[QUOTE="tanstaafl4y, post: 393574, member: 13866"]OK here is my strategy. I buy current year Proof ASE's direct from the mint. I bought prior year ASE through normal channels (ebay, coin stores) in Government packaging (Box, velvet case, insert). The uncirculated ones in Govet packaging didn't appeal to me, instead I've bought 1 or two of ever year (through normal channels) and put in airtites for the collection. For uncircs I will not pay 10% over spot. Also when I can find mint packaged rolls at the righ price, I'll throw them in the safe as "investment" metal...same with name-brand bullion bars. The only slabbed ASE's I have are Gimicky TPG slabs, ie PCGS Signatures, (Jesica Lynch, Lance Armstrong). I also have a first strike or three. I'd like a slabbed "WTC Recovery" ie "Death Coin", but the premium is too high for my interest. Well I do have one each (Proof and business stamp) slabbed at 70 just because...again they were the right price at the right time.[/QUOTE]
