Just Bullion...but In A Slab

There are a tad over 500 of these so far...

I am not a registry person...never have been...or...did you mean I am insane?

I do have a original bank roll of 1986-1990's though. That's why I was interested

I found a receipt for the 90's

You got one of the early ones from NGC. A nice low registration number. Here your coin and three from Heritage for comparison, the last one has an even lower reg. number than yours.

Two things:

..I would never PAY that for a similar ASE...but I would SELL one for that

...middle Heritage coin...what is that small burn-like mark (rim at 11 o'clock) doing on a Heritage 70 grade coin ...or any 70 grade coin

Both fogging and white spots are very typical problems (especially for PCGS, and a bit for NGC) that occurred after encapsulation.

I can't tell you how many times I've gone to buy collections that included TPG'ed ASE and the owners just pulled their collections from their bank boxes only to find that there Mint State, Proof, Burnished (not so much), and Reverse Proof's have either developed fogging or white spots.

Buy your ASE TPG's in hand, or only from great photos of the ACTUAL COIN you will be sent, or you will see this fogging and white spots in your own hand too soon.
