At what price must silver attain before the mint starts considering making fracs? I'd love to see a 1/4oz Silver Eagle. How about you?

    lol...1 oz'ers already get a premium. Does that mean that a 1/4 oz'er would get even more of a premium the way a 1/10 oz'er of Au does? If so, I dont want em.

    Premiums on 1/10th oz gold eagles are high....but they sell very well even with those high premiums. Obviously people dont mind the premiums as much as you do.

    Don't know about the 1/4ozer but I'd love to see a 1/2ozer.




    To change the subject: There's a thread running on CoinTalk right now about American Palladium Eagles. image We may see them before fractional silver.

    I would love to see ASE franctionals. I would probably pay a premium as well.

    I think it would be great to line them all up with the Engelhard Prospector fractionals.

    Bring it on, something else for me to stack.

    I love fractionals! I hope the Mint will make them and make a proof set as well, like the Libertads.
    IMO, the ASE design will fit very well on small rounds.
    With silver over $25 it would make sense to me, or they can just do the set.

    We pay premiums for Prospectors or generic rounds, I will be happy to pay a premium for a Govt issue.

    On the other topic, can't wait to see the APdE!

    yes, fractionals please! and make them with the states on them, the national parks, the presidents, the first ladies, vice presidents, members of congress, historical state governors and city councilmen, famous burger joints, historical bowling alleys, comic book heroes, rock stars, movie stars, stars of the milky way galaxy, elements from the periodic table, cooking spices, brands of surfboards, cookies, candy bars, and snack crackers, chips, soda pop, cars and motorcycles.... then get really creative and make bullion coins about some esoteric subjects

    That was funny! They should make some colorized coins too!
    Still, I would like to see the fractionals instead of the commemoratives or even the 5ozers with the National Parks (that I will buy a couple, well, that's another story).

    I was actually thinking this same thing yesterday. Bring 'em on.
