Opinions On Asahi Silver Rounds

I haven't heard of Asahi rounds, but ASEs and Maples will always have a higher premium than rounds. There's more demand for government issued stuff than the generic rounds.

I've heard of them but not seen them.

I bought a roll. Personally I think they would still be a couple bucks over spot but who knows in this market.

Those are pretty new, I have never seen one in person. I have a few Asahi bars and like them a lot. I also got a few of the Asahi made American Reserve rounds, which are quite attractive. In my opinion, Asahi (which bought Johnson Matthey) are premium generic. They are nicer and more desirable than most generics, and if you can get them for 50 cents-$1 max more than other generics, they are probably a good buy.
