    Just looked at BB and ASE's and Kooks are $2 price difference in X100 lots. Is this insane? thats 0.02c per coin premium. Don't get me wrong I am not complaining, but am I missing something?

    I have X20 ASE's If anyone wants to swap for X20 Kooks, both pays postage.. :D + 40c fiat

    Wasn't there a new higher premium on the ASE's from the mint.
    I heard that the mint increased their premium = higher price.

    Hah nice. I bet its because of the ASE shortages going on over there. Bringing them up to the same price as our far better looking kooks :)

    Could simply be a case of the ASEs being priced reflecting their cost price - if you imported when silver was $34+ compared to Kooks at $32 it might be reflected in the prices.

    If they cost the same money Id never buy the ASE, the Kook changes its design and has lower mintages and is a
    more beautiful coin and comes from a better country than the ASE :)


    20 ASE = 19 Kooks at least !

    I think the ASE is actually a very beautiful coin and with a good quality case, can stand up next to a Kook pretty well I think.

    Not QUITE as good, but hell, I wouldn't ever say no to them!

    Price does not reflect value simply what the seller can get on the open market.
