From a couple coin dealers I've purchased beautiful 'uncirculated' ASE from the 'generic silver tray', BUT THESE had been PAINTED with Dale Earnhardt Jr, or George Bush, or a colorized walking liberty. So, nice silver, with a small premium.
I have about 20-25 of these colorized ASE's.
Since they are still backed by the faith and law of the US Government.... well, yeah, anyway they are and I have them ...even though they've been 'defaced'. And in bartering situations a little color won't matter. |

I love my local coin store. I can walk in any day of the week and buy ASE's at $1 back of spot.
I havent heard of "$1 back of spot" but are you saying the dealer sells them for $1 under spot? That makes no sense whatsoever when the general consensus seems to be at spot or a small premium for ASE's. |
My hobby: collecting real money 1 copper cent or nickel at a time.

| That's why I like him so much. I am going to stop today and pick a few up and they will be $16 to $16.50 each and that is for all dates except the 86, 96 and 08. And Silver rounds are generally a dollar cheaper. |

Man, some of you guys are getting screaming good deals on this stuff.
If i could get ASEs at spot or close to it, i'd pick them up... oddball rounds from who-knows-where, nah. i'm no assayer. |
Considering Verizon Business service? Perhaps you'd like to consider a nice drain cleaner enema instead? |

Try a search for "Ted Butler." He writes a lot about silver and why it is a great investment. He also talks about one of his mentors and his reasons why ASE's are superior.
Personally, I like the idea of diversifying and having some Eagles, and some lower premium stuff--but, there may be a time when the easy to identify Eagle (or Maple) is the thing to have for barter, etc. |

One of the places to find consistently inexpensive Eagles is Casper's Coins. They're usually a dollar over spot or less.

Interestingly, when I checked the site today, I found this: Limited quantity due to the guys over at the kitco and gold is money forums.

Good site and thanks. I was previously unaware of Caspars. |
