HSN always seems over-priced to me though I do watch the coin show occasionally to hear the story behind the coins. I noticed they're advertising it as ltd. edition (5830). Assuming that's how many they have available to sell.
Looking fwd to placing my order tomorrow through the US mint. Hard part is going to be the wait.

Not much longer to wait, though. I'll be ready at 11AM Central.

This is a subscription item so, with a bit of advance planning, the need of ordering on day one is eliminated

I can't wait to order this!! It will be my very first ASE proof coin, excited!! I'm currently waiting on four proof Libertads, the 1/10, 1/4, 1/2,& onza 2016 coins. Mexican proof Libertads are where it's at, fellas. The mintages on them are TINY, many only running around 5000 total!! What an investment!

You can subscribe to any of the annual products and the ATB products. Just go to the "Product Enrollment" menu item and you can pick and choose which ones you want.

I believe the man that sells for HSN could sell anyone any bridge, in their own home town......Slick salesman for sure. I too watch the show just to hear his pitch and besides being an educated Numismatist, He is a con man for the show, IMO

Might have to look into that subscription service for my next order. Regardless, just placed my first order. Can't wait to have this in hand.

He is too a con man. I saw a snippet of his recent show where he was selling the gold SLQ in ANACS 70 for more than a grand. PCGS 70s (far more reputable than ANACS) are going for around 750 on ebay. He's somewhat entertaining but I feel bad for anyone who orders from him.

He is selling products in excess of their normal value and everyone has the option NOT to buy them. Not a con man by definition but a good salesman....
Those who do not do the research will be the buyers but that is their option...to buy blindly or check out the true current selling price.
