That I buy unopened unsearched tubes of 20 ASE's and instead of searching, I play with them like poker chips? I know if there is a MS70 it may be a $100.00 coin, but for the most part when sold raw, played with or not I figure they will basically bet spot. Plus the pure entertainment value of stacking and shuffling is almost priceless. I do this with my raw Morgans too. If/when I get enough raw AGE's I think they will join the party. I don't know, just something about the tactile interaction. I still pull out my blue box and stack my slabs and stare and stack, but the raw coins are jus so much fun! Am I crazy for doing this?

I think bullion should definitely be fondled! I have a hard time actually playing with it if they are bright shiny .999 fine silver because I know it will scuff up easily. As for stacking/playing with them like poker chips, I like silver halfs and dollars for that

only once. Two coins many times. My Grandfather would do it on his bar (The Ship Bar) in Carson when
I was a kid. It mesmerized me over and over again.

Want to spread the happiness and sell a few as bullion to me?
My dream is having a few rolls of circ Morgans and Peace dollars and just jingle them in a bag
Now that would be cool!
They wobble forever and the sound they make captivates me.

<< <i>I won't buy ASE's that have numerous/heavy contact marks unless they are heavily discounted. Why should I when there are plenty in the marketplace for sale that aren't all marked up? They're your coins so you can beat on them with a hammer if that's what turns you on---just don't expect any premium over melt/scrap value when you go to sell them. >>
