tights24 Pillar of the Community United States 2254 Posts	Posted 04/24/2007 5:46 pm I buy from the mint and I think others here do as well. I think it is a good source for the new coins. A little pricey sometimes, but if you buy everything you want at one time, you only get one $5 shipping charge, regardless if all coins ship at once. Report this Post to the Staff
gonefishin Valued Member United States 112 Posts	Posted 04/24/2007 7:54 pm In most cases you probably wont buy a cheaper coin that from the Mint. Once the Mint runs out of a coin, then the only way you can buy it is in the secondary market. That usually means big premiums. The 20th Anniversary ASE sets I believe sold around $100.00 last year, now the cheapest-ungraded and picked over coins are selling for over 300.00 I like some of the commeratives. I bought a couple of the Jamestown coins. I will also buy a few of the presidential sets when they come out. I also stick to the proofs.... Report this Post to the Staff
basicbob101 Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 04/24/2007 8:31 pm I buy from the mint regularly. I agree that the Unc may appreciate faster due to lower production, but I buy the proofs too. I think it also depends on buying what you like; being a military buff I bought the Marine Iwo Jima comm, but passed on the Jamestown. I would have bought the Silver Buffalo due to the classic design but didn't have the extra cash to spend. For me the Gold and Platinum is out; plus I don't like the Platinum coins. I have a complete roll set (to date) of the State Quarters from the mint...which will probably turn out to be a poor investment, especially since I started late and had to buy the earlier rolls on the secondary market at a premium...so in that sense the person who bought them from the mint originally made a good investment.

ClearwaterCoins Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 04/25/2007 12:46 pm I purchase all the newly issued coins from the mint. I think there prices are lower then getting them from the secondary market. I also like the fact that you can setup subscriptions and they bill you credit card and ship the coin when it is available.
