Buying 10th Anniversary Platinum Sets!


We're Taking Confirmations Now!

ModernCoinMart.com is buying 10th Anniversary Platinum Sets from the public at a premium over Mint Issue Price! We are paying $2,100 (subject to change) with a U.S. Mint Order Number. Once you have placed the order with the mint, all you need to do is e-mail george@moderncoinmart.com with the order number, along with your name, address and telephone number. An e-mail will be sent back to you with a confirmation number as well as instructions on where and how to ship your coins to us once you receive them.

We must receive the coins from you still sealed in the original shipping box. Please do not open the box when you receive it from the mint as it diminishes the value of the coins. Shipping and insurance will be at your expense.



Until next time,

Happy Collecting,

Is that the premium they're paying?
How did someone already sell them a couple of sets? The mint is limiting sales to one per customer.

Credit card charges? What charges? You should get cash back on your credit card purchases. I'm going to get 1.5% cash back on my credit card purchase. That's an extra $29.32 on top of the $145.10 profit they are paying per set.

And the amount of work required for this was maybe 2 minutes for ordering, another 2 minutes for letting them know I made the purchases, and it'll be probably 10 minutes to pack and ship the sets. I don't know about you, but that works out to about $700 per hour per set, which seems pretty good to me.

There is a one per household limit when you order from the mint but it is easy to acquire a number of these sets if you like. I think the Beatles and Joe Cocker said it best when they sang "I can buy with with a little help from my friends" or something like that. you can get a bunch of these things if you have a some friends who do not mind ordering for you with a different mailing address and credit card number. Also some dealers have begun to advertise to the general public for these sets before the mint releases them. Kind of like flipping to a flipper.

I doubt the mint ever thought their order limit would stop people from getting multiple sets if they wanted. It slowed down the process some and give more people a change to get one if they so choose.

I guess there would'nt be anyway of stopping the multiple buying anyway. The $2K price tag probably slows it a bit.
