Not sure how I missed this one being offered. Oh well. I think this is the bad day where I decide to stop going after the silver eagles. They just are making way too many low mintage varieties annually to make it fun anymore.

I didn't mind an occasional having to outlay a hundred or so to get a special edition, but they are just making so many more a year now that its impossible to justify spending so much. And I don't enjoy flipping enough to go through trying to keep track of every issue and then fighting the phone lines to hopefully score.

I wish they would go back to making special issues available at a decent price instead of making money off of the hobby by selling at inflated prices b/c they know there are people looking to flip and make money. I know. Its just business sense to do so. They will continue. But just how many different ASE's of each year can they make before we all get tired of having to outlay so much to get a set? I am just not sure its worth it anymore. The new design seems like a good place to put a cork in the collection.

I think there are classic coins I might enjoy just as much by trading in my ASEs.
