Bizybackson Pillar of the Community United States 1817 Posts	Posted 03/29/2011 2:41 pm Is this worth buying at $200 or more? Does anyone actually own one and are they indistinguishable (except for the date of course!) from proof ASEs made by the US Mint? I read somewhere that only 3,000 pieces were privately minted and have thick and thin initials, but haven't found any other references to them. I'm not sure what to think, expensive bullion coin, marketing scam or what. I'm sure date set completists/purists will want one to cover the gap in their proof collections. What you all think?

While Mr. David Carr does a great job creating art pieces to "fill" a whole in a certain coin series, e. g. the 1964 Peace dollar and the 2009 ASE, I still think they are just expensive silver rounds. I was going to buy one until I saw the asking prices. Bottom line, they still are not "coins". I think you'd have to call them tokens. But I'm not an expert. I also admit that it's just my opinion, and I'm just a collector. There are many CCFers that have purchased them. From what I've read, they're happy with them. Report this Post to the Staff
