Fair point, I can still assure you you can pick singles up for $35-$37 AUD

If you know anywhere in the US that sells them for that price id get them. Like mentioned above though I've never seen them below 40ish and usually closer to 50 than 40

The reason I chose 20 coins as my example is that anything less than that and the shipping crushes you. If you buy any coin one at a time, shipping is usually way more than the premium over spot. It seems that at about 20 coins, the shipping can be spread out enough over the coins to make it far less painful. Seems to me a lot of people neglect to add the shipping into their cost basis when they "invest" in coins one and two at a time.

http://www.bullionbourse.com/#ecwid...uct=14565723Doing a quick calculation $734 AUD is $747 USD so $747 divided by 20 works out at $37.35 a coin, just over $5 over spot. I would prefer to pay around the same price for early year kooks but each to there own. Ofcourse you would have to see if they ship to America

Bullion Bourse ships to Japan, and I'm sure it ships to US ... good variety of coins, earlier dates of kooks included
during the next dive in price I'm going to order some from them ... I had a list to buy but since I waited price increased $4/oz

Im scared to even look into what shipping to the us would cost especially since it would need to be insured so someone didnt steal it along the way reading the customs forms

However, the cost seems to be prohibitive, at least at consumer retail rates. Lets say you buy 10 troy ounces of Kooks and the total weight of secure packaging comes in at around 1/2 kilo (1.1 pounds). The cost of shipping and insurance alone is $83.00AUD. |

Its more the airport baggage handlers I'm worried about. Anything from AUS will come to the US on a place and probably through LA where baggage handlers will get first dibs at it. All one has to do is read the label and bam its gone before USPS ever gets their hands on it and it basically becomes a well we did our job or we never got it and you get hung out to dry in the meantime.
But I agree the shipping adds a large premium onto it. The final price seems to be close to the same in the US where either you pay more for the item and less for shipping or get it a little cheaper and pay more for shipping

CW, Perth Mint has a pretty good deal going, unless it ended last month. Spend $300+ and S&H is free. |

Traevin does that by chance include international shipping or AUS only?

To the US, Baseball. I used the promotion a couple of times now. It was expedited shipping, as well. Highly recommended.

Looks like they changed it.
Was going to jump on that offer but now their site says it 400+ and excludes bullion
