@silverguru22 Who would buy an ASE from the mint for $175 ?
There should be no surprise they're not selling them and this should not be the basis for your conclusion that the retail market is dead.
@ehelpmann I'm saying those are really nice and that I did not realize there were coin-type-bars, as you had described. Who would have 'thunk' it is an expression meaning, I did not know about them before now.
