<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 1026322, member: 3011"]Yes, ASEs are an excellent buy. Someday the US mint will discontinue the series, and every ASE will immediately begin to accrue at least some numismatic premium because the supply will be fixed and demand will continue to rise. As you can tell from this thread, many people do not consider ASEs to be best. This works to the advantage of the ASE buyer. If you want to be smart about it, only purchase coins in excellent condition from some of the lower mintage years. I've seen people abuse ASEs because they believe they are "only bullion," and someday the MS69 coins have an excellent chance of commanding a significant premium. Now, 2009 and 2010 mintages are so large that those coins may not go up much in price, but some of the earlier years sell for the same price, and should be preferred. Remember, it is the coin that receives no respect that becomes the sought after collectible of the future. There are no guarantees, but for me, the small premium on ASEs is worth the potential numismatic value in the future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
