[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2404249, member: 15929"]There was a thread, on these very forums, guarantteeing a certain price for each dime ordered on behalf of the poster. That thread has been removed but it is not an uncommon occurrance. It goes like this: I solicite you to order 10 coins for me at which point I agree to pay you x amount of dollars over and above the US Mint release price AND agree to send you a shipping label once the coins you ordered for me arrive. Once you order the coins, you send me your order number. I ask you to notify me when the coins arrive so that I can forward a shipping label to you. You mail me the coins and then I send you a check for the agreed upon price after I receive the coins. If I can get 10 folks to buy into this, I'll have 110 coins presuming I've ordered my 10. It's quite simple to game the US Mint rules BUT you must have enough capital to cover any potential losses. Meaning, you must have buyers lined up or at the very minimum, a dependable customer base. Heritage Auctions used to send out these solicitations, via email, to their customers. Modern Coin Mart used to do the exact same thing.[/QUOTE]
