Cool Silver Bars from National Collector's Mint

I now and then purchase replicas and precious metal product from the notorious National Collector's Mint. Personally I have never had an issue with them...prices are well in line with the quality of product...even the special precious metal items. These were $26 a piece. Nice and crisp looking. Minted by Sunshine Mint for them...

Really - that's pretty close to 10$ over spot - what makes them so collectible at that premium? Sunshine Mint ONE OUNCE bars or rounds are usually just about a dollar over spot!!

Do you work for them? Silver is silver. There is nothing crisp about it, and $26 per ounce is a joke.

You either are representing them or have not a clue about what you are buying.

 

$26 --Ouch!!!!!

 

I don't see anything in OP's posting history to indicate that he's shilling. Lots of other posts about similar material, from a variety of distributors.

Clearly, there's at least one person who finds these items worth buying, even at these prices.

 

Just a couple weeks ago one online place had ASEs for $16.95 . Govmint.com .

 

Dang it, and I only got 20.

 

That's all I got too , they had that 10 coin limit . But you could keep ordering . Great price with the free shipping .

 

They have them at $17.95 each now .

 

Agreeing w/ jeffB.

I had to look up "notorious" re: National Collector's Mint. Wow, just wow!

Safely declared "unscrupulous" too.

I'm not sure WHY anyone informed, of moral character, etc. would knowingly do business with such a firm. But their "success" is why I'm convinced Tulving could be back at it, soon enough.

 

Considering the OP hasn't been back, I'm assuming he was running interference for that outfit.

 

I love the remark "the US Mint can't stand competition." Wonder where that company's attorney got his law degree. Probably off a box of Cheerios.

 

The fine was too little . These are thieves , and should do some jail time .

 

Nah! Cheerios is too high class for them , probably some underground smut book .

 

Made 22 million$? I guess the saying "Americans are the greatest scam artists in the world" is coming true!!

 

Sold $22 million. Paid $750,000 fine. Nice margin. If that's all they can be fined, then Congress needs to update the law.

 

Congress? You do realize the opposite of pro is con - as in "pro"gress vs "con"gress!
