aandabooks Valued Member United States 223 Posts	Posted 10/02/2012 10:56 pm I'm out of town on business and decided to stop by a coin shop I have never been in before. Not great prices on the bullion but I did manage to pick up a 2 coin 1996 Olympic commem set in proof. It is the Rowing/High Jump set. In OGP with COA for $69. I figured it was a good price. RedBook has them at $80 and $65. Figured I did alright. Going to try another coin shop tomorrow after I get out of training. Unfortunately, I didn't bring my list of Prestige Sets tha I own. They had a few at decent prices but I'm not sure if I have the 1993. Guess I need to list them with the Franklins on the slip I keep in my wallet. Report this Post to the Staff

aandabooks Valued Member United States 223 Posts	Posted 10/02/2012 11:35 pm They've got a bunch more Prestige and Commems in a side room. They haven't been priced yet. I indicated that I was interested but would only be in town another couple days. The sales lady said the buyer wasn't there to price them. I figure I might stop back tomorrow. They've got a bunch of the 8oz ASE bullion pieces. I one one from 2003 but didn't bring enough cash with me to buy another. Report this Post to the Staff
wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 10:30 am What are these 8 oz ASE pieces? There is no ASE with 8 oz. They are all 1 oz. Is that a typo then? How much are they listing the ASEs for? Nice deal on the 1996 set. Good luck with getting some more. Report this Post to the Staff

I thought the same thing but APMEX actually does sell an 8oz. I have no clue how long it lasted but doesn't sound like they were very popular. http://www.apmex.com/Product/20147/...ud4AodyhoAdQ Report this Post to the Staff

aandabooks Valued Member United States 223 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 11:31 pm They are 3rd party offerings. Not from the mint. They have the ASE obverse with a normally different reverse. The one I have has the normal eagle shrunk down and a ring of the 5 2003 Gold Plated Quarters that were issued that year imbedded in the reverse. They are quite impressive and normally sell for a few dollars per oz more than melt. Report this Post to the Staff
