How'd I do!!

I don't think I did great but I don't think I did bad either, I just got a 2006 ASE NGC certified brilliand uncirculated first strike for $17.00. I don't think that is bad for a certified coin. Let me know!!!:rolling:

I think thats a good deal, congrats!!! do you have pics of the coin?

 

Here's a link to the auction, the picture sucks but it is a certified coin and is close to melt value.

Looks like a decent deal to me.

 

More like: $17.26 + $5.95 shipping = $23.21

...and no return policy. hope all goes well.

 

nice coin, any time you can get an ASE for that price its a great deal and especially a certified coin, nice!!

 

I have paypal 100% return policy, so I don't know how I can lose on this one?

 

NGC Certified but not graded! It's just a bullion ASE in a slab with a label that doesn't mean much. Hope it's real as there's no return policy.

For comparison, you can currently [safely] buy 2006 BU ASEs from Apmex.com for 19.98 (not including s/h).

 

yes it's real I went to NGC to verify cert and typed in that number, it is a NGC certified coin, i was curious myself, I think you got a good deal If your happy with the purchase thats all that matters.

 

Thanks for checking ponderrossa.
biggiej: make sure you receive the coin pictured with that cert number too.

 

My dealer sells me my ASE's for $1.50 over spot silver,mixed dates. But I hope you complete a good deal.

 

The seller is using first class mail, which will not cost him anywhere near $5.95, so he's building in a little profit that way.

I have to pay sales tax on coins purchased locally, so I guess they get you either way.

 

Yeah. Often, these are from bulk submissions. Any coin that meets a specific grade or higher (MS69 a lot of the time) is graded and slabbed and the others are just slabbed as BU. I have an NGC slabbed BU AGE in my collection.

While I do agree that the shipping costs are a little high, you have to remember it's not just postage that is part of the cost. You must also pay for the padded envelope as well as time.

 

for 6$ he should be sending it priority mail.
for a 1 ounce coin First Class it should only come out to 2.50 or so (including envelope). Heck, charging 3.50 would net him a profit.
Oh well, I just hate when people do that.

Anyway, looks like a pretty good deal for the price

 

The shipping made this not a great deal. Sorry, it's just a ASE at regular price.

 

I'm pretty sure NGC does gradeless certifications of bullion coinage to authenticate the coins while still keeping them eligible for IRA investments. If a bullion coin is slabbed AND graded, it is deemed a "collectible" coin and, thus, cannot be used in an IRA investment plan....

 

all i asked was did i not do okay, why does it have to go off in all directions. i could have saved myself the grief. " Don't buy anything from ebay it is fake and you will lose your butt!!!!!:crying:

 

you did good, you got a silver eagle in certified grade for less than you could buy a silver eagle and send it to NGC. ebay has some good stuff you just have to do some research.

 

I think you did fine. You might have been able to pick it up a couple dollars cheaper (with shipping factored in) had you shopped around a bit more...but only a couple dollars. So, I'd say you did fine.

 

Inflated shipping rates

I hate sellers that pad their profit margin with inflated shipping rates. Hope it works out for you, though.
