Circus Pillar of the Community United States 3079 Posts	Posted 05/05/2013 09:40 am Gotta luv the adverts for the private mints selling coins, in the Sunday papers. Two caught my eye this morning. This one was interesting for two reasons, One is for ASE's "STRICT LIMIT of 40 coins per household". but then the price discount caught my eye, I just bought mine from a LCS a week ago for a couple of bucks more than offered. But at least I got mine. Here is the deal 1-4 coins---$29.95 each +s/h 5-9 ---$29.75 10-19 ---$29.50 20-40 ---$29.25 So the more you buy the more you save .70Â¢ per coin if you buy 20--40 coins. The best statement in the 3/4 page ad in USA weekend magazine is "Our advice? Keep this to your self. Tear out the page if you have to,because the more people that know about this offer the worse for you. Gives an offer code if you call, and their street addy along with their web site. But the best thing is it is the New York ______ located in Minnesota! Like the replica 5 pound Queens jubilee coin my dad bought from the British mint, located in Wyoming! The other one is for a Attack on Pearl Harbor colorized half dollar for only $2.95 S/H and guaranteed delivery of course the hook is the approval service from a stamp dealer Glad I wasn't drinking coffee when I read it. Always nice to start the day with a laff and smile. Edited by Circus 05/05/2013 10:28 am Report this Post to the Staff

It is amazingly sad how companies think people are so susceptible, because sometimes they are. Edited by noahs-numismatics 05/05/2013 09:44 am Report this Post to the Staff
Demarco Bishopp Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 548 Posts	Posted 05/05/2013 10:16 am When I first started collecting I did fall for one of these ads. It was from a private mint here in Britain advertising a "Half-Crown" solid gold coin for Â£30. That's about 45 US dollars. I thought it would be a great deal because historically a Half-Crown was 32mm in diameter but then the coin actually arrived. My gold Half-Crown that cost me Â£30 was 10mm in diameter and weighed half a gram. Even worse, it was 9ct gold. Report this Post to the Staff
