<p>[QUOTE="RickieB, post: 117940, member: 2486"]Hello Mark...</p><p> That is GREAT!!! The ASE are a beautiful coin...that is exactly what got me into collecting the AGE series. The 1996 ASE uncirculated is the most difficult..the mintages were the lowest thus far but the real problem with that coin is the spotting associated with them. Finding examples without the spots is harder. I am pertty sure it has to do with the rinsing of the dies with water..(someone correct me if I am wrong please) I have 5 or 6 examples of this coin w/o spotting and I plan on sending them to PCGS before they do spot. The spoting is just unappealing and does little to deface the metal. Good luck on the 1/10 th ounce AGE..start with the 1988 first then the 1991 then the 1994.....Good Luck!!</p><p><br /></p><p>RickieB[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
