American Silver Eagle Coins Anyone Here Buying? ツ

No, I just unpacked one of my unopened boxes and found another 100 rounds. I also had 100 Morgan’s in the same box. I must have worked a lot of overtime when I bought them. The coins were less than $20 each and the rounds weren’t expensive either.

Once silver goes back down to $50 or less I will buy another ASE for my stash

 

It won't happen until April 1st, 2026.

 

Last time I bought any silver from the mint was 2020, except for a 2021 Silver Eagle for my type set...their prices I thought were too high. I have the Merconti coins except for 2 coins...the 2most expensive ones.

 

Well I was just charged $175 for the 2026 Congratulations Set which contains the ASE Philadelphia Proof.

 

I bought a couple of ASE proofs back when they were around $25 from the mint. In 2011 I bought 2 of the anniversary sets because I got an email from a coin shop I'd done business with saying they'd pay double the issue price for unopened sets. I had to resist the temptation to open the box, so I never saw them, I sent them the mint box just as it was. So I actually made money with ASEs, having nothing to do with the price of silver! I bought an "uncirculated finish" ASE in 2017, and that's it, haven't bought one since. Come to think of it, If I sold the ones I have, I could make money of those too. Not much though, might as well hang on to them.

 

I've been buying ASEs (AGEs etc) for a long, long time.
I'm not sure I want to pay $175 for a Proof. I may cancel. It's just an amount beyond what I think it's worth, or worth to me.

 

Bought a few ASE - 2021 burnished in OGP for less than ASE BU,
and a 2020 Canadian Red-Tailed Hawk 1/2 oz Silver Coin.
No idea if they are the burnished ones or not though.

 

Nothing against them in general, but not buying them for what they cost now.

 

yup, allergic to silver. Go figure.

Oh, and if you ever heard me sneeze, I joke that I'm just allergic to oxygen all the time.

 

I think I've only bought 5 in the last 7 months, so purchases way down from normal.
Two were from a coin show and a new, young just starting coin vendor.

 

I reached my limit of how much silver I wanted to have put away.
My last purchase was years ago.
