Are the ASE and commemorative planchets the same? __________________ If You Can't Fight Or Flee, Flow   03-24-2009, 09:34 PM   #2 (permalink) Conder101 Numismatist   Join Date: Sep 2002 Posts: 5,097 No they are not the same. They are not making the Proof ASE because they are using the planchets for the bullion ASE, not the Commems. __________________ Slab collector and researcher reported as of 12/29/06 132 companies 332 production varieties   03-26-2009, 10:30 PM   #3 (permalink) MoneyHungry Member   Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Milwaukee, Wisconsin Posts: 65 My Mood: Thanks for the heads up.
