[QUOTE="westcoasting, post: 1732408, member: 46847"]If they're 2013 ASE, I would think they just pull tubes straight from a monster box. You can probably call their customer service to get clarification. I got my 2013 from Apmex and have no doubts they are the real thing. As far as fake ASE, I did see one in a youtube clip. The ground where Lady Liberty walks should have some texture. The fake didn't (totally smooth) The sun rays should taper. The fake sun rays remained wide. I think difference in detail with the stars above Liberty's arm. The dimensions and/or weight may have been off spec. Of course, things may have changed since then. You can get a 100 gram pocket digital scale and digital calipers pretty cheaply to measure and weigh your coins. Also, if you have strong neodymium magnets, there's the magnet test. And, ASE ring test. ASE ring nicely! There might also be local companies who will use say XRF technology to take a reading of the metal content of your coins. This would cost bucks to have done though and I think only works to certain thickness. Personally, I think you'll be ok.[/QUOTE]
