What do you all think?
Do you think it will happen? Heck no....but still a good thought.
Comments  | It is inevitable that the ASE series will end. The only thing in doubt is the year. But it seems unlikely that they would end it with record sales going on unless the industrial users of silver complained about the Mint purchases driving up costs. I don't think this has happened yet.

What's the name of these coins? They're beautiful.

I do love the ASE coins, they really are sharp looking! But with a skipped year, it does make sense to change it. What might be kind of a cool thing, is to get a new obverse, and switch the reverse to the Walking Liberty half reverse. I dunno, just thinking out loud.
Maybe the new Obverse could be a great view of the statue of Liberty.......Nah, just keep it the same. It really is perplexing because it really stinks that they won't make them this year.....

My thoughts are the mint will keep the ASE as is. Just like the Kennedy half, Roosevelt dime, and the 1 oz AGE. It is cheaper to carry on the same design year after year and not have to make dies with diferrent designs. Just the price changes and always goes up. It also shows stability in the particular coin. That is something our country really needs right now.

Skipping one year should not be a determiner of whether or not a coin series continues. After all, they did skip a few years with the Peace Dollar series, with no changes to the design. I, frankly, would like to see the present design continued....

I agree with Illini420.. would love something like those Mexican fractionals. I actually am thinking about picking up one at the next coin show.

Comments  | Okay, I'll drop it, but not before I sent 22 emails and snail mails letters to Senators, the Mint Director, and a few other influental people. They could still do it if they really wanted. Okay. I'm done. |
