Went by a pawn shop today. They had three rather dirty ASEs in the counter. None have any eye appeal at all. Best I could whittle them down to was melt. Are tarnished/nicked up ASEs worth it at today's melt or should I just pass? Edited by unholyroller

I wouldn't hesitate at melt. I would buy them.

Guess I just have a hard time parting with my hard earned money for "ugly" coins, even at their intrinsic value. Anyone else's encouragement though might help push me over the edge...  |

If they were dates I didn't have I would buy them at melt.

That would also depend on what you mean by dirty. If a quick dip would clean them up, then I would without even a seconds thought. If they arent easily dipable, I likely still would because its silver and treat them as bullion.

How or why would you ever expect to pay less than melt for an ASE in any retail store? Edited by beachloan

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
