Is it worth paying anything over melt for? I kinda like it, it is an older date too, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=380037909000&ssPageName=STRK:MEBI:IT&ih=025 stainless
Define "worth paying". Is it going to sell for over melt - YES. Is it going to be a valuable coin in the future - PROBABLY NOT. Is is its silver going to be worth more in the future - PROBABLY
I wouldn't buy them. The market for "Ground Zero Recovery American Silver Eagles" is probably limited to mostly people curious about 9/11 instead of serious coin collectors. Each to his own.
Hey wait a minute. I'm still reading your "I am now broke" thread. Did you just win the lotto? Or borrowing on your allowance? Just start a summer job? As far as this ASE it's going to sell for probably more money than your AT coin which left you broke. And it's really just bullion. Hyped up bullion to be exact. How's that going to help complete the Franklin set anyway? None of my business but do you have a focus? I'd like to buy almost every coin in the world too.
I made $80 selling 3 proof frankies and an extra MS frankie I am trying to buy a nice coin, but yet not regret buying it later.. frankies are on hold for now, need to find a distraction for my boredom stainless.
I have one coming in.....but I am trying to find books about them...which Ive gad no success....and other than ebay...I cant find any of those (vcoins are overpriced for these) stainless
Well that's cool. And an honest answer. I have been looking at the 2006W ASE [the first burnished] with the low mintage. For your 80 bucks or less you could pick up one of those. And it would probably hold value too. As for me, I have a handful of ASE one ouncers in a safe deposit box. But the last one I bought was a few years ago when they went for $14 and $15. Can't quite justify spending the $20 or $22 they want now for the same hunk of common silver.
There was a post on this a while back, someone posted a link to a website where you could buy these. A lot of negative emotion was generated by these coins. The towers that fell that day are only a 2.5 hour drive from me, being military we were sent there right away, and then to offaway foreign lands shortly thereafter. NYC took years to recoup from the devastation that day. I say these coins should be given to the families of people who lost loved ones that tragic day.
Yeah. I like coins with a lot of history attached to them. These coins as part of a history that I lived through will have more of a deeper meaning. I figure the coin in the end will sell for around $80
