HonoluluDude · June 28, 2011 5:50AM

Ouch.

pitboss · June 28, 2011 5:52AM

Not me!

pf70collector · June 28, 2011 5:54AM

Done with these.

morgandollar1878 · June 28, 2011 6:23AM

Probably not.

ianrussell · June 28, 2011 6:25AM

I have to be the first to say I am ordering.

The same people who pay $279.95 for 5 ounce P-pucks.

You can make a small profit selling unopened P pucks to some dealers, can't say the same for the ASEs

Constantine · June 28, 2011 6:53AM

It is the perfect set up for higher values down the road. The $60 is a big hit now, so many will not buy them.......then bingo, low mintage. Down the road for those who really want one, $60 may seem cheap.

heavymetal · June 28, 2011 6:53AM

As a collector of this series, I am stuck buying it. HM

RedHerring · June 28, 2011 7:26AM

With Ag at $34? I'm passing for now.

ricko · June 28, 2011 7:28AM

I was a collector of ASE's... not now. May even sell my'95W.... very discouraging.... Cheers, RickO

TwoSides2aCoin · June 28, 2011 8:34AM

They might want to call them American Silver Turkeys.

Bochiman · June 28, 2011 8:54AM

The mint needs to revisit their pricing on these......

DorkGirl · June 28, 2011 8:59AM

<< Not me! >>

Me neither.

coinhunters · June 28, 2011 9:00AM

I'm not sweating it.

WTCG · June 28, 2011 9:01AM

Considering proof ASE's are currently trading at around $60 the US mint prices aren't too bad.

19Lyds · June 28, 2011 9:33AM

<< Considering proof ASE's are currently trading at around $60 the US mint prices aren't too bad. >>

I agree. $60 for one direct from the mint really is not that bad of a price. Especially considering that should silver continue its rise, selling these for $100+ is not out of the realm of possibility.

I'm actually kind of hoping that folks turn their noses up at these.

Swampboy · June 28, 2011 10:07AM

Me.

Although I can't figure out what to make of this today

Bochiman · June 28, 2011 11:16AM

Considering that shouldn't be part of how the mint prices the units.

TheRaven · June 28, 2011 11:51AM

I will be adding one to my collection.....

Price seems reasonable to me.....

I got the same "Expected to ship" date but not the "Your order request has been suspended".

Is your credit card uptodate?

My subscription already says it's being processed.

Back when silver was $4.30 an ounce (March 2001) these were selling from the US Mint for $24.00 ea. so their markup really hasn't changed a whole lot.

Keeping in mind that the price of silver is not corrected every week like the price of gold. It could go down or it could shoot back up to $45/oz.

Bochiman · June 28, 2011 12:35PM

What was the price of silver when the mint locked the price? I don't think it was just last week, so no "week to week" pricing needed on that...
The price of actual striking, and all the other odds and ends, have gone up, but not near the same % as silver has.

It's nice that folks will pay whatever the mint asks and not question it. Sorry that, while I support the mint pricing on some things, I don't for other things where it is obvious that they are jacking folks.

PinkFloyd · June 28, 2011 12:37PM

<< The same people who pay $279.95 for 5 ounce P-pucks. >>

Folks are willing to pay 340-350 for these sealed....

Anyways, the premium is not so bad. Like 19lyds says....they used to charge $24 when spot was $4. That's 6x spot price. At $60, that's less than 2x spot. And they are a numismatic.

grote15 · June 28, 2011 12:44PM

I'm in for a few. 2x spot price isn't too bad, imo, and if silver rebounds to $50/oz these will go for $100 each.

itsnotjustme · June 28, 2011 1:37PM

Probably not I, however I herd of someone who did quite well buying 100 2010-Ws for $45.95 each, and selling them at @88 each.

DuCrozat · June 28, 2011 1:44PM

I will. I like the number 11.

ClosedLoop · June 28, 2011 1:54PM

what will these sell for graded?
$70 PF-69
$110 PF-70
this about right?

Just checked again

Raufus · June 28, 2011 2:16PM

Most certainly NOT I.

HonoluluDude · June 28, 2011 3:22PM

FWIW, last year these were priced at $45.95, while spot was at around $27-$28 (November 2010).

I wonder how they price these? Projected spot prices? Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason, just pulling prices out of their butts.

boucharda · June 29, 2011 1:47AM

This is one of the best looking coins the Mint makes....I'm in....not all in.....just in

2manycoins2fewfunds · June 29, 2011 2:21AM

Unless you are drinking the FS Kool-aide the time to buy these is in the fall when you have a better idea of mintages.

Other time would be when PMs spike and you can catch them just before a repricing..............

fiveNdime · June 29, 2011 4:33AM

benajmin franklin would agree

ksammut · July 7, 2011 12:06AM

My Proof ASE's just arrived.

19Lyds · July 7, 2011 12:36AM

Two of mine arrived yesterday (express delivery), the other 5 were mailed yesterday.

Twobitcollector · July 7, 2011 12:41AM

Mine shipped yesterday 7/6/2011. I now give these to the grandkids instead of the mint sets and clad proof sets. I do keep one for my self.

USMoneylover · July 7, 2011 12:47AM

All 5 of mine came today. I think they are good looking coins, and make good gifts for a few people on my Christmas list. I make sure to point out to the wife that I'm doing early X-mas shopping too

So who's gonna pay $60 for an 2011 ASE proof come Thurs?
