<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 516744, member: 8033&quot;]When I DID still buy mint products I found it cheaper to buy from my local dealer unless I was buying a lot - which I wasn&#039;t.</p><p>How could that be? He orders in bulk as a dealer and the shipping is the same if you buy one or one hundred. He&#039;d sell to me at $1.00 over mint issue price. Had I got it from the mint I would pay mint cost PLUS the shipping.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for &quot;first strike&quot; mumbo jumbo it&#039;s a joke to me honestly. Can most people here really tell the difference between a 69 and a 70 unless it says so on the slab?</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I&#039;ll admit I DID just order the High Relief from the mint. I have no real desire for it nor can I really afford it right now but the limit is ONE per customer. Guess what the boss wants more than one so I ordered one for him. He&#039;s already paid me for it plus a nice little bonus for doing so.</p><p>When it arrives I will not open it. I will take it to work where we send it in for slabbing in hopes of the illustrious 70 grade and first strike. Then he can sell it for stupid money as I call it.</p><p><br /></p><p>It WILL be a hot coin I feel but like so many others will level out and probably drop as soon as the &quot;I gotta have a 70&quot; crowd is done. At a $300 premium from the mint I can see it going for under that in the future depending on the price of gold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
