Just placed my order for 3 2013 ASE's...1 for the book, 2 for putaway...Feeling anxious, wish the mint would sell the silver proof sets in the beginning of the year, but I guess it gives us something to look forward to!
Just curious, who did you "pre-order" these through, how much was shipping and how much over spot for each did you have to pay?
Aydin coins, see link below, Free shipping, paid $36 per coin. About the same from my local coin shops, but they all told me to check with them at the end of January early February and Aydin will ship next week. http://www.aydincoins.com/buy-silve...lver-eagle-coin-us-mint-box-shipping-jan-14th
You got a pretty good deal with FREE shipping, although I notice they now are $37.86 each coin on that same site. My local shop wants to charge $5 over spot for these PLUS tax if you buy less than 3 at one time. I can never understand why you have to pay tax on these..it's like paying tax on money!
Looks like sales of the 2013 ASE's is doing pretty good so far: http://www.silvercoinstoday.com/201...-bullion-coins-log-record-sales-debut/108033/
Wow, they creeped up quick, I bought 3, so I got them for $36.20 each, I see now 2-4 pricing will set you back 36.34 or a $0.14 increase from just this morning. They ship super fast too, so I should have these in hand before my local coin shops get their shipments from dealers.
Prices a little lower there, but when you factor in most people will pay via CC, the price is slightly higher and then tack on shipping, for me, buying 3 coins would have cost me an extra $3 vs. what I paid at Aydin. Thanks for the link, saved for future.
