Message:: [QUOTE="danmar2, post: 2597859, member: 74204"]That happens often. Many have paid more for their ASE's and are probably trying to recoup some of their money. Many of the issues I will pay a $2 premium for and not much more. The 94 to 98 issues will command a little more and probably a few of the earlier issues like the 86 since it was the first. The 96 commands a premium because many (about half I hear) of them developed white spots after they had been sold making the ones without spots more valuable to collectors. The 'Burnished' eagles are distinctly different from the bullion versions and if you put them side by side a collector could easily see the difference. The 'color' 'luster' or 'sheen' is different and the details of the coin are much more visible. These coins are handled one at a time and with gloved hands, like the proof versions. If you put two uncirculated 2006 ASE's face up side by side one bullion and one burnished, I would not have a problem distinguishing which is which.[/QUOTE]
