I also forsee the potential of the US bullion coin programs hidden value as well. A lot of people think slabbed MS bullion ASEs or slabbed Gold Eagles, Commems, etc. are a waste. I don't because I don't look at them for slab value and grades with premiums, but in time and esp. if these coin programs are stopped, changed or bullion becomes unavailable, I think the hidden numismatic value will blossom overnight.

I agree completely. Many people can't seem to make the mental jump from what is to what could or will be. Bags of junk silver will always be junk, but ASEs have a hidden numismatic potential that is difficult to comprehend because it currently doesn't exist. There will be a rush to buy them when they are discontinued, and the nicest specimens will command a premium to the dinged up bullion.
