I was looking for some small gold and I came across this 2010 W ASE at a local cash for gold place. Only paid $31 for it and its a BU proof. Also bought my first AGE, its only a 1/10 oz, but I have been wanting one for a while now.
I go there because they sell gold coins for only 5% over melt regardless of denomination, however they sell so face I can never get one there, but they always have ASG's and this was in the generic bin in an air-tite already. They sell any ASE or ML for $3 over spot there and generics for $2 over spot.
Probably because they got them way under melt from collectors who found themselves in dire financial circumstances. We've got a few pawn shops like that around here - where almost everything goes for melt because they're making a profit anyway.
wish there was a place around here like that, nice score. Im guessing it was a gift that someone didnt want
