<p>[QUOTE="mrbrklyn, post: 122898, member: 4381"]maybe so, but what are you going to do? The reason why Silver is so popular with coins is not just the inherent bullion value or mining politics, but it makes a nearly perfect coin. No other metal engraves as nicely as silver, wears as charmingly as silver, and has that nice warm silver feel and color. Coins, as works of art, are exquisit silver peices. The Mints love to design and make Silver coin and the public adores them. But you can't circulate a .9 ounce silver dollar. And I doubt that the governments are willing to mint them as circulating $50.00 peices, which might be the margin of security from the rising sivler value that would be needed to maintain the coins in circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>So were left with ASE's instead. I would hardly think of them as government spounsored bullion. I believe the government has little practicle interest haing silver available to the public. I don't think the government would be to happy if IBM ordered a half ton of ASE's for manufacture of computer processors. I believe that the mint takes the ASE's amd the AGE's as a serious coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ruben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
