Buy 2010 America the Beautiful 5 Ounce Silver 5 Piece Set at Close-to-Spot Price?

Yes, I received email notification yesterday with the tracking number and scheduled delivery date. Oddly nothing from CNT even though another poster said he received an email. Maybe there was an error in taking down my email address over the phone.

Speedie: how do the CNT's look? 69 DMPL?

 

I wish! It's hard to tell as the Z5s have been handled at various stages of packing/shipping, so they're not as clean as they could be. Difficult to tell what's on the holders and what's possibly on the surface of the coins.

Hopefully later I'll get chance to don a pair of fresh cotton gloves and take a look at them through a loupe, then place them in fresh Z5s. Honestly I've seen pics of PLs and DMPLs and have no idea how the TPGs are telling the difference on what were minted as bullion coins.

 

HRM. Glad you got your sets! I'm still waiting on 3 right now and have not heard anything from any of them

I haven't seen enough officially graded coins in person but the coins which will grade PL or DMPL are pretty obvious with basically a mirror like finish where you can see your reflection, with no die polish lines etc. which many of these coins have.

 

Hope you're not getting them from same dealer as you are allowed only one set per household now, unless you ordered before that little stipulation came into effect!

 

One per household was in effect before the first orders from any AP were taken. Many people got multiple sets.

 

I seem to be slow on all of these. Is anyone still taking orders at this point?

 

Yes, this Saturday Coins n Things will accept phone orders.

 

What is the price at Coins n Things?

 

$1,100 which includes shipping and $6 face of 90% silver to get around the MA sales tax.

Breakdown on my invoice is:

ATB Set: $858
$6 Face 90% Silver: $175
Shipping/Handling: $67

 

Thank you.

 

Na it's all in how you work the system, like onecoinpony said I just ordered them from each of the resellers. In total I have scored 6 sets, sold 2, have 1 right now and am waiting on 3 more to arrive. Take advantage man, take advantage. I figure if I don't someone else will!

 

Lol! Nice!

 

First reports are Coins n Things sets are nice quality. So jump on them.

 

I'd have to agree with that, and the MTB set is pretty nice too. Between the 2 sets that I received today, only one coin has a major flaw that I've found so far (MTB Yellowstone, has a gouge near the "Y"). I'd say at least 6 of the 10 would rate a PL or DMPL designation if graded.

As an aside, I found a buyer @ $150 cash for the $6 face of 90% silver that CNT is packaging with their sets within an hour. That reduces the set cost to $950 including shipping or $38/oz. Barely over spot, delivered, for U.S. Mint bullion. So yes, jump on them would be right!

 

does any know if CNT takes credit cards?

 

If they are taking orders and not reservations on the phone, credit cards would be the only way it could be done.

 

No they don't. They take your name and phone number, then call you back later to get your shipping info and give you the address to send payment to.

 

10-4 , ty

 

Then the reality is they are just making a reservation and holding the item until you send them the money and your check clears. I guess they don't want to pay that 2 or 3 percent to the credit card companies.
