ASE Silver Eagles: Numismatic Or Just Bullion?

If you try to sell them, you will only get bullion value less a percentage for them.
So they must be regarded form an point of view, as a bullion value only item.

HOWEVER,

There is nothing wrong with building a decent and interesting collection of different forms and types of silver bullion coins, and that is precisely what many collectors of bullion actually do.

This is pretty much why I started buying them in the first place, the coin guy selling cleaned Peace/Morgan Dollars at 2-3X the Red Book value, and ASEs at a small markup. I've turned to ebay for most of my coins now, I haven't been able to find a dealer even close to reputable in Eastern NC. I would say the burnished and proof versions are way more than bullion, maybe not to the local coin guy but what you can get on ebay is definitely much more.

In my case I just like silver dollars and I'm glad they've kept up the ASEs (bullion or not). My collection is pretty much all over the place: bullion versions, proof, reverse proof, burnished (some graded, one in the box with COA), whatever catches my eye but rarely two of the same year. Personally I think they did a great job with the reverse proof.
