Sorry Bruce...I was hoping that you'd understand my reference. I was trying to pin-point how close we probably are. I'm in Dreamland Villa (DV) and closeish to Leisure World. Maybe we could plan a trip to our favorite shops and meet someday. My husband and I go coin shopping about weekly or so. I use to go twice a week or more but, I'm working M-F now at the CVS on the corner of Recker and Brown. I'm in the Pharmacy. I guess the answers have all been given as to the price of the ASE's so hopefully, noone will mind that I'm waaayyyyyy off the subject! Whoops! |

ClearWater Coins you CAN'T buy uncirculated ASE's directly from the Mint. All the mint offers is proof versions of the coin. |

I'm confused then as to what is available in March/April on the mint website? Or am I missing something with this statement? Are you talking the 2006 ASE? |

What 64 is saying is you can only buy proof silver eagles from the mint they do not sell business strike silver eagles to the public.

I called the US Mint in 2004 to see what was required to buy SAEs directly from them (doesn't hurt to ask - right?).
The Mint Director actually returned my call.
Needless to say, I still can not buy directly from the mint.
Some small details like proving a net worth of $60 million and providing my own armored car service.
The mint website does provide a list of direct buyers.
