Thoae are very different items.

An ASE is the USG getting into bullion sales.

Norfed is a crazy protest

 

Yeah, I read the Norfeld threads here. Putting aside the protest aspect, it appears to be a rarity given the low mintage rate of these types of coins. If you would recall that Cuban cigars were once banned, and now people are allowed to bring them back to the US. At some point, I would imagine the value of a Norfed coin could appreciate in the future as a collectible item. Not sure if this is a good analogy or not.
