately the series will begin to develop [possibly significant] numismatic value because the supply will be fixed but demand will continue. It wouldn't surprise me if common uncirculated ASEs sold for $10 or more over spot a year after they are discontinued.
