I'm *torn*...

Hyperion

so many nice world issues that I need to get but yet, I find myself pulled toward NOT selling my lone 2011 ASE set because I really like the reverse proof. then again, I can sell it and connect on a NICE BOE issue with the proceeds.

GRR. I guess it's a good decision.

World people, gimmie some good arguments either way.

BOE = Bank of England?

Are you talkin' about one of those BOE dollars from, what was it, 1804?

Sounds like something a lot niftier than some ol' boring ASEs, if that's the case.

(Don't get me wrong- ASEs are lovely, but they're just bullion when you get right down to it- not much history there- and they've got a recycled obverse design, to boot.)

ROFL! indeed.. I have some BOE leads at the moment. more information forthcoming!

Sounds like a no-brainer to me, from a collecting standpoint. From a speculation or "flipping" standpoint, I dunno. I'm not up to speed on modern ASE issues. They're pretty baubles, to be sure, but for MY money, if it's anything I intended to hang on to for a while, I'd go with rarity and history every time. Particularly if we're talkin' a NICE BOE dollar.

The ASEs we know are nice, of course. All eleventy-five BILLION of 'em. (Or izzat some lower-mintage ASE, with mintages in the five- or six-figure range instead of seven- or eight-figures)?

The ASE could be a nice investment coin if you believe it would increase in price over the next year or so. Personally I would sell it in a second if there was something i wanted coming up in an auction.

I agree with these thoughts.

I still have a few of the low-mintage 2008 gold and platinum issues that I'm holding onto for a rainy day. If I ever need the money, they can easily be sold without losing any sleep. But why sell if you don't need to? Just hang tight and see where they go.

Ditto with pruebas. Nothing to be torn about. All these world issues will still be around for ever.


Forgive my Lord who confused ANY Bank of England issue with the BOE dollars. Rob, what if he's asking to boot the ASE for a brand new Britannia ?

I might still do it, from a design standpoint, anyway.

(But of course that would depend on the bottom line.)

21st century piece or a 19th century piece? You must be kidding.
