Popular Post VKurtB Posted July 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) I’ve seen the gold, and I have the silver Eagle with the new Type 2 reverse. They are for sale on the bourse floor by at least 5 dealers that I noticed. These are NOT the proof or the burnished W version. These are the bullion strikes. The detail on the feathers is AMAZING on the ASE. The obverse has also been redone. There is more detail in the Walking Liberty throughout and the designers initials have been reestablished at their half dollar location.

Hoghead515 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 That's awesome. I can't wait to get one. I'm ashamed to say that I haven't even checked them out yet. I've been super busy with so many other things here lately. Everything I own is breaking down on me. I've worked on junk till I'm sick of it. I think I will give them a look tomorrow. Interested in seeing the new design. Lem E 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lem E Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I got the email telling me to check my credentials for the new proof Tuesday, so I’m hoping it will be on its way soon. Hoghead515 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VKurtB Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share Posted July 10, 2021 Here is a 2020 ASE and a Type 2 2021 ASE side by side, reverse up, both in non-PVC flips. Sorry about the mixed color ceiling lights at the FUN food/rest area. Lem E 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henri Charriere Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I am going to take a wild guess here and rule out incandescents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex in PA. Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I really don't care. Just another 'trinket' put out by the US Mint. Bullion is Bullion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be sure to stay off your lawn. I keep a Dansco album of the bullion version ASE’s. One per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that were true my 1986 and the 1995-W would be worth the same price, proof or not. Ditto for an Englehardt silver bar with a low serial number, and an identical one with a high number produced years later. Alex in PA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the days I was stashing away bullion. I have a 2016 roll of ASE - From the US Mint unopened, unsearched, untouched, and I bet a dealer would give me LESS than spot and probably melt. It is only PROOF or UNCIRCULATED when sold by a Coin Peddler. It is BULLION when you and I sell it. Edited July 11, 2021 by Alex in PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Bill347 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Cool I got a 1998 P proof ASE the other day for $45 and thought I did just fine . Haven’t see a P proof . I also spent about six hours going through my niece and great nephews coins. Lots of world coins and looked up values. France, Britain, Germany, Panama, Chile, Austria, Caribbean, Holland, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, a couple of 1922 and 1923 peace dollars and my personal find was an 1893 Columbian exposition half dollar that I get to keep for my efforts! Would like to have them all as the 26 year old really doesn’t want them. Well maybe later I’ll buy them from him. Some are quite worthy, in particular two Panamanian Balboas. but happy to go home with this too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex in PA. Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I am amazed that the United States Mint, et al, have taken a one ounce round of bullion and made it in to a collector's item. Then they place the majestic Label on it and up goes the price again. Ah those 'First Strike', 'Signature', etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes time for my kid to sell my ASE’s (raw in a Dansco), and some other jabroni’s kid to sell their MS70 slabbed Early Strikes, those kids will receive the EXACT SAME PRICE. But their kid will be taking a big honkin’ loss compared to what they have in them. Edited July 13, 2021 by VKurtB Alex in PA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
