<p>[QUOTE="Inspector43, post: 4120081, member: 89213"]Well, there you go, another way for the TPG's to make money. The ASE Bullion was never intended to be anything other than bullion. It was never intended to be graded and slabbed. Some people now will want to capture marking on boxes in an effort to "certify" the mint. In 2011 the US Mint put some information out regarding the bullion piece in the 5 piece Anniversary Set regarding the ability to produce the volume needed. They stated that some pieces would be struck at the San Francisco mint. None would have a mint mark. Immediately the TPG's and major dealers started working on a scheme to identify which ones came from S Mint so they could be slabbed and more money could be made. We were told that you couldn't tell them apart. Well, you can because there is a significant difference in the fields. But, that is another story.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
