Jim1953 Pillar of the Community United States 2600 Posts	Posted 01/26/2007 10:22 pm Just left an auction and bought a couple of things. Will try to take pics and post this weekend. However, I think insanity set in while I was there. There were ten mint tubes of ASEs. 1992 to 2004. Some had only 18 instead of 20 pieces. Anyway, the 1996s with only 18 pieces sold for $850......$850 plus a 10% buyers premium. $930 AAAAaaaaaaa what don't I understand here. And, no it was not just two guys bidding. This was also an ebay live auction and bids were coming form everywhere. How did these non-coins, just bullion, get to be this valuable? Also, is there a book or something that I can look at that helps put a value on these things? Jim Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 01/26/2007 10:42 pm The 96-P ASE's are the key low mintage coin of the series. 3,603,386 with 500,000 of those being proof issues. They might be bullion but there is a collector following which has managed to bring some of them well above bullion value. supply and demand !! You can get the basics of value on these from the RedBook, but these coins also fluctuate with the silver market, so it takes a little bit watching to stay up on the current market. ebay ,teletrade and other auctions are IMO the best source of current market on these coins.
