Hey guys, can someone recommend an on line dealer where I can buy the 2007 ASEs? Uncirculated, untouched, etc. I'm probably going to get 10. Thanks.

Maybe https://www.apmex.com, right now they're selling 2007 ASE's at $14.46 www.bulliondirect.com is selling them for $14.02 in their catalog. Edited by kenny_1745

I would also check with one of our sponsors Gainesville Coins, SuperDave spoke with them at a recent show and said they're great people. |

Depends on which 2007 ASE you are looking for. If you need a proof or a burnished W, you can go to the US Mint website. If you want the bullion investment version, the dealers that Bobby and Kenny mentioned are good. |

Have you checked your local dealer? Mine's carrying them for $15 each, which is cheaper than if I were to order online and have them delivered.

Silver dropped $1.23 today so they should be pretty cheap today.

My only advice is if you go with a bullion dealer, the quality can be somewhat variable (I buy from online dealers at times and they are usually not choosey about nicks, scratches, etc. - but then I only buy a couple at a time).
If you want a nice looking, clean pieces I would recommend a local dealer (where you can see what you are buying).

By the way I was on the US Mint web site last night, did some shopping. I picked up one of the ASEs that was "struck on a burnished blank." I don't know exactly what that means, but I was there and I was shopping, so I bought one. I guess I'll find out soon enough what it is.
Anyway, when it comes to ASEs, I'm not sure if I'm a collector or a hoarder. I've been getting 10-12 per year and back filling when I get a chance. So I've got quite a few.
Question, looking for opinions: does it make more sense to pick up a couple of proofs and or "burnished" each year or continue the hoard? In the end it's all fun.
I know it's a matter of personal preference, but tell me what you think.

The coins that were "struck on a burnished blank" bear the 'W' mintmark, while the regular bullion ASE's don't have the 'W' mintmark. |

Personal preference is correct. I truly enjoy the proofs from the mint. If I buy any of the commems or Eagles, I always get the UNC and proof. Not sure what it is exactly. Probably that extra "pop" when you open the velvet cases....... |

You will pay a premium for the "collector" burnished with the W mint mark, so if you are collecting for bullion, get the normal bullion version without the W mint mark. If you are collecting for numismatic value, then, of course, you need to get them all (2007, 2007-W and 2007-W Proof).
