Message:: [QUOTE="hof1998, post: 1348501, member: 24640"]Also - FYI - those are not really ASE's. I enjoy collecting them, too, but ONLY as bullion silver. They are not issued by the US government, so they should be treated (and priced) as generic bullion. I have a lot of them, including one that weighs 60 ounces, but I never paid more than spot plus or minus 25 or 50 cents. I just wanted to make sure because some people try to make you think they are US issued ASE's and should carry a premium. Also, like any generic silver rounds you purchase, make sure it says ".999 fine silver" on it. The bigger ASE type coins usually say "ONE TROY POUND" or "HALF POUND", but make sure to weigh them before purchase. I have 3 different ones that say "one  half pound" on the back. One is 6 tr oz, one is 8 and one is 10. So - make sure to weigh them.[/QUOTE]
