I'm Adicted To ASE's

An up-date.

Three members of Coin Community Family have said they are going to send coins to Tricia (Coin Girl). Metalman already has. His package arrived today, and Coin Girl was absolutely thrilled!

In addition, it's been wonderful having members offer good wishes, information and advise to a YN.

These wonderful people are typical members of CCF, and the kind of people who make this forum a true "family."

Great people. Great forum. Thanks so much for making a little girl happy.

Hi, my grandpa showed me his ASE (20th anniversary set) collection and well... I marveled at them. I think they are so beautiful I will get one some way.

Anyone feel like that about a coin also?

Being a Dealer of Military Collectibles I find that interest wains with the amount of survivors. WW1 stuff does not bring the premium that it did. WW2 items are still popular because of collectors themselves or they had Fathers who were there. I like latter day coins! In my opinion MS/PR70 ASE are primo, I do not care which of the top 8 grading companies grade them. Classic or modern coins are a perpetual battle on the PCGS forum and probably pretty, shiny, perfect coins will win over some used 1800's ( cent ) penny. You are right, this is a new breed of coin collectors.

Wow...I've never seen such beautiful coins... I hope one day I could have coins like these:)

I love ASE too. I had a nearly complete set. However, having a limited collection budget, I ended up selling them off to pursue other coins. I still have one that I display prominently in the living room. (It's colorized, don't tell anyone)

This community rocks. I have been on other forums, where someone posted their love for ASE's, and they were told they are bullion coins, and "serious" collectors would have nothing to do with them. This would go on and on until the OP left the forum. Glad you folks are all so friendly and open minded!

We have at least 4 complete sets of American Silver Eagles in the house and, if and when I have extra cash and my dealer has nothing else that grabs my interest, I buy Eagles to throw in my "extra's" box. Nothing wrong with a little extra silver lying around and it truly is America's premier design in silver at this time.

Lightwind_99 there is an email headed your way.

coingirl: Continue saving for the 2007...consider the 2006 taken care of!

I'm taking my 6 year old to the local coin show sunday to get her a 2007 silver eagle. its her favorite coin. I get her one every year but none of the local dealers had them last week for her b-day.
