1987 ASE BU Roll Question

Bigbuck1975

Came across a couple of the original orange cap rolls of 1987 ASE. What is market on these? EBay looks like $550-$600. My question is how readily available are these and what would current fair market price be on these.

Thank you in advance for your insight and responses.

not readily available in orange tube, but also not much extra premium. They're still bullion ASEs with a mintage of over 11 million, the highest mintage for the years 1986-2007. The orange tube was used in 1986 and 1987 with the 1987 coins also available on the market in the green tube. Not sure if this means the green and orange tube were both issued by the mint in 1987. The empty orange tube can be bought for around $12 from Apmex. For that reason I can't see more than a $12 extra premium for 1986 or 1987 tubes of ASEs. With a mintage of just over 5 million, an orange tube of 1986's probably draws a little more premium. Since the empty tubes are available on the open market, I wouldn't pay any extra premium for 1986 or 1987 orange tubes of coins.
