Eagles $18.95, would you buy from them? I don't like sites that indicate they may be US mint, so it rubs me wrong to do business with them. Your thoughts............

Ordered lot's of the ASE's earlier in the year, $16.95 each, free shipping on orders over $150.00. Shipped promptly. They are Very Pricey on their numi's, and a lot of people complained about 'sales pitch' calls. I was never called, sure miss the $16.95 deals! |

I, too, did the ASE deal mentioned above. No probs at all. I got a call from someone there trying to sell me on trying their numismatic side of the house but told them had no interest in coins and haven't been bugged since. would buy from again |

I think they are rip offs... in the sense of the prices they want for stuff. Usually asking double, triple on coins that usually be had for less, sometimes they make APMEX look cheap lol They tend to run "specials" which I think they just run to drag in new customers and then call you to death and what not. Didnt they buy out MCM coins I think? outside of that, I havent heard anyone getting ripped off by paying for an order and not getting anything. Just that their prices are not inline with true market prices. |

Thank you. I can't find silver eagles less expensive at this time. Most dealers want $19-23 for them. Is there a less expensive place?

Took advantage of the $17 eagles and $108 1/10oz gold pandas from them earlier this year. Can't complain.

I only buy the Wedge Tailed Eagle coins from them (because I have to) buuuuut there was a promo where they sold 5 WTEs at spot price (about $15 I think) and they sent me 5 MS69 graded ones with the Mercanti signature. Not too bad as long as you don't mind the emails

I've bought and sold with them in person. Never had a problem. Their prices are usually in line with other companies doing the same. They are honest folks.

Thank you again, took advantage of the deal as I was able to use 5% back credit card. With the $ .95 cents back brought the price down to $18.00. Lots of good info people!

Govmint just sent me a bill for 199.50 not 189.95 advertised for 10 silver eagles. Discover Card was charged 199.50 so I had to dispute the charge. Getting my paperwork in order to send to Discover. My advice,"STAY AWAY FROM GOVMINT.COM!"

A dispute over $10  Why not just call them and if they don't refund the $10 eat it and move on? Kinda overkill on a knee-jerk reaction, no. You still got a decent deal plus calling them will let you know what happened then go from there but a cc dispute shouldn't be used for such a minor thing. Fyi, If you do it often enough the cc issuer will no longer let you do it or might just cancel the card. It should only be used for gross overcharging or for items you never purchased. |

well... I can sympathize with his reaction.
I had a same situation with Westminster Mint, they had a advertised special or sale but the Ad says NOTHING about an extra charge for using your credit card.. I bet the same is happening here.
I dont mind paying what it is, but tell me up front, dont hit me later with it.

It seems some people are used to getting "ripped off." If you don't do anything the," getting away with it crowd;" will get worse until 5 mph over the speed limit becomes 10, then 20, then you have California. In California you usually get horned and flipped off if you drive the speed limit.
Stand up for what's right!

Hey, its your money and your time but Have you called them yet? No need to get go off half-cocked until you get a sense of what actually happened. And if it's in their boiler plate that they charge $10 extra for cc use then your dispute won't hold water. All I'm saying is that for $10 filing a dispute is overkill and your cc company will think the same. Do as you wish though
