Kristofer Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Also, leave your reason for your preference if you have one. I like them all but my favorite is the Panda because It looks so terribly nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleBobo Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I went with the ASE because I own more of them then I do any other bullion coin but I do have to say that the pandas are quite nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristofer Posted January 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Wow, no love for Canada. They have a very nice coin. I'm sure someone will go to bat. [update]: I'm glad someone went to bat, good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristofer Posted January 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 OOOOoo, ASE and Panda are tied. I'll be excited to see the results tomorrow. [update]: I like giving the play by play, as I made this message someone voted for ASE, this puts the ASE ahead by 17%. You can literally feel the tension in the room, who will walk away with this win? We'll see tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Could you post some pics of each of the three? I'd love to see them side by side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristofer Posted January 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Sure! Just remember, especially with the pandas that there is much more artwork out there but I'll post what I can find. Try not to go based solely off of these images. I just grabbed what google could find. So there may be some unfair representation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 They're all beautiful but I went with the ASE. I've always loved Liberty Walking Halfs -- used to get them in change as a kid. I wish we had more classic Liberty type designs on our coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bustchaser Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Before I can vote I have to ask, "Which one can I get for the least premium over melt?". Bullion is bullion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwing Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I went with the Walking Liberty, maybe it's because I am a little prejudice or that I was considering a 2007 Silver Eagle Proof. Maybe I can be convinced to get a uncirculated 2007 coin before they go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCanadianM Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Before I can vote I have to ask, "Which one can I get for the least premium over melt?". Bullion is bullion. So very true. However, I like the Maple Leaf. Just looks so clean and purdy! However I need a ASE first for the type set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfdollar Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I think that it would be a toss up for me beacuse they are both beautiful. If I had to pick one I would have to say American Eagles. But Canada tones really cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 My favourite silver coin is the Anglo-Saxon penny, but modern society calls and I went with the Eagle thanks to Art!! Clive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I like the Maple. Looks gorgeous and like a quintessential coin. (don't have me explain what I mean... I can't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Personally I am not a big fan of royalty on coinage so I went with the ASE, but my favorite design has to be the Mexican onza/Libertad, that's a gorgeous design! Lettered edge extra thick from 1982-89, reeded edge from 1990 on, and redesigned to reduce thickness and increase diameter to be the same as the ASE from 1996 on. Here is an image of the first type: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flbandit Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 I like the ASE and have a few, but the Panda is real close. I als have 1 MapleLeaf and I love the leaf pattern, but the other side is kind of plain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nutmeg Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 I voted the ASE for one reason only. They are the easiest to liquidate when the time comes. All three are beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echizento Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 The ASE, I love the design of the Walking Liberty and the Eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drusus Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 none of them do it for me to be hoenst but ASE for the pretty nice walking lady and the eagle aint half bad . The silver coins I like the most are the ones that are worth FAAAAR more than ASW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 For me, I would go with ASE overall, SML (reverse) if it's just one side. Pandas IMO aren't really a bullion coin, but rather a pricey coin that happens to be made in specific weights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumisMattic2200 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I can't stand pandas, I went for the Eagle as it is a true collectors' coin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristofer Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I can't stand pandas, I went for the Eagle as it is a true collectors' coin I have to say I'm very surprised at the result, and it makes me happy to know that I mainly own ASEs! I would like to see more votes just to see if the landslide continues. Does anyone have any other coins that they think would be a good contender in this category, like the libertad?

The reverse you show is one of my favorite designs and the obverse is, of course, typically beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ageka Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 They ask an unreasonable price for the new libertad in Germany but my vote goes with the libertad and the ASE as second I do have old libertads though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
