Is it worth checking for Errors/Varieties on these coins?
I just purchased a roll that will be arriving today, and was just curious if it even matters if an error/Variety is found on these coins?
Thank in advance.

on Bullion ASE rounds? probably not. unless the error is huge and is standing out dramatically. |

That's what I figured, but thought I would check with you guys on this one to be sure.
Thanks Dearborn.

"on Bullion ASE rounds?" Dearborn... I guess they are considered the Uncirculated ASE. But I see several here call them bullion coins. I apologize for the confusion on the correct terminology. Still learning on the ASE's |

Yeah - the "Bullion" coins that are never priced at bullion cost. Now that you mention it - I've never seen anybody selling an error ASE. |

If there is no mint mark on the ASE reverse side, then it is a bullion coin (or 'round' if you will), if it has a 'W' mm on the REVERSE (don't confuse the designers initials on the obverse for the mm) then it would be an uncirculated coin. If it is truly a bullion coin then they only sell for SPOT prices plus usually $10.00 (so the seller can make money on it..) Edited by Dearborn

I just bought them for bullion, but I also like to take a close look at my coins for errors/Varieties. Gives me something to do, and I enjoy it. I mainly stick to Lincolns for the most part, but am taking a break from those and have been working on silvers. Mostly Morgan's. Also toying around with ASE's (non Bullion). But figured if I do those, I might as well start with the high end ones first. 1995 W. Still pondering it. Morgans are fun because I enjoy the Variety hunt, it's the reason I started this whole coin venture. Thank you Datadragon, I will take a look at those links. Edited by kurdlezuit

Heres one more link with a collection of American Eagle errors with photos https://minterrornews.com/features-...-errors.htmlI guess they are out there and few are looking, but its not going to be common to find these. I agree its interesting to look if you already happen to be getting them for other reasons. Edited by datadragon

Still pondering it. That's the way I looked at it. I had a pretty good collection going, but was becoming despondent over the the 1995W. I finally decided that I needed to "crap or get off the pot" and get a 1995W, so I did trade and got rid of some silver and gold in order to get the 10th anniversary set, the whole thing |

Well that 1995-W set is a 'must have' set for serious ASE collectors.   Edited by Dearborn

That's what I'm pondering. Is it the set thats worth buying, or just the ASE? I haven't looked at the mint numbers for the gold coins vs previous years |

Generally the gold in the set is generally a little over spot, and the ASE will run about what a proof 69 will cost. So it's not a terrible investment. I don't see the price of the set coming down really. If you're planning a graded ASE collection, your could consider just going with a graded 95W. I have the set, as does Dearborn. The set just has a certain panache. Very limited. |

Not that it really matters, but I did do a quick look (not thorough) at these coins under the scope. There is a die crack on all 20 coins down the middle of the Eagles beak.
Again nothing major, just a common crack.
