But the huge majority of ASE business strikes (like 95% or more) are thought of as nothing more than chunks of silver bullion by the dealers who sell them. So no care is taken when the coins are handled by them. I&#039;ve seen dumped out of tubes into buckets at dealer shops. So it is not at all unusual for a lot of them to get bag marks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
