<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bg35765, post: 1733924, member: 42710&quot;]I have seen posts in this thread that 281,000 is a high number and that the number of ASE collectors is in the lower 200,000 range based on previous sales.</p><p><br /></p><p>I almost agreed with that, but looking at mintage charts the regular proof silver eagles regularly sell in the 500,000 - 1,000,000 range.&nbsp; Looking at the past few years the regular proof silver eagle has sold 258,000 to 367,000 in the first week alone.</p><p><br /></p><p>What is the explanation for this?&nbsp; Are there that many proof ASE collectors that are not interested in the special sets?&nbsp; Are many of them birthday/Christmas gifts to non-collectors or something?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m just trying to understand the mind of the ASE collector so I don&#039;t get burned buying extra sets that I won&#039;t be able to sell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
