I found an ad in the paper the other day for a 2000-2006 BU date set of Sacagawea dollars. Interestingly enough, the price was only $4.95 for the set. Of course, it took 10 minutes of talking to the sales rep to actually drive home the fact that NO I'm not interested in a membership for 2 years for only $49.95, NO I don't want 500 Million other doohickeys, etc. I guess I was just paid $2 for the 10 minutes on the phone with them.
Be sure to post pics when you get tem. I have seen simialr things like taht. And most of the time these "awesome" deals turn out to be pretty good deals, but they send you some other junk, and most of the time you have to have a membership with them. But, still, it is probably worth the aggravation in the longrun. How much is the shipping? Phoenix
Sounds like a classic example of a loss-leader... they advertise an item for less than their cost for the sake of getting you into the store to buy more stuff later, increasing their profits by increasing their sales volume. Expect a lot more offers in the mail after you sign up for this, lol... they have attracted you as a customer. Once someone is a customer there are more likely to buy something than if they were trying to make a cold sell to someone that's never done business with them. You can bet they are banking on that fact.
No, but I've dealt with them before (their "on approval" stuff is pretty cool, except for the prices on the coins :rolling. This is from the American Historical Society. Pheonix21: $4.95 was the shipping price. Technically, the coins were "free". All I had to pay was $4.95 s&h.
Oh, okay. Then your not getting a bad deal. I love that "free" bit. But, still, good deal. :thumb: Phoenix
Ok. I guess I don't get the comments about postage. The point is you can bust open the envelope and you got $7 face value of coins for $5. Doesn't matter how much they paid to mail them. Who cares? I have heard of people who get these deals. Besides refusing a hundred things, sometimes instead of getting the coins, you get another form to fill out and then another one (of course, all with more offers). BUT eventually the few I've heard of get their coins.
I have responded to many of these ads and they are legitimate marketing tools. It's a pain in the neck to listen to and decline all of the other offerings, but I generally find that it is worth the effort.
Since I've been unsuccessful to date in finding anything more than a single 2002 in circulation, is it possible to post the 800# and the offer code for this deal. I've dealt with the American Historical Society for free silver eagles in the past and wouldn't mind doing it once more if I can get my son some of the Sacagaweas to put in his flipbook for under face value. Thanks in advance
No problem. The number is 1-800-530-5615. Just ask for the 7-year Coin Set of Sacagawea Golden Dollars advertised in the Wisconsin State Journal. Be ready for them to try to sell you a million and one other things.
OK, I got them in. They are average UNC grades. They threw in a "free" Nevada state quarter too. All in all, a pretty good deal. :hail: :goof: Here are some pics (couldn't resist showing off my custom mouse pad, LOL :goofer
I forgot just how slick they are when you call. It makes you afraid to cough or clear your throat lest they interpret that as an acceptance of their costly offers. Thanks for posting the number.
Wow, they are very nice. A very good deal. And nice Mouse pad too, lol. I beginning to think you have a liking for Morgans, lol. Oh wait no, can't be. Must be my imagination. Very nice. Phoenix
they are even giving free morgans on their web site not to mention franklins walkers and ASE. wow i would have ordere done of each but i dont like the hassle
