<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 879268, member: 3011"]In my opinion, ASEs will always sell at a premium because the weight and purity are guaranteed by the government. If you purchase a silver round or silver bar from some other source, regardless of how reputable they seem now, there will always be some doubt about the merchandise to cause it to sell at a discount. Just because something is marked ".999 one troy ounce" doesn't mean it is. So even ignoring the collector factor, the edge still goes to ASEs. But it shouldn't be ignored. Someday the Mint will discontinue the ASE series and the coins will immediately acquire a numismatic premium because demand will continue but supply will be fixed.</p><p><br /></p><p>But everyone has to determine what they want in a silver investment. Silver rounds are perfectly good investment vehicles. I just don't think they are the best.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
