    Simple economics.The mint charges it and people will pay it.

    It's priced somewhat low compared to proof bullion coins issued by the other major mints. People are willing to dish out $56 per oz for unc. "hockey pucks," then a proof ASE should be around $70. image

    The same opinion I had when silver was $14, and proofs were $30.
    They are the worlds largest coin dealer, and can charge what they want.

    Other country's mint offerings have a higher premium to spot for their ouncers, than the U.S has on their Eagles.

    The Britannia 1 oz has a higher price on the secondary market and a lower mintage.

    I see them as primarily bullion coins and absent significant die varieties or exceptionally low mintages, the coins will likely fall in value when silver goes down (if it goes down). I wouldn't wager it. I'm not buying any bullion coins from the mint at this time.

    At $49.99 I'd load up. At $59.99 I might buy one or two.

    A $26 per ounce premium is high.

    The Mint can charge what ever it wants to.

    I in turn, can decide not to buy.

    I've always bought Mint coins, silver & gold. That's changed as of now.
    I believe Bomama has "suggested" they charge as much as possible to help with the national debt. Period and waiting.

    So I guess now we know what the Mint's measuring stick for pricing them is-- ebay.
