US Silver Eagles or Canada Maple

Just keep thinking it could be turtling dangerous - especially if there's a hot topless Libertad
chick " distracting" you.
Sorry to keep derailing topic.

Canada has been slowly amassing 95% of its population within 90 miles of the US border. Their planning to invade.

Kidding aside.

I am a US citizen and have lived in Canada. Even married a Canadian.

Every Maple Leaf I have ever received has had scratches on the Queen's face. Granted it may have improved her appearance, or at least hid it, but just not good. I've looked at the Maple Leaf maybe twice.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... Mexico Libertads all the way. They put a hot topless chick on the face of their national coinage. Lady Liberty is elegant and classic but wouldn't you rather go out with the winged Victoria from Mexico on a Saturday night?

To quote the Admiral, it's a trap. Our new Obamacare software doesn't work, so we are planning on assimilating the Canadians to take your healthcare software. Besides, we are on to your plans to sneak Canadians across the border through that pipeline.

Of those 3 choices, the ASE is the easy choice. The bid-ask dealer spread on the Libertad is 3.19 vs. 2.49 on the ASE and 2.54 on the CML. If I am in Canada, I would probably get the CML. But for almost everyone else the ASE is the no brainer. The design doesn't change on any of them, so they are bulk silver coinage. Under these conditions, premioum spread and ease of sale are the main considerations. In both cases, the ASE is far superior to the Libertad and the CML. I like all 3 coins, but when I purchased it was 5 CML, 5 Libertads and around 1900 ASEs.

When I sold the ASEs earlier this year, I got a 2.15 buy premium from the dealer. That was higher than the 1.49-1.79 premium I paid dealers in 2007-2010.
