<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Govt Mule, post: 2109877, member: 73667&quot;]I agree, that&#039;s always been a problem with the ASE in my view.&nbsp; I have read &amp; heard on many occasions that the mint charges a $2.00 over spot fee to the AP (I&#039;ve never been able to document).&nbsp; Mark up is then passed on down the line.&nbsp; The mint/AP relationship has always left a &quot;brown taste&quot; with me, personally.&nbsp; I understand the ASE&#039;s prominent position, and in no way, am I trying to change anyone&#039;s opinion regarding the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>During the sub $16 pricing last week, I was attempting to make purchases with long term goals (grandchildren).&nbsp; I actually considered the ASE and looked at quite a few dealer offerings on monster boxes.&nbsp; I checked with SDBullion and the Docs were offering ASE&#039;s in any quantity (1-1500) for $2.25 over spot.&nbsp; In monster box (500) quantities, this price was close to competitive with Provident &amp; BGASC.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not attempting to shill for SD, but for those of you who like the ASE and make purchases in small quantities, check their pricing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
