I checked their site and the price(cash) looks decent. They don't seem to offer 20 piece mint sealed rolls(other than moster boxes). If you oreder 20 individual ASEs are they in nice high MS condition or all bag marked and beat up? I've ordered from APMEX and they were in excellent condition and I am wondering about Provident. Thanks in advance.
provident usually ships single bullion coins or rounds in mylar flips.. i've never gotten one that did not look good...(i put the copper walker in to hold the flip)
I've never had a problem with anything I got from Provident. Although don't expect to get a tube full of MS70's. Even if the coins you get are perfect unless you have them graded you are not going to get a premium over coins with a minor bag mark or hit.
Check the listing info. If you order 20 it says they'll come in a mint tube. They sell off quality at a discount, so you should get all first quality coins. I've ordered off quality and got full tubes of what I would consider bu coins...so there's that too...
I usually order stuff from them but I have received several severely milk-spotted maples from them in the past. The ASE's I have ordered have been great but the maples left me less than pleased.
I've ordered a lot of bullion from Provident and the only quality issue I've ever had was some milk spots on a few Canadian Wildlife series coins, but I don't blame Provident for that. As PeacePeople mentioned, they do sell "off quality" Silver Eagles. If you're ever going to receive coins that are "bag marked and beat up", it would be those. From their description: But then again, they're $2.50 over spot, whereas 2014 BU ASE's are listed for $4.29 over spot...
