My local pawn shop had 4 1990s ASE for a week or so. I asked how much and the guy just shrugged and said $18 each, so I was happy with that.. I'll go back tomorrow and see if any more have appeared. |

@silverexile,
Wow, what a price; congratulations!
I would sweep it, too.

I drop by once per week... Any more often would be creepy. He had one more painted colored ASE, in retrospect acetone would have sorted that. Doh! |

He would also see your eagerness to buy and raise his price up. Once a week is probably how I would do it too.

Well, That horse had already well and truely bolted. I have been in once per week.. And picked up some junk silver at..*ok* prices and occasionally Peace dollars for $18. Today I got 2 1921 Morgans (one cleaned, one decent) for $18 each and a couple of Walkers... He then he threw 4 dimes, 1 dateless SLQ and two 40% Kennedys in for free. Said they were not selling so I might as well have them... I was happy.. Maybe more than once a week would be the new plan! |

I would had loved everything but the silver eagles haha. I can't justified the premium. I have a proof from my birth year and like five that were given to me but I just don't want any more. The design doesn't appeal to me even though I collect circulated walkers and they are my favorite. Without the toning and the eagle on the mountain it feels soulless to me.

I can not get those types of premiums where I live. They still want atleast $25 at the shops around me.
However I can get a silver half dollar for $7. These are ms franklins and XF walkers not absolute junk so I'm busy buying them up.

A silver half dollar only has about $6 melt value.

I've purchased a 50/50 ration between ASE's & Maple Leafs in the past two years. About 180 ounces total. |

87 million of these minted over a period of 2 years...these things will only probably be worth silver spot rather than having much numismatic value since the market is flooded with them. I think the mintage should be a fixed amount to add to the collectability.

Well what about spreading it around? I mean have a second bullion coin and maybe split the mintage with that.
