Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 12/03/2016 10:13 pm Apparently some company is doing a painted style ASE that makes them look similar to RP's at a glance... http://www.numismaticnews.net/artic...ight-not-one Report this Post to the Staff

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12817 Posts	Posted 12/04/2016 04:12 am There's nothing to me about the coin in the article (from photos and description provided) that seems even remotely legit. That said, I can absolutely see where someone not familiar with ASEs could be duped into paying more than what it is worth. On the surface, ASEs are simple. They've only been around for 30 years (thank you, President Reagan) and the design has not changed in all 30. However if you've read any article on ASE's here on CCF there is always confusion on the various annual issues... bullion, burnished, proof, reverse proof, enhanced uncirculated, etc. Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 12/04/2016 06:54 am Very good article. It is always nice to know about what's out there. Every once in a while I run into a coin you know doesn't exist and takes some time to figure it out. Just like in this story. Report this Post to the Staff
Foxwoods Man Pillar of the Community United States 4901 Posts	Posted 12/04/2016 07:46 am Real looking Proofs and MS ASE's ( and MANY other coins) have been available for years on (Not Allowed)...two bucks for a nice proof and 46 cents for a decent MS version... In quantity they will mint anything you want... It is kinda dumb to create coins that never existed though (the RP mentioned) Report this Post to the Staff

These items are almost always made to fool the minimally interested persons who look and see there was never a 2004 listed and think they've hit the jackpot. Someone asks about such fake items here nearly every day. Report this Post to the Staff
