I don't turn my nose up at them, but remember ASE program was designed as a bullion program to simply get rid of the US stockpile of silver. Then it became a money maker for the mint. When I collected US coins, I liked coins, not made for collectors items. Even proof sets I was not a fan of, prefering business strikes. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think a lot of collectors simply look at ASE as dated bullion, not coins. I bought a couple of rolls when they came out as a novelty, and simply put them in the back of the safe where they sit today.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you like them, then good for you, literally. I hope you have the best time collecting them, learn to spot scarce issues for little money, and just have a heck of a good time doing it. Nothing is worthless to collect, especially when you have a good time doing it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
