<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rsand, post: 1600883, member: 40749&quot;]ASE&#039;s are coins. They are legal tender. Proof strikes, reverse strikes, have numismatic value. Ditto China Pandas and other nations series. I bought 2006 and 2009 Pandas for my kids since those are their birth years. They are beautiful coins and I hope they appreciate their beauty as well as a sentimental value for them someday, no different than I feel for the 72 proof Eisenhower that my grandfather bought me when I was born.</p><p><br /></p><p>That all said, I also bought a couple of buffalo nickel rounds for my son and I this year for the holidays. Those are not legal tender, but I bought them for the design and for my son&#039;s enjoyment (he&#039;s 6 - big and shiny = good) but would not consider buying such for much over spot, nor would consider grading them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most important notion here is that ANY collectible market is established by the value people place on collecting! There is no such thing as a &quot;sucker&quot; collector, or maybe more accurate is that we are all suckers. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> A cent is legally worth a cent. That is immutable. Some people collect buttons. Who am I to say that they&#039;re suckers? If they enjoy it, if there is a market for it... collect away! There most certainly is a market for mint and proof ASEs, for mint quality Pandas, etc. If anyone has any MS/PR69 ASEs and doesn&#039;t appreciate or enjoy them as part of their collection, I&#039;ll be happy to buy them for a dollar over spot![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
