I'm not sure if I can post the phone number or vault code because it says the ad cannot be duplicated without written consent. PM me & I'll send you the info.
check the fine print carefully. You are probably agreeing to an "approval service" where they keep sending you overpriced coins that you have to return within a certain time in order to not purchase them.
I got mine from Universal, although it is encapsulated it appears to have some slight marks on the coin. It is graded BU - First Day Issue, by NGC
Did you get the insiders guide? What's that all about, compared to Redbook, Krause, or numismedia guides?
Yep ! It a coin value book year 2011 by Scott A. Travers & Michael R. Fuljenz. The nice thing about the book is that it besides prices it also shows mintage.
Well, I suspended my suspicious nature for the length of time it took to order this. Hopefully I won't be inundated with solicitations I don't like and unauthorized "orders". Time will tell, but the good thing is I will probably not have the same card I ordered with, because my bank (Wells Fargo) is planning on doing a 10 dollar a month fee for checking and I am planning on leaving them over that, assuming they will not have any checking accounts that are free then. I'll let WF know that if in the future they reinstitute the free checking, I'll be back, as it's not personal. They've been good to me other than this and the one time they charged me for new checks and wouldn't waive that fee.
I ordered. They said shipped free. They operate in Texas, so Texans get charged tax on it. They take your phone number (so they can call you with offers), your email (so they can verify stuff and send you the monthly newletter and offers) and the payment. Best I can tell is that it's their way of getting a potential customer base going for people who like to purchase ASE's and other coins. Pretty cheap way to do it for a company, by my estimation. They are probably only spending about a buck something for the mailing, and supplies, and have some huge deal with NGC to do the coins really cheap since they only have to be certified as BU \ First Day of Issue. So I don't think the company is really losing anything on this, as long as they get X amount of future orders from the customers, and perhaps take away from some of the other companies out there.
Sorry Steve. It says you must have the ad in hand & that it can't be reproduced in any medium, without written permission from Universal Coin & Bullion. I just re-checked their Website, & didn't find any links to the offer.
Got the coin & book today. A fair bit of bullion advertising included, but a heck of a good deal. Value? Not sure, but I'd guess it cost them my $2+13 on their end to send everything out to me.
