Thstim New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 10/06/2023 5:34 pm SOO not sure if I picked the right subsection for this question butttt I purchased my first Monster Box of Silver and opened one of the tubes to discover that they all have this edge error / issue. Does this decrease there value ? Can't honestly see how it improves it because it doesn't look all that cool . What do the Pro's think ? Any word of wisdom would be appreciated.

nss-52 Moderator United States 54280 Posts	Posted 10/06/2023 5:42 pm Looks like you may now have fingerprint issues. That "edge issue" is intentional. It is supposed to be an anti-counterfeit measure.

Jakes Coins Pillar of the Community United States 735 Posts	Posted 10/06/2023 5:43 pm aside from handling them without gloves there would be no decrease in value. If I remember correctly it is a "security" feature on the newer silver eagles. I've been collecting for a couple years...

Big big NO NO touching them with your fingers like that.

livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2214 Posts	Posted 10/06/2023 7:30 pm Yup, the US mint started putting the edge notch in 2021 for security. Each year they move it to a new location on the edge. But it's really not a very secure feature compared to the great security features on the Canada Maple Leaf and Britannia. I've seen a YouTube video showing a fake silver eagle with the edge notch. As others said use gloves to handle these, leaving fingerprints can reduce the value some when you sell them.

mike31093 Valued Member United States 354 Posts	Posted 10/06/2023 7:40 pm I had to google Monster Box of Silver to get a cost idea. Wow! Double WOW! So what exactly is the purpose for this kind of purchase? If just bullion why not buy bars? Please, someone enlighten me! Report this Post to the Staff
livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2214 Posts	Posted 10/06/2023 7:48 pm ASE are the most popular legal tender bullion in the world. Historically their premiums have not been real high but usually higher than generic rounds or bars. During Covid ASE premiums skyrocketed, sometimes up to about $10 - $12 per ounce. Premiums have since come down but will likely always be more than rounds or bars. You pay higher premium buying them but when you sell you will get more for them too. ASE are very liquid, easy to sell. A lot of collectors like to buy them and have them graded/slabbed or buy them already graded/slabbed. They are a collectible coin to them, not just bullion.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94817 Posts	Posted 10/07/2023 1:28 pm Nice little stack of now cull, fingerprinted silver. But that missing reed is an intentional 'part' of a new security feature placed on these coins - the rest of the security features have not been released. Collecting since 1972.
