<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1472078, member: 19065&quot;]Not really, numismatic AGE and ASE products are both modern coins produced in significant quantity, &#039;not intended for circulation&#039; (NIFC) which by all definitions of coin rarity obviates them from the realm of low mintage, including the 1995-W ASE! Plenty of other world mints produce similar collector products in quantities of 5,000, or less in certain cases.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s no logical bargain when buying a product made of silver where the asking price is $75 per ounce when spot has been decreasing and in roughly a third of that price. That&#039;s certainly no bargain for the consumer, but it certainly is increasing <i>profit</i> for the Mint. As well, with each year&#039;s Proof and Unc-W ASE release and now each successive &quot;special&quot; product they release in this series, we continue to see them increase the offer price, annually. If silver products were a part of the Mint&#039;s precious metals pricing matrix, this product would be much closer to a reasonable retail price for what it is. Sales are slow(er) for a few simple and obvious reasons, an elongated opportunity to purchase them without fear of a sell out, the new &#039;mint-to-demand&#039; concept they have currently in trial with this product and the falling silver spot price compared to the asking price of this product.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
