<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mach330, post: 1096233, member: 25161&quot;]I would have to take offense to that, as someone trying to build a set of graded ASE&#039;s. Please tell me what the difference is between a graded silver eagle and a graded washington quarter or kennedy half or ike dollar or wheat penny? An ASE is a coin just like the others, with a face value of $1. Why would anybody want a high grade wheat penny? It has 3 cents worth of copper value. Or why would anybody pay $200 for a 1937 Washington quarter? It has $5 worth of silver. Seems like a stupid investment to me. Except it&#039;s not. Because there are only so many high grade coins of any type in the world, and serious collectors want the best specimens they can afford. I would love to have a graded set of Peace dollars or Ike dollars or Walking Liberty halfs. The whole reason most people collect coins is because they think the coins they collect look good. And a lot of people want the best example they can find of a certain coin, because they look better.</p><p><br /></p><p>Someone else commented about how they are all the same except for the date.. Are Washington quarters or Kennedy halves or Wheat pennies any different? No. I would never buy a graded set of Lincoln pennies, but that doesn&#039;t mean I&#039;m going to call someone stupid if they do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
