OK, I just checked both Provident and APMEX (thanks for Provident link, Krispy) and both are "anticipating" being able to ship on 5/7/2010. I don't think that will happen and will guess that they will both change the date on their websites on Friday. I will take a guess and set the new "anticipated" shipping date for Wednesday 5/12/2010. So what do you think under, will "anticipate shipping" will be listed before 5/12/2010 or over after 5/12/2010... I'm taking the over, and this is a gentlemans bet, so no prizes or monetary payoff is available. (simply put, it's a game)
Also there's the forthcoming Proof AGB: The US Mint to release 2010 AGB on June 3rd 2010 Gold Buffalo Proof Coins on Sale June 3 from CoinUpdate [5/5/10]
PeacePeople, Ive got a few on order myself with Provident, and I SURE HOPE they make it out as promised. If I had to bet on it, I would have my money on Provident getting them out on time. They haven't missed one for me yet. I guess we'll see tomorrow.
I'm doing the same as last year: one proff & one NGC MS70. I've been buying my gold coins from moderncoinmart should I check out provident?
Check out how their shipping differs but Provident are bullion dealers with some numismatic coins. MCM is definitely a good dealer for what you have probably been used to from them. I've used MCM and quite like them. I just made my first bullion order with Provident and am so far impressed, awaiting my order to arrive, but they seem very quick and customer oriented. :thumb:
PeacePeople, Looks like Provident came through for me! WooHoo! I should have em in my hand on Tuesday! Krispy, You hit it right on the head... Great Prices and Customer Service and quick to ship as well. I also agree with you on on MCM... Midas, I price them out with Provident for my numismatic stuff... and use provident for all my bullion. Hope that helps Midas.
