<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gold Rush, post: 583676, member: 860&quot;]Well, Aslanmia.&nbsp; I don&#039;t see it that way and I respectfully disagree.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen how some dealers handle raw ASEs.&nbsp; It wouldn&#039;t be a stretch to conclude upon leaving the mint, 99.9 %&nbsp; or 100 % of ASEs are MS-69 or MS-70.&nbsp; Once they are opened and handled as mere bullion, fingered, thumbed, counted, stacked, dropped back in their storage box over and over, and/or worse, they aren&#039;t MS-69 or MS-70 any longer or the odds are they won&#039;t be the more they are handled. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In 10, 25, or 50 years the numismatic value of older ASEs will become more of an issue, I think.&nbsp; I&#039;m not advocating having ASEs graded or submitted for certification as much as I am just simply recommending that raw ASEs are treated and handled as something that may have the potential for increased numismatic value in the years to come.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
