ASE Prices At Your Local Shop

St Louis- currently $21 for the 2010s and $20 for the other common dates, basically spot+$2 for old ones and spot+$3 for new ones.

mine the same as biokemist. milford michigan

Locally (Western PA) the shop is charging $25 for common dates (I get them for $22) and the 2010's are going for $28 (my price is $25). I get a break because I'm the only one (or so it seems) that actually spends money in the place. They do a lot of buying of scrap silver and gold. Problem is they are the only local shop, with a couple branches in the area. Local flea markets are charging roughly the same.

Coin shops here were 20-22 each last time I checked. Maybe 2 mos ago.
The gold broker here (only know of one in my area) gets spot+ 3%.
The broker has lots of silver, but the selection of specific years
varied wildly. He will let you cherry pick though.

When I lived in Memphis, I shopped one, and only one shop (HH). The guy
was laid back and helpful. Now, when I go back to visit, I try (tried)
to buy at least one coin while up there. Memphis is so much larger,
there is always more selection to pick through. Anyway, as I was
finishing my ASE set a few months ago, I had a few hundred bux to
spend with him, and was chomping at the bit to get my last 2 or 3
ASEs, as well as finding other stuff to spend the rest of the dough
on. I went in his shop, and it was messy, he was dismissive, and
he had a woman in the shop with him doing all the business. I told
her what years I wanted, and she pulled the rolls. It just blew me
away when, instead of laying out the rolls for me, she just dumped
on off the top of each roll, into her grubby fingers, and handed them
to me!

She spouted the total I owed, like I was going to accept this. I asked
if I could pick, and was told "those are the best you will find".

This WAS a really high quality shop. They lost an admirer and customer that day.

My experience has been that you can rarely beat the APMEX price for ASEs. Right now 2010s are in the $21 and change range. I would not be paying $25 for them...

APMEX has a great pricing on ASE for sure, but I'm a one or two coin buyer. Shipping for say my two coin purchase is $12.95 divided by the two coins make each coin cost $27.52. I've received good quality coins on all my purchases. I like my $23.30 average on the "Bay"!

IMO, right now is when the true collector works on their clads, cents, and nickels.
The heck with too much anything silver. I wouldn't have bought the last 4 ASEs I did
so close to 20 bux if my ASE album hadn't been so darn close to finishing.
