Foxwoods Man Pillar of the Community United States 4901 Posts	Posted 12/05/2016 2:06 pm Kinda cool except that I can't see those soft gold halves surviving being dropped into tubes. I didn't even know they were put IN tubes.... Treated more like the bullion ASE's Report this Post to the Staff
clairhardesty Pillar of the Community United States 1027 Posts	Posted 12/05/2016 3:17 pm It looks like they are being treated exactly like the BU Gold Buffalos. Knowing (or at least believing) that even the Uncirculated ASEs "undergo a specialized minting process, which begins by manually feeding burnished coin blanks into presses fitted with special dies", I am astonished that these special, low mintage coins are being machine handled and tubed and boxed before going into individual capsules and special boxes. It feels like a slap in the face from a beautiful woman just because you said "hello". Report this Post to the Staff

BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 12/06/2016 3:30 pm Re-watching that video, I think that it was misleading. The video showed the picture of the gold WLH, but the machine that running had a screen which said 22K gold bullion and displays a picture of the gold eagles. I think that will explain everybody's bewilderment about the gold being tubed. Report this Post to the Staff
