Did I do a no brainer? I bought 10 2009 Early Release ms 69 ASE for.

Hey guys, I know some of you will bulk at the idea of why would anyone would buy a slabbed $1 american silver eagle coin in a NGC slab graded ER MS 69 for $24.95 a piece.

Well let me tell you why, I paid $249.50 for 10 Ase's that's 24 ozers of silver bullion .9999 pure and got it in capsulated. and free shipping. The seller is even going to give me a new NGC box to put them in. YeePee.

If I would of bought the silver coins by themselves and paid shipping, then shipped them off to NGC for slabbing and then paid shipping and insurance back to me it would be expensive. Oh I forgot the grading fees..

I think I would of paid what the mint charged to send them in the mail at $21.95 and just have em raw.

I will start giving birthday presents, and presents to friends and family for newborns. Hell I might even give one or two away for history.

Tell me if I did bad and why?

Btw the ebay seller was NjSteve very nice seller he had 100 in two different auctions.

  • You are buying the left overs from a bulk submission where cost to slab is $6-8 and they are keeping any MS70s.
    Slabbed MS69s sell for same price as raw coins.............

    Too bad they aren't W mint marked. Yes I know they aren't out yet.

    The regular bullion silver eagles only have $12+ silver in them and no numismatic value.

    If you are happy, I am happy for you.

    I paid $320 for 20 ASE's and am happy to keep them raw in a tube. It's a very space efficient storage solution.

    To me, the plastic, which you paid an extra $9/coin for, adds no value. Remember, the person who had these coins slabbed did so to sell the 70's for more, and you are getting the coins that did not make the cut.

    I've paid less than $15 per coin for several rolls when APMEX had them for sale .... In my book an NGC MS69 for the business strike ASE = spot + $5 max......

    Yea I'm happy, I think not paying shipping and get em sealed and only buyin what I need that was a steal.

    Now I can understand a roll of 20 is a very good price, but damn can't see em inside the roll and also might get those milk spots.image

    J/k on the milky spots, I always think a slabbed coin protected and verified is important to some. Again ms 70, ms 69 overrated. I would just mess em up if they were raw. They tend to nick and scratch easy.

    Did I read this wrong?
    Isn't that only 10 ounces of silver?

    Thanks,

    You didn't read it wrong. It's just par for the course.
    It is only 10 ounces.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
