2006 Silver Eagles - 'Coin Vault' TV SHOW

I see 'Coin Vault' the television show is offering 20 - 2006 Eagles, right in the green little box, unopened for $299.95 with free shipping. That's about $15/Eagle that are probably mostly in MS 67 or better I would imagine right? For the most part? Is this a good deal? I really stick mostly to pennies and nickels, but this one has caught my eye - it seems like a decent deal. Any feedback would be welcome. What is the opinion of the show 'Coin Vault' are their prices too high? Are they reputable?

Thanks - Esky

BTW - Don't confuse Coin Vault the TV comedy with www.coinvault.com, the website of Clark Smith, a very reputable seller of gold coins.

 

My dealer said that he would have the 2006 ASE in today....I think they are $11-$12 each now with silver where it is.

I wouldn't even let my enemy pay that kind of price, surely not a Coin Talk person.

 

Ah - It's a good thing I asked Thanks for the info.

It's very big of them to guarentee the coins at ms67 or better. how many ASE,s have you ever seen fresh from the mint in 66 or less, and the even say they never look in the rolls.

 

Speedy old buddy, you should be able to beat these prices by at least $2 to $3 dollars from any number of places. However, if you are only buying one, the postage will more than make up the difference in price, so keep that in mind.

 

See "mintproducts.com"....$11.19 per coin or $218.80 per roll. Reasonable shipping....why pay more?

 

Well not around here...he is the only good dealer about that deals in "Collector Coins".
For my set I'll be getting a NGC MS69 as I have for the last few years....but your right....I could beat it but I guess a bird in hand is worth 2 in a bush.

Speedy

 

EEKKK stay away from them (except for comedy purposes).

 

Just ordered my yearly supply of ASE today and was able to purchase them for $9.85 including shipping and insurance. So I guess you were at least partially right when you said they had gone up in price. As you are aware, I don't require that any of mine are slabbed when I buy. If one happens to be outstanding when I get them, it might be slabbed just in case I decide to trade it off for something better. Good luck on finding the one you want.:thumb:

 

Well for my set it isn't required....but my book only goes to 2003 so since then all of then are in slabs
I still haven't completed it yet...and am still working on the book I want to write about ASE....
The only ASE I've ever slabbed were errors...

Speedy

 

I think I'll wait until the price of silver drops a little... Buy Low, Sell High!

 

I bought mine at mintproducts.com for 11.04 each and didn't have to pay for shipping.

 

I watched CoinVault yesterday too (Sad though ). While watching a month back, they were slow in selling 5 Walking liberties for like $550, and said that once a coin design is cancelled, it can never be remade by the mint. Is this true; if so, why?

On the screen, to the side, it has the info about the [overpriced] product, and it always says,
"BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
MS 67 or BETTER"

Which is it?! Why wouldn't a mint sealed 2005 Sacagawea be brilliant UNC?

 

With the notable exception of the current American Silver Eagle series, which uses the 1916-47 obverse design of the discontinued Walking Liberty halves, the Mint has not in fact reused discontinued designs, but generally there is nothing in the law to prevent them from doing so if the Secretary of the Treasury so chooses. The exception might be the small number of instances where Congress has directed the Mint to use a particular design, and then stop producing it at a specified time. Legally speaking, it is unclear whether subsequent use of that same design without further Congressional approval would be permitted. Just one more bit of misinformation from the Vault.

The "BU" designation is, as you point out, like saying that it's wet outside during a rain storm. The "MS 67 or BETTER" is still another bit of misinformation. Every coin is, by definition, at least MS60 when it leaves the mint. Most are significantly higher, but grading MS61 or better is absolutely NOT a requirement that a coin must meet to get out the door.

 

There is also the American Gold Liberty and the Bufalo Nickle (off the top of my head)

I would have used the Buffalo as an Example, but the obverse is different, and minute difference in the reverse.
