i didnt like the matte white finish the 2012 had so I went with the 1989 with the mirror finish i know its a bit blurry, its hard to control the depth of field ont he lens I used because the lights in my room are so dark and the flash was too bright and just reflected off the coin   |

thanks, but I dont know about buying sets right now, I dont have that kind of money, but I definitely will take money out of my monthly entertainment budget to go towards building up from the 1986 until now and will hopefully make a set. i havnt had a set since the State Quarters came out and those arent even anything special since they are circulated coins |

If you get into sets, the 75th anniversy and 2006 sets are the way to go IMO, but get ready for hundred dollar an oz. premiums....
May be best to just shoot for those and rolls when you can....
A tube of 20 of those bottom line is about 700 these days, where the 2006 set of 3 goes for just over 300....

Nice coin, congrats!! the ASE was also my first bullion coin, actually I bought it before got to know what is "bullion", just wanted "unusual USA fine silver coin", and going by design ordered the ASE. As I understand, your ASE have BU finish, not a "Proof". So, generally "Proof" has a frosted relief on the mirrored field. And "Reverse Proof" has Liberty's mirrored relief on the frosted background. Both - Proof and Reverse Proof are beautiful coins. |

thats cool, maybe ill get the proof next month as I'm replacing my entertainment budget with a silver/bullion coin budget.
maybe ill try to find 1986 and work my up each month until I get to 2013 or 2014 however long itll take me to find and start from the very first

They really are stunning. My avatar is a picture of an RP ASE if that helps |

that is nice, although I should start now saving up for the next ps4 and the next gen xbox, lord knows how much those things will cost on release and I need to be prepared to spend big bucks, so I have to start saving now so I'm not surprised when the time comes
