Shopping Channel Christmas Offer

Actually it is cheaper than issue price... This is NCLT not bullion. Big difference.

I think TSC can be a great way to buy coins, especially the more expensive ones. When they are new and available at issue price, it's nice to be able to pick them up with the easy pay option. A 5 Oz. coin that can be unaffordable at $500, is now only $100 per month for five months. On TSC website, there are even some Kilo coins. I would never be able to afford $2250 for a coin...but $374 for 6 months seems a lot more doable. I just think it's a great way to get bigger ticket items that you wouldn't be able to afford all at once. The nice thing about the payments is that they are interest free and, majority of the time, TSC offers the coins for issue price. The same guy who does the Coin Show owns Canadian Coin and Currency, so it's almost the same as just buying from his site, except you have the option to spread the money over a few months.

Sometimes it's even better to shop with TSC, too. The 2013 O Canada 1/2 Oz. set was available from them on subscription, just like the Mint, at issue price of $39.95 except each coin came with a clamshell and box and you still got the wood box to store all twelve.

I'm not sure why people feel you are paying more than what they are worth or that you will regret paying for it each month....if the coin is offered at the same issue price of the Mint, then you don't have to regret anything.

I like to watch the Coin Show mainly to see the coins but actually buying from them? Generally, their offers are over priced or available elsewhere and their shipping is usually prohibitive (thought they have free shipping over $150 right now).

For the most part, their blockbuster and shopstoppers are collections of coins and sets that are widely available at huge discounts and cheaper than TSC. I can't believe that Mr. Bromberg doesn't know that much of the 'facts' he lays out are untrue. He talks about sell-out in days of coins that have not sold out or took months to sell. He talks about every coin like they all appreciate and so on. Either he is being deliberately deceitful or he is the most unknowledgeable collector and store owner in the country.

But, my biggest issue is the notion that spreading a purchase out over a number of months is a good idea. We all have different ideas about spending on a hobby by I would never buy a coin I could not afford to pay for immediately. If you are taking advantage of the installments as a matter of good cash management then fine, but the monthly payments as a reason to buy a coin is not something that makes any under any circumstance sense to me. And buying anything, never mind a luxury item, on a credit card while incurring interest makes me shudder.

When I go to the checkout they add taxes for a 99% silver coin ...




That applies to ANYTHING you buy with you CC and you don't pay the full statement next month.
If you pay the full amount you used, you pay nothing of interests.

TSC must have had at least 5-10% of the entire colourized polar bear mintage. At least they were selling them at issue price if anyone is interested.

It's arianzo, in singular.

Well, what I understand is that the total amount is divided in 6 payments (months). So, are charged your CC every month. If you pay the full amount of your CC you don't pay interest.
The Bank get a commission of about 3-5% from the seller from each transaction, so they make money just with the fees, they don't need interests.




Thanks for sharing your experience!
I didn't complete the checkout. If I see the taxes there, I don't place my order!




I tried that 5 minutes ago. I'm at Step 4 next to the button "Submit order" and my taxes are there. Maybe the system is not configured properly as I've 1 item that does should be taxed but they calculate the taxes from the full amount, and that's wrong.

I tried this time with just 1 coin and anyway doesn't work, take a look
