4 smartmoney coin offers-- evaluate
 

OK in the February "Smart Money" magazine there are four diff coin vendor ads with come on offers. I will put them up here and ask you geniuses to evaluate them in terms of market prices. 2 silver offers and 2 golds. Today is 1/10/7 and I got it in the mail yesterday.

Now forgive me for not taking the time to answer this question for myself, but it took me ten minutes to type this thing in, and I thought it would be fun for y'all to evaluate....

QUESTION: DO ANY OF THESE ITEMS OFFER A DEAL COMPARED TO SIMIILAR ITEMS FOR SALE AT A VENDOR LIKE APMEX?

thanks

Re: 4 smartmoney coin offers-- evaluate
 

i vote for deal #3 except they are in NY and i would have to pay sales tax probably.

Re: 4 smartmoney coin offers-- evaluate
 

#3 isn't too bad, but personally I wouldn't do any of the others.

Re: 4 smartmoney coin offers-- evaluate
 

how come apmex has gold buffalo 2007 coins and the mint isnt even selling them yet?

Re: 4 smartmoney coin offers-- evaluate
 

Hope this helps, Anty Ep

Re: 4 smartmoney coin offers-- evaluate
 

I don't know about the others, but #2 is not very good. While I don't have any loupes, I have 2007 Eagles for $1.99 over spot, and the 2006s due to go on sale soon.

Re: 4 smartmoney coin offers-- evaluate
 

yeah that's the beaumont texas guy. his teasers usually stink. I think I'd rather have a good loupe that will do the trick than a piece of crap freebie.

jen you are hard to beat for silver bullion, thats for sure.

Re: 4 smartmoney coin offers-- evaluate
 

I think that $10 eagle offer is good too but it says based on spot but doesnt say what spot was for purpose of the ad. so, maybe that will be a bait and switch job. I am too busy to call today but I will.

Re: 4 smartmoney coin offers-- evaluate
 

Its presale....you reserve one of the first ones from Apmex and they send you it as soon as the mint puts them out.


I wouldnt do any of those deals. Can you even call those deals????

Take to lonsestar aka Jennifer.

She can hook you up with way better prices.

Heck im sure she could possbile find you any of those coins and blow those prices out of the water

Re: 4 smartmoney coin offers-- evaluate
 

Now for an interesting compare and contrast. I got the March "coins" magazine last night and here is the ad at the rear inside cover.

"universal coin and bullion" (of beaumont texas)" offers 1/10 oz 07 gae for $69 each, limit 3; and 1 oz 07 sae for $14 ea limit 5. not incl s/h. "2 free gifts" are, the same loupe, and also book "insiders guide to us coin values 2007" valut code UCMGS307 800 459 2646 gold basis was 615, silver 12.55.

Re: 4 smartmoney coin offers-- evaluate
 

So assuming $10 for S/H (I've ordered the intro offers from them before), that would be an additional $1.25 per coin, assuming you ordered the max. The new totals would be $70.25 for each 1/10 GAE and $15.25 for each 1 oz SAE. You can do much better elsewhere (although of course this isn't taking into account the free loupe and guide).

Re: 4 smartmoney coin offers-- evaluate
 

Has anyone used New World Rarities? I like their current prices on $5 and $10 Liberties ($175 and $345) - I wonder if their prices are updated, and if I can place an order online (without it being cancelled).

One thing that worries me - they deliver USPS? No insurance, no signature required?? Any experiences with them?

Edit: I will probably wait to talk to them on the phone, see if they mail w/ insurance or something, make sure the prices are updated, and see if anyone else has any experience with them.

the $10 liberties w/motto are in their worst condition of XF for $345

have you see if that is an acceptable condition?

Re: 4 smartmoney coin offers-- evaluate
 

Well, I figure it won't be great, but XF should be something decent, easily recognizable. (They're not the prettiest design anyway. :D )

They don't appear to have pics or anything on their website.

Re: 4 smartmoney coin offers-- evaluate
 

i actually live about a half hour away from them...maybe i should take a ride one day.

Re: 4 smartmoney coin offers-- evaluate
 

You talked me out of it ... I'm afriad the coins will be in crappy condition, or not arrive at all, plus no one has posted any dealings with this merchant. I'm very wary of buying stuff I can't see in person.

Re: 4 smartmoney coin offers-- evaluate
 

The company is an ANA member, as well as an NGC authorized dealer. They'll probably do right by you.
