At melt? Yes! Buy them. If a quick dip cleans them up, or not, it's all good. You will get spot for them at anytime.

It would not hurt to start a tube of junky ASE's, seems they are the only ones you can get a really good deal on, buyers on ebay snap them up like candy. |

My hesitation was twofold. One....does a poor physial condition make them hard to resell and two.....even at spot is $32 a good price for silver in general, as in, do we think we are at a silver price that is at a "buy, hold, or sell" right now?

How could you not want to buy ASEs at melt, at a time when silver is kind of low and likely to go up. People buy worn out War Nickels for melt. Unless the ASEs looked like they had a disease on them, you could probably turn them right now for melt plus a bit. ASEs are probably the silver buyer's best friend. Getting them at $32 melt is a steal. |

I agree with the rest of the comments - I'd snap them up at melt regardless of condition.

Unholly,
You could sell those here for melt, sight unseen, any day of the week (with the prerequisite number of posts, of course).
I'd buy them if I were you.

ASE's at melt (or very near melt) are a buy.. As was already said, if you want them all spiffy then dip them..it won't affect the bullion price.. Three ASE's do not make a retirement investment purchase so worrying about spot silver price movement is a tad extreme p.s. they will cost you closer to $33 today Edited by Foxwoods Man

Quote:How or why would you ever expect to pay less than melt for an ASE in any retail store? My thoughts exactly. If a retail seller can't sell stuff for its scrap value, why have the overhead of a storefront? |

Well as for how, I could see a seller who is lax at keeping up with the silver melt price. As for why, good advertizing. Granted neither of these are a great idea to do all the time, long term, but if by selling some cheap silver eagles you might buy something with a higher profit margin later. And for all you know, being a pawn shop, he might have got those ASE coins for $15 each. |

Buy them up. Even scruffy or less than perfect ASE's still sell for spot plus $2 here. Good ASE's sell for spot + $5 and up here so I would buy these all day long at melt. |

I can't imagine a dealer selling for less than melt. Why would he? A big old lumpy hunk of silver would be worth melt, so why wouldn't a coin? Anyway, you got a good deal.

Keep it in the airtite. |

Quote:The 1996 is a key date for the ASE's And of course the 2006 Reverse Proof is a key in the series too ! .....  (wish I had one ! ....  ) And I hope with the new ASE "Set" coming out......that there's a "key date" in the future here too ! ...  Maybe the "S" mint 2011 ? Maybe the "Reverse Proof" 2011 ? Hmmmm.....we shall see. |
