Greig Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I noticed that some Silver Eagles have no mint mark yet the label might say, "minted at the San Francisco mint" or the West Point mint. Are these bullion coins? Thank you, Greig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsshog40 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Regardless of the title, they are bullion! Hoghead515 and MAULEMALL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lem E Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 These are your average bullion coins but they came from a monster box with a particular serial # saying which mint they came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoghead515 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Thats the way I see them also. Collectable bullion. Got the collectors value but if times ever get bad may have to count on the silver content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lem E Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 These days in the silver eagle game, you are buying labels. You can buy that same $25 bullion coin slabbed from $35 to $300. Just depends on what the label has on it. Like it or not, that is the reality. Hoghead515 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its still the same coin as the rest of its same grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen83333 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Why would an ASE be bullion, but a Morgan not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lem E Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Dont know a ton about morgans but I would assume because it was a circulated coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsshog40 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Yep, Morgans were circulated dollars that went into the public, just as were peace dollars, seated dollar, Ikes, etc..... Silver eagles were never minted for circulation, only bullion collectible's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that, it is difficult to think that you spent hundreds on $25 worth of silver, but the reality is you did just that. The good news is that as long as there are collectors willing to pay the premium for a manufactured rarity like the reverse proof it will be worth more than just the bullion value. The ASE program started out as a simple bullion program, the mint through a series of limited productions and gimmicks has turned it into something else.

BigGoron1981 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I have a 2001 ASE proof that appears to be unique. The coin has a counterpunch. It is punched by the Western Numismatic Reserve Cleavland Has anyone ever come accross one of these? Anyone know about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a club founded in 1921 by 6 members. I would say by the date, it is an anniversary commemorative for the club. I have seen some decent prices on those stamped coins.There is definitely some numismatic history there. I suggest you google it. Can we see a pic?

Popular Post JT2 Posted January 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2021 Oh boy!!! don't get me started on this!!! ALL of these FDOI, Early Release, First Strikes, Centennial set, anniversary set..etc.. Is a bunch of ! . These have been invented by some genius salesperson created by television hucksters and the TPGs went along with it. It is just a bunch of garbage and ruining the hobby for people just starting out thinking that they have something special. Moreover the TPGs are giving them a separate category in their price guides. WHY!!! they aren't special they are the same as the regular issue. Also just because you have s special label that you paid extra for DOES NOT MEAN that that coin is any more valuable....LABELS do not make the price of a coin. This garbage has gone far enough.

I just wonder why a counterstamp from a club that existed in 1921 would end up on a 2001 silver eagle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it have a grade? Been looking. The WRNC also commissioned at least one medal probably more. In my searching I've seen a few other counterstamped pieces from the WRNC, sometimes both sides of the piece are counterstamped, sometimes not. I was wondering if it straight graded or not as well, my guess is yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
