I went my my local dealer a few days ago, needed the unc 2006 ASE for my dansco album. His asking price was $16.00 plus tax. I didn't buy it. Seems like that was too high, even with silver at $10 and ounce. Is this about average? Thanks Margaret |

Hi Margaret Try doing a search on ebay for the 2006 ASE,, I was looking around last night, at active auctions, and the range with time left was anywhere from 8.00 to over 12.00 not including shipping. As for your dealer, I think you can do better than 16.00 Plus tax IMHO. But in His defense If he paid spot plus a mark up from the wholesaler and shipping, at even minimal 20% markup retail, His price could very well be legitimate. Factors involved are how many he bought, (lower numbers = Higher wholesale=Higher retail, when his order was placed,presale at a lower spot or later at a higher spot market. well you get the idea,, In other words prices can and will vary to some degree based on a few different factors.

I can get the Eagles at the $12.50 range right now. Actually the next batch of Eagles my dealer buys would probably be $12 as silver has slipped a little in the last week but current stock will remain at the $12.50 for him to come out on them. If you are content with this price just email me and I will pick one up for you.

I'd probably expect around $13 give or take a bit or two if I went to a show. I haven't looked but I suspect my local dealer would probably be around that but he sells quite a few of them.

I saw several different prices nearing the fifteen dollar mark for the eagles...........and this was LAST year when silver was 8 bucks......most of the prices I have seen in the coin mags are $12.50 and up.......and that does not include S&H charges........so sixteen is not an unreasonable price........but you may be able to find a better bargain by careful shopping!.......Good Luck!

This is why I hate seeing the price of silver go up. More people want silver and sellers starting probing for higher prices--which I can see. Buyers probe for lower prices when interest drops off of something so why shouldn't sellers to the same when prices go up? But it's still aggrevating. I used to buy art bars on ebay usually for 2 or 3 dollars over spot and $2 shipping. Now it's not unusual to see a common bar selling for double spot. And suddenly sellers think it takes $4 shipping even though the bar still only weighs 1 ounce. |

Thanks everyone for the input. I did feel $16 was higher then it should have been. It does make it a little harder to decide what to buy now that silver seems to be a lot higher. On the other hand..........  the silver I bought last year is worth a little more, Longnine, we all want it both ways,  although since I will probably never sell anything I collect, buying cheap is really all that matters! Crystalk, e-mail sent. Thank you. Margaret |

ASE from the mint are different since they are proof strike and are always a higher price. the ones we are talking about are UNC ones and are typicaly lower. so that is why yours from the mint is so much more. those ones at coin shop whould be the same price you paid.

Demonboy279 if you find any Eagles, any DATE at the $10.00 level you had better buy a bunch. Last weekend my very conservative dealer had 2006 Eagles at $12.50 and ALL the other dates were $13.00 or higher. The 1994 is also starting to move upward but not near the value of the 1996. The days of cheap old Eagles are over!

Id love to buy a bunch but my pocket just cant handle it if you know what I mean. The prices are usually 10$ and the people dont know jack about coins. I bought a barber half from the place and I had to tell them what it was. They are mainly a pawn/gun shop and have a very small section for coins which is mainly ASE and the gold eagles. Naturally I get what I can cuz I'm attracted to silver |

Ah, sounds like you have a great place to pick up bargains! Usually when someone doesn't know about real coin value you find just the opposite (antique malls and such) with prices through the roof!
