There was never any trickery ... the deal was crystal clear. The original poster read what he/she wanted to read... a great deal. When in reality it is a terrible deal.
Geesh... this doesn't even qualify as fine print.

Well, you do get a free Collector's Guide.
I'm scrolling through PCGS price guide, guessing which coins you're going to get. So, 1921P ($67), 1921D ($120), 1904O or 1885O ($82), 1879S or 1882S ($82), and 1883CC or 1884CC ($245)? $596 worth of trend price coins for $1230. Such a deal. Maybe they cancel before shipping the CC though.

OK OK guys, you can stop beating me on the head now. It seems simple if you ONLY read that one line, but I guess they distract you with the flashy brochure and hyping up all of the other information that gets you excited hoping you misunderstand what the deal is. It seems that worked with me. Since it seemed like the deal was too good to be true I posted the deal here asking "what am I missing?", and after many responses I finally got the correct answer. I guess they figure I'm a sucker that will buy anything since I bought some of those 1964 Morgans for $10 each from a different company (National Collectors Mint). I knew they weren't real but figured I could buy 5 of them, keep one as an interesting novelty, then sell 4 of them for a profit, which is exactly what I did. I paid $75 for 5 of them ($10 each plus $5 each for shipping), then sold 4 of them for $150 on ebay and kept the nicest one. Sometimes a bad deal can be turned into a great deal. LOL! |

If you would like a mintmark set of MS-64 Morgan dollars, cherrypick PCGS or NGC examples on ebay. Don't just buy any coin; instead, buy examples that are exceptional for the grade that might have a chance at MS-65. Or get examples that have excellent toning or are CAC certified. Remember, buy the coin, not the holder.

Yes, the Carr reproductions. |

BTW, someone posted that PCS can also cancel the deal at any time. I just looked over the brochure very carefully and there is NOTHING that states that. Maybe it says this on the website, I don't know as I've never visited it. I'm just going by what they sent me in the mail.

IMO purchasing examples that you are able to pick is always better than the "random coin" offers. You are able to "hand-pick" examples that are on the higher end of their grade.

Even if they legally have the right to do so, that isn't a deal they'd want to cancel. :) |

"Price is subject to possible adjustment due to unusual market conditions" This means, that if for some reason, they can't procure the later more expensive coins in the series for the price they anticipated paying, then they can RAISE THE PRICE. |

What a deal! Where do I sign?  NOT! They also offer all 3 years of the CC Mint Morgans for only about $1400. They are slabbed! Of course they can slab a VF coin, there is no guarantee of the grade of the coins you get, so you may get 3 "G" coins for your $1400. What a great deal. NOT!  |

I started in coin collecting when I found a Littleton coin add on a matchbook in the 1950`s and my 1st buy was a 37D 3 leg Buffalo with full horn for $37 next a xf 31s cent, then each month 3cent nickle, 3cent silver and more til I couldn't afford any more. $37 was a lot of $$$ for a kid with a paper route for cash. But then all silver was face. The coins were nicely graded
