piscesdave Valued Member Canada 62 Posts	Posted 05/29/2014 08:05 am Good day all , I had a great day today that happened purely by chance . I walked into the main branch of the city of Sudbury post office in the down town and discovered that they had 2011 coins on sale for 40 % off and 2012 coins for 25 % off . Sweet ! I took the opportunity to purchase the 3 coin " Continuity of the Crown Series " for $131.94 for all 3 ( each in its own clam shell box ) and 2 2012 20 for 20 coins for $ 30 bucks . The teller told me that it is a common practice for them with coins that are unsold after 2 years or more .You can bet that I will be visiting this post office more often . * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by piscesdave 05/29/2014 08:06 am Report this Post to the Staff

chubbycheeks Valued Member Canada 480 Posts	Posted 05/29/2014 1:15 pm Always fun to find a good deal. 20 for 20 at a discount? The post office should have thought that one through. Report this Post to the Staff
pocket change 50 Pillar of the Community Canada 1751 Posts	Posted 05/29/2014 5:15 pm Wow that is a great score!! I paid $329 for my continuity of the crown set. It was my first silver Nclt purchase that launched me into coin collecting in July 2012. Two yrs later and I probably have 1,000 coins of all varieties. It's been quite an addiction for me. I do enjoy it vary much, along with the comeraderie of other collectors. Do they have any of the bird coins left? Report this Post to the Staff
piscesdave Valued Member Canada 62 Posts	Posted 05/30/2014 08:03 am pocket change 50 , there were no bird coins left , what I seen in the display case for 2011 were some of the 2011 crystal snow fake coins and a few others . There were also some 2012 coins that I guess there was little interest in .What the counter person told me was that about every 6 months they reduce the price of the coins from the previous year to move them .I had seen and purchased some at 25 % off before but I had not seen them at 40 % off until that Friday I went in . I try to go into the downtown post office when ever I am in the city to see what if any special they might have and so far it has been good .It can be a great way to build up a collection at a little less of a cost and the people there are always friendly and enjoy taking the time to chat with you .

yup7676 Pillar of the Community United States 3789 Posts	Posted 06/01/2014 10:09 am I second that statement that was made by another member, I really wish the USPS sold coins. Look, they carry stamps. They carry all sorts of other items that are not related to the USPS... why not dabble with coins. I mean come on.. plus with the long lines it would give everyone a chance to catch the coin collecting fever looking at them while waiting lol Report this Post to the Staff
piscesdave Valued Member Canada 62 Posts	Posted 06/02/2014 11:52 am yup7676 I think it also gives the post office the right to offer any unsold coins at a discount that you would not get other wise . I guess the only real limiting factors is how many people shop for coins at the post office . I am glad I walked in that day . Report this Post to the Staff
