<p>[QUOTE=&quot;airedale, post: 179451, member: 4695&quot;]Not sure how many there are but someday they should stand as a collectible on their own considering the story that accompanies them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Speaking of 1st Strikes! A year or so ago I bought a couple of rolls of 2005 ASE&#039;s on eBay with the following story. </p><p>The seller said the very first 2005&#039;s were wider and hence heavier than the subsequent ones made after the error was discovered. He included a mint receipt that said these were made in October 2004. He said the roll actually weighed close to 21 ounces. He also mentioned how tight they were inside of the roll due to their width so I have not attempted to remove them. Since I do not know the tare on a mint roll encasement I have not even weighed them. Now that I look in retrospect I guess it would not make any difference how wide the die is as the weight comes from the planchet. Now that I think about it even more 20 ounces of silver should weigh more on a scale due to it being a precious metal. Any feedback on this? I think silver was around $10. then so I do not feel bad as I paid no premium over what an ASE would cost.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
