The one time I buy from them......

.....is the one time I learned the greatest Silver Eagle cheat code in the nation.

The Littleton Coin Company, generally the company I trash due to their stupidly high prices and things such as using "golden" to make you think that coins like Sacagawea dollars are gold, is running another $30 off $60 sale. The thing: get just over $60, and before any applicable tax/shipping, it's an awesome cheat code.

Thing 2: this "one time only" offer can easily beat their system. I made an order today, and I found out that I can make another order just over $30 with the offer (before shipping).

Thing 3: By placing a just over $60 order, you can get a 2024 Eagle for under $30, even after tax and shipping; this is because you get roughly a 36% discount by doing the "cheat code". My advice is to pair it with supplies like a Red Book, a folder or 2, possibly a couple of South Carolina pay warrants, or a pair of gloves, which I actually need.

Other than learning that no mint sets were issued in 1982 or 1983, discovering legalized system hacks is what Littleton is all about. Snake through their overpriced madness, and it's easy to cut their profits just like that.

For me, Eagles under spot? Hallelujah!

(Let me know if you want the promo code. )

From the law offices of Dewy Cheetum and Howe....

 

LOL, we have cracked the code to their law firm!

Otherwise, the agent on our side is Po'Maintenance "Udda" System, accompanied by his brother Unupda Ted.

 

Is there really a promo code for this? When does it end?

 

The sister firm of Whiner, Diner, Dicker and Dewer.

How about that code @The Half Dime?

 

I once went someplace with a girl friend and signed in as Dewy Cheetum Ann Howe

 

Here's the code I used:

R42430

It ends on the 17th, according to the card I got in the mail.

 

I know Littleton gets abused here a lot. But those coins for approval envelopes were sure a welcome sight to this young soldier overseas long before the days of the interwebs.

 

I have wondered with coins on approval - can you tell them what you collect and they can personalize it?

 

Man, that was almost fifty years ago. I sure don’t remember.

 

Sounds good, but... how many e-mails, text messages and junk mail will this action trigger? The other lesson to learn is that if a company is willing to lose money on an action they're surely aware of, the product is you. Promo code is the bait to find out who to target with advertising so they make it back.

 

Yeah, selling a loss leader to get you on a mailing list or entice (or trick) you into a subscription is a time-honored marketing scheme. Remember these guys? I do, I still have a cassette or two of theirs

 

They lose money on the postage they pay to send me the magazines anyway.

 

They lose money on every sale, but they make it up on volume!
