Looks like $49.95 each slab.. Rip-off! They are not even genuine TPG slabs. They just stuck the coins into their own with a fancy label.
No $50 for each. They make no claim as to what the grades will be so you will probably get average circ coins. It isn't a complete set, just a 1 per year (The box will hold 25 coins and there are 25 years in the walking liberty series so you will get the most common from each year. As mentioned they appear to be Coin World slab shells. You notice they start with the coins at the END of the series, the most common ones. And you can cancel at any time, they are HOPING you get fed up and quit before they have to send you a 1921. I bet that would the the last coin in the set that you get. OH and they will send them about one each month or two AS THEY BECOME AVAILABLE. How much you want to bet if you stick to it and they get down to the last couple the 16 and 21, those will take along time "because they just aren't available at the moment". Those are the only ones that actually cost more than the $50 payment. Yeah it's for real, and a good deal for them
The Bradford Exchange has to do something to stay on business. The plate market was a huge money maker for them but that market is gone. You can't sell a Bradford plate for $5.00 in today's market. If other companies can make good money on coins why can't Bradford? I'd never buy from them. Overpriced and over graded coins.
Not a good idea. You can't unload Bradford stuff once you have it. You will never get your money back. Plus, how do you get 100 years of coins from a 31 year run?
