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.

Well here is my followup. Went back there today and much to my dismay the three they had were sold, but..........
Lo and behold they had some new stuff.
Here is what I got for $315... I am excited
Two 1992 Silver Proof Sets
One 1987 ASE tarnished but OK
Four 1994 ASEs three of which are tarnished, one in an airtite and nice
One 1996 ASE nice and in an airtite
One 1997 ASE nice in airtite
One 2001 ASE in airtite as well
I am all smiles

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.

The 1996 is a key date for the ASE's, great buy at that
price. Keep it in the airtite.

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.
