<p>[QUOTE="treehugger, post: 1312862, member: 28451"]I don't buy on the offering anymore because if you are willing to wait a few weeks, you can get the same coin in an NGC 69-grade for even less than the offer price. Modern Coin Mart was selling some over the weekend; I purchased a Grand Canyon NGC-69 for $199.00 and a Mount Hood 2010-P NGC SP-69 for $209.00. A couple of weeks ago, I found a Glacier 2011-P NGC SP-69 for $227.00. </p><p><br /></p><p>For me, it doesn't make sense to buy on the offering anymore, as the demand is so weak. If I purchase a decent quality graded coin, I can be pretty sure it will be problem-free, whereas ordering directly from the Mint, you never know what you are going to get. Plus, a lot of coins on ebay or from some dealers already include shipping. In these low demand situations, patience is very often rewarded.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
