1996 American Silver Eagle 5 TROY OUNCE BUILLION COIN?

Seen this on ebay and was wondering if this is something that come from the US mint or some other place.
Has the US mint ever made a ASE larger then 1oz?

Thanks,

Anyway here is the one I seen.

Who makes these?

Thanks,

 

First of all the guy's an (expletive) for try to gouge that much 'jing'. Secondly, if you want a five ounce 'puck' you need to go no further than our own beloved mint...... http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wc...ctId=16560&langId=-1&parent_category_rn=48501

It's only a mild rape situation there.

Not a clue as to where that hunk of metal was produced, and you don't have any guarantee of purity or weight.

 

ASE's are my thing, not really interested in a five oz silver anything. Unless I can steal it for next to nothing, bullion price.
Over priced or not I was not planning on paying that for it. Heck I would not even consider paying the asking price for the 'puck' at the usmint site, lol...

I do need the education though and appreciate the information, thanks.

 

Says right on the bag "World Reserve Monetary Exchange". They're a private company kinda like The Morgan Mint, Franklin Mint, etc.

 

I've got an 8 oz with the state quarters embedded in the back from 2003. To my knowledge the mint has never produced larger than a 1 oz ASE. They do make interesting bullion pieces but not at that much over spot.

 

What's up with the edge on that thing? In the pics it looks clad.

 

Notice how it does not have a monetary value printed on it as a U.S. "coin" would. ASE's all have this.

This is a reproduction round produced by a private mint. If it's real, spot is what you would pay, in my opinion. But, there is no way to tell what it is made of, so I'd leave it alone since you can't view it in hand. It may be a hunk of aluminum for all we know.

 

privately minted round. those are pretty common. most, but not all have purity and weight stamped on the rim. Usually comes with a coa unless that got lost along the way. Id pay no more than spot.
