Did you not read my post stating that the seller refunded all but ten dollars (even refunded the shipping) to my paypal account? Do you really think a flat 10 bucks for this coin was a swindle? I thought it was a pretty good deal at the time - now you've got me wondering. Oh pooh...I'm just not using the right words lately! Swindled as in purchased believing it to be a Proof. I think that the seller was fair and did not know what he/she was selling because of lack of knowledge not intent. $10 is great and it's definitely a keeper. Sorry Ralph, I just didn't explain what I meant well at all. I need a nap! Report this Post to the Staff
Ralph Pillar of the Community United States 1582 Posts	Posted 09/14/2006 4:29 pm Okay, now I really am wondering if what I have is a real ASE, or a tribute. You say the uncirculated coins were not issued in special boxes, but, I'm curious why anyone would make a tribute coin to one with no more value than the 1998 ASE. I took some pics with my webcam to show the difference between the proof packaging and the packaging this coin came in. Not real good pictures, but I'm merely trying to show the difference in the packaging. Also took a scan of the certificate of Authenticity that came with the coin. Sooooooo... is it real, or is it memorex?

Ralph Pillar of the Community United States 1582 Posts	Posted 09/14/2006 5:08 pm All of my proof ASEs have come in the same type of packaging - only difference being the boxes for the early proof ASEs is maroon, and the latter is blue. This uncirculated ASE came in the shorter, thicker box - different in every way, and, since the mint doesn't ship the unc ASEs in special packaging, I'm wondering if maybe I didn't get swindled after all.
