I like ASEs because even though they cost a couple of dollars more, they tend to be easier to resell for spot or better. And if you get them graded, there is a chance that there will be numismatic appreciation also as long as you don't pay too much. Someday the US Mint will discontinue the ASE series, and immediately every coin in existence will gain at least some numismatic value because demand will continue but supply will be fixed. Also keep in mind that we might be pretty late in this bull market cycle, and a few years from now the price of ASEs could be in the mid $20 range.
