<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FAT, post: 1424013, member: 37591&quot;]There its a clear difference in finish as well as in relief. The 86 has a more rounded field that slopes up toward the rim and the later years have a flat field (behind Lady Liberty) that squares off at the rim.&nbsp; As well the early years are more polished looking then the late years.&nbsp; Look at your ASEs in person, the camera often can not reflect these differences with justice.</p><p>&nbsp; The mint did not publish or promote any variations in the ASE series to avoid unrealistic rarity. The ASE was/is intended for inverters in Silver to hold in bulk so the mint has made a valiant effort to create the illusion that all Silver Eagles are alike. But we as numismatists can distinguish the differences.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
