<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinbuff, post: 542391, member: 9564&quot;]Your welcome,tmoney.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Remember that it&#039;s very easy to misinterperet emotion from written words in a forum, as we&#039;re not speaking face to face. It&#039;s human nature to do this. Be assured that most here only want to exchange opinions and be friendly and helpful to each other. Also remember that a healthy argument isn&#039;t a fight or bad thing - just two different views. Usually resulting in benefit for both sides as long as respect is maintained. :thumb:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The bottom line as to <i>my opinion</i> is this:</p><p>While ASEs are tchnically bullion coins, they are monetized ($1 face) and they are produced by the US Mint with laws mandating how and when they are produced. So this has and will result in some issues being scarcer and rising in value to collectors. As long as there are collectors for them this will hold true. Due to this, directly comparing them with silver rounds - which can be produced any time, in any amount, by anyone with the ability to do so, is really not correct. Kinda like comparing raisins to grapes.</p><p>That being said, and considering that these never circulate - they are invested in as silver bullion or collected as U.S. Mint issued coins, they all are kept in mint state. Any issue that is scarce will rise in value, as long as there are collectors to collect them. The fact that it is in a MS69 slab really does not affect it&#039;s value because pretty much all of them are at least MS69 due to superior production techniques and non circulation.</p><p>If you buy raw ones, store them carefully, and one becomes a rarer issue you can always have it graded with confidence it will get a MS69 and possibly a MS70, in which case you may get to cash in on the premium for being graded should you decide to sell it. But <i>paying that premium</i> for each one you buy because it is slabbed MS69 will more than offset any gain you may <i>get from that premium</i> on one or two in the series that do become scarcer issues.</p><p>Again - JMHO <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
