<p>[QUOTE="ProofRon, post: 144238, member: 5170"]I don't know how many of you noticed the Universal Coin & Bullion ad for "Free $40 value for 2 NGC Certified Gem Brilliant 2006 Silver Eagle "First Strikes" ad in the front of the 2007 Red Book, but I read on another forum where someone wrote that it actually worked. So I called the number and requested the free coins (dumb, huh?) . </p><p>So I was told that the ad had expired- let's see- how long has the 2007 Red Book been out?. Anyway, they said that I could have one free coin, and I ordered another 2 coins (at $12.90 each- just to be fair about it). So when I received the order, sure enough, I got 3 coins, but was charged $12.90 for each, plus $10 shipping- so, $48.70 for 3 overgraded coins. Plus, I had to listen to a long sales pitch about various investment opportunities. I know, if it sounds too good, etc.</p><p>But this is one of the reasons I dropped out of the non-mint coin market several years ago.
