Ok, they are good also in ASE and USA private silver rounds. I can get local ASE for abou the same cost w/o s&h.

I've used Provident a number of a times, and have always been happy.
Here's their shipping rates:

They are 1 of the best. Their coins prices and shipping prices are some of the lowest in the business, relatively speaking.

I agree I have heard good things about them.

However, if you are lookoing for things like barbers go to a local coin show. THe prices nowadays here for barbers are at melt. You can always go, look around, and pick them up locally and avoid shipping sharges altogether. Plus, you get to see them first, and maybe look at some other coins.

Great company, site. Use them a lot. The prices you see for sold out items are likely the price of the item when last in stock which may be more or less than what it would currently sell for on their site if they had it in inventory. TC

what does this mean

Market Loss Policy

When purchasing from Provident, once Your order is confirmed with a confirmation number, the price for the product(s) included in Your confirmed order (the “Confirmed Purchase Price”) is established for You. You cannot cancel the confirmed order. However, at any time after Your confirmed order has been paid, but before it has been shipped, the Confirmed Purchase Price may be offset (product sold back to Provident) at Provident’s lowest asking price on the day that Provident receives Your written request for such an offsetting transaction (the “Offset Amount”). An email from the email address in your account information will be accepted as a written request. If payment in full for Your confirmed order is not postmarked within 1 business day after Your order is confirmed for Personal Check, Cashier’s Check, or Money Order transactions, or received within 1 business day after Your order is confirmed for Bank Wire transactions, Your confirmed order may be offset and the Offset Amount will be determined as of the last day upon which payment would have been timely. If the Offset Amount is less than the Confirmed Purchase Price, such deficiency is your responsibility, and You shall remain liable to Provident for that amount. For any offsetting transaction, a $35 administrative fee will be charged to You and Provident shall have no liability to You for the product(s) included in Your confirmed order. Any market gain on any offsetting transactions shall remain the sole property of Provident.

It means they have a policy in place to prevent people from being able to game them. You have to have something in place or people will game you, (ie cancel orders if the market goes down the next day, but keep orders if it goes up). If a firm did not have such a policy they would either have to raise prices across the board, or go out of business.

I don't blame them for having such a policy, as I believe its prudent.

Provident is awesome. Many orders from them, always get quality product in a timely fashion at a fair market price.

I dont think theres any coin shows around me

I have bought a fair amount of ASE's from them when silver was lower in price. Fast prompt safe shipping! I will buy from them again.
