DAY CREW: WORKING HARD

I don't understand the popularity of ASEs. They're bullion, so if you can get them for near spot and you like the design then cool. But I'm not paying a premium for modern silver coins with no historical value or scarcity. I can get plenty of cool 19th century silver coins from places like France, Germany, Mexico, Spain, etc for similar spot premiums to ASEs. And they are a lot more interesting and historically significant and their supply will never increase and they will only get rarer over time. I guess that's why my growing collection is 90% European.

the Flying Eagle has a really cool design. It's disappointing that it was also the first of the small cents. I collect larger coins that I can hold, carry, flip, etc. Anything smaller than a half dollar usually doesn't interest me. If the Flying Eagle had kept the same size as the Braided Hair it replaced, I'd probably have one in each year.
