Bizybackson Pillar of the Community United States 1817 Posts	Posted 03/14/2013 05:51 am Anybody get a look at the new ASE to be offered in the 2013 West Point 25th Anniversary set? A enhanced uncirculated ASE with three different finishes, and the usual RP. http://coins.about.com/library/US-C...in-Specs.htm Looks like the coin to get this year! What do you all think?

Teach Pillar of the Community United States 1254 Posts	Posted 03/14/2013 07:03 am It is an interesting looking coin. I'm going to have to look at it a few more times, I think I need to take it all in. I'm sure it will be the ASE to own this year. They sure made it different. Report this Post to the Staff

argentum Pillar of the Community United States 1195 Posts	Posted 03/14/2013 10:56 am A feat of minting artistry there! not on my radar (yet?) as something to add to my collection. Report this Post to the Staff
rking007 Pillar of the Community United States 784 Posts	Posted 03/14/2013 11:21 am Looks nice. When do they go on sale? The Mint website doesn't have it? Report this Post to the Staff
Teach Pillar of the Community United States 1254 Posts	Posted 03/14/2013 11:42 am The Mint website states the two coin ASE West Point set will be sold " May\June ", which would most likely mean that this set will be sold during a limited one month period like last year's special 2 coin ASE set. The exact day in May when they go on sale has not been set as of yet. Report this Post to the Staff

smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 03/14/2013 12:12 pm They are taking a page out of the other mints books for this. Take a close look at a Panda or Kookaburra. They are similar multiple finish coins. cheezy, it's very easy to be that meticulous when you don't have to make a billion of them. I rather think making circulating coins look like that would not be feasible. Report this Post to the Staff

SA4H Pillar of the Community United States 2764 Posts	Posted 03/14/2013 1:37 pm I like it.... this new design will enhance the program & attract more collectors, which probably will have a higher mintage also. If this new approach/method for the ASE collector series (1 month mint to demand) is successful, we will see an increase in mintage and demand over time.... which also mean the 2012 2-coins set will be the KEY to the 'Two coins series'.

addielise Valued Member United States 81 Posts	Posted 03/14/2013 2:03 pm I have a feeling this will be a coin that you'll have to see in person to really judge the effect, but have no doubt this will be a huge seller. Now I'm wondering if they'll use this same effect on the proposed gold Buffalo set? Rumor is a 2 coin set with a reverse proof, if the other coin is a standard proof like the one that goes on sale in May it won't be that special. But if it's a different look it would make for 2 unique coins in that set as well. Report this Post to the Staff
basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 03/14/2013 2:28 pm Im very excited to see how this turns out in hand. I cant help but feel we may have a repeat of last year with the quality issues and a new product, but since theyre trying something new Id be more than fine with it. Well done mint, well done Report this Post to the Staff
