I really like the ASE program. I do collect them along with other series; however, I wish they would stop with the Anniversary sets. Too much of a good thing, if you know what I mean. It cheapens the previous sets by having too many.

I think our current circulating coinage is "tired". The "bust designs" have run their course. Instead of bringing back old iconic/classic designs, I wish they would focus on new designs. I for one don't want to see designs regurgitated in modern commem form either. I'm probably in the minority here, but a Mercury dime is cool because it's unlike any other obverse design. Keep it that way, IMHO.

The WLH is already being used on the ASE and it's working, the Buff on gold and it's working, but please stop here. I believe the collecting market will get tired of it.

New, fresh, artistic designs is what is needed, not re-treads.

 

They should just do an anniversary year every year.

 

total americn eagle silver dollar sold as of today is 424,384,410. by the time we celebrate 30th anniversary. american eagle silver dollar coin total sales could pass 500,000,000 easily. gold eagle series sold 23,607,615 pc. total gold and silver eagle sold 447,992,025.

p.s. total american buffalo gold series sold 2,406,654 pc. while 2001 american buffalo silver commemorative sold 499,969 pc. total 2,906,623 pc.

well guys. you figure out yourself how much total sales in term of monetary.

 

why not bring back the reverse design of walking liberty to the american eagle silver coin series starting 2017. this will bring more sales for the u.s. mint.

 

Elaine?

 

I'd really like to see a high relief double thick 2 oz. (piedfort) silver eagle in an anniversary set. Just think that would be pretty neat.

Or maybe they'll do one in .9999 gold like they did with the Kennedy Half this year Of course, the coin would need to have around 1.6 oz. of gold if made the same size and thickness as a silver eagle and would make the anniversary set very expensive... might keep the mintages low though

 

why on earth pay so much money for a single ounce of silver? no numismatic value, not rare, and yet.... they "put lipstick on a pig, and call it something other than a pig?" It IS a beautiful coin, but to get so emotional about them is something other than "sound investing"... I say, get and keep ONE to look at, but don't invest...

 

Fact is, collector-consumers are trained sheep (pigs in sheep's clothing, perhaps) and thus, If they mint it, they will baa-baa-buy!

 

lol, krispy, that is realllll funny..... Pour an ounce of silver, call it a "proof", put a fancy box and a REAL cert with it, maybe even pay a guy named PCGS to put it into it's own little home...a slab. Now...hmmmm, what shall we do to make more money? I know, lets talk to that cute blonde on that home shop network, you know...the one with the HUGE...uh..."shoulders"? Let her doll it up, and sell that $17 ounce with the new PCGS $30 badge for.....uh....well she DOES have GREAT shoulders....how about $199??!!!??? Where do I get me one huh?

 

Oh geez! Now TV coin shows is a whole other baa-all of wax! LOL! Don't get me started. They succeed because intelligence is in short supply. Funny how demand to obtain intelligence isn't as high as the rush to dump ones hard earned funds into PMs.

 

Why do you care what other people collect?

Those that bought one of each MS and Proof from the start of the program are probably just fine, if you average it out. If they got the 95W from the mint, they are doing really well as far as an investment. I gave up on the program last year. It was a fun ride but the prices gave me a good reason to stop the collection.

 

Well said. I just wonder why people in this hobby like to berate others. No worries. Carrry on.

 

Making light is not berating. It's offensive though to see virtual looting of people by TV hucksters and over ambitious direct marketing. I don't like to see people taken advantage if though many also allow themselves to be.

 

I agree with your position on the hucksters. I've made light of them myself on this site. Before I became a serious collector, I was taken advantage of by some mail order businesses. Thankfully, I realized quite early that I was paying big premiums for the coins I bought and canceled the subscription. It lead me to become educated on the hobby as I didn't really know jack before that. So there was some good that came of it for me. I'm not suggesting it's a good thing at all, just choosing to look at the positives.

I was drinking my first cup of coffee when I read, then commented on your earlier posts. At the time, it just struck me differently, so I replied. I think we're on the same page.

 

Here are a few picture's of my new ASE proof's purchases

 

I'm still trying to figure out what a "Matt Proof" would be?

 

When you find out please let us all know !
