<p>[QUOTE="TheMont, post: 2503409, member: 80121"]If you can buy a coin(s) directly from the mint, then that is the way to go. The only exception I could imagine was if a person didn't know how to send in a coin for grading or didn't want the bother. There are also people who don't get their coins graded, then buying from the mint is the way to go. I got the 2015 High Relief gold coin from the mint and I'm keeping it in the OGP.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was not able to get the silver Liberty metal from the mint, had trouble signing in and they sold out in 5 minutes. I guess, unless the price in the aftermarket drops dramatically, I will not buy one there. I got an e-mail from Coin Vault and they were selling the West Point and San Francisco metals, in MS70 for "only" $699. Gee and the mint was only charging $34.95 each. I believe in Capitalism, but $699 for what the mint charged $69.90? No wonder some people think that prices for modern coins/metals are going crazy from some of these sellers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
