Hi I've been seeing 1/10th oz ASE floating around on ebay. Are these legit? Doesn't the mint only make 1 oz coins?

Those come from independent "mints" somewhere, probably China. Not even sure if they are silver but a bad buy.

Yes (referring to ASE silver coins)

The 1/10 oz. (or other size) Silver Eagles for sale are privately minted rounds and almost all I saw use the word "round" or " ASE style" in the description which is appropriate

Respectable dealers also sell them ( APMEX) for a few bucks each...along with Morgan dollar, Liberty walking etc. designs in 1 ounce and other sizes.

The U.S. Mint makes 1/10 oz. gold eagles and used to make 1/10th oz platinum eagles, but they've never done 1/10th ASEs.

The markup is huge on these. Avoid.

They can be cool to collect singles though. My dealer gets them in every once in awhile. I have a 1/10 Walker version and 1/10 Indian 2.5 dollar version. He sells then for $3 apiece so it's cheap fun for one. I just try not to think that I'm getting it at $30 a ounce lol.

Just happen to have one sitting on my desk.

They are real ...just not really made by the U.S. mint

As posted these are made by private mints ..
(mine says replica on reverse)
