<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Good Cents, post: 3915863, member: 100720&quot;]I REALLY liked Provident Metals. But they were bought by JM Bullion a couple of months ago. And although I reserved judgment at first and wanted to give them a chance to see what JM Bullion would do with Provident, unfortunately and much to my disappointment Provident Metals has proven to be just an extension of JM Bullion - boooooooring.</p><p><br /></p><p>Provident had someone with a lot of creativity doing their marketing emails. They would send a fun, new email every day with great GIFs and fun text describing their sales. Every day something new would be added to what was on sale for that week and it held my interest between the fun emails and the daily items on sale. And it wasn&#039;t boring items on sale either. There would be some really good, popular things on sale every few weeks with a large variety of sale items. The sales would range from favorite rounds and bars, to popular coins, Junk Silver, Historic Gold, Eagles, Half Eagles and Double Eagles. There would even be sales on Copper Rounds which I like giving out to the kids at extended family get-togethers. Provident was a good, small company with quality products, good year-round pricing, good sales, good customer service and a great marketing department all wrapped up in one really great company.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, the Provident prices are about 10-cents less than JM Bullion for a 1 ounce gold coin which is a negligible difference. Booooring sales. Nothing interesting. Nothing popular ever on sale. Never any of the fun items on sale. And no creative emails with fun tag lines and entertaining GIFs.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, this is my Farewell Ode to Provident Metals.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bye Bye to the Provident Metals I knew and loved. It was great while it lasted and I, for one, will miss you a lot. {sniffle, sniffle}[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
