    I doubt there's any profit for the dealer in those numbers.

    There is when he only gets charged 63 cents to mail it. That's the scam.

    It does mention insurance. So you have 1.30 insurance, plus 50 cents for a bubble mailer, plus the hassle of going to the post office, and writing the stuff out. I venture to guess the guy only makes a dollar max. Which I guess if you do in large numbers can be profitable.

    What if you ordered 10000 of them?

    Cost 9,900.00 + Shipping. Might come out a few dollars ahead that way...

    No California sales tax on numismatic purchases of $1,000 or more, so there's more savings for the big spender.:D

    Is there any guaranty that it will be of better quality then one you might find in a slot machine?
    I think no.
