On those two offerings which is a better deal the MS63 or the BU?
Both coins have $1440 in gold content.
One must decide if it's worth another $40 to have the coin authenticated. On a $1400+ coin I say yes. Certification will come in handy upon resell. Without it potential buyers will be much more likely to wonder if it's authentic.

I agree with what DerryB says below, with 1 caveat....
If you are selling to a competent dealer, who can identify authentic vs not, then a slabbed MS63 may only be valued around the same price as a raw one.
I know this is pretty much true with a local dealer. He actually does back it up by selling any MS63 (PCGS or NGC) common $20 pieces for about the same price he sells the raw ones for. So, for him, the difference in $40 wouldn't be recouped if you were to sell to him.
@Jinx86, Would you agree for your store? If not, what is the difference you guys use for raw vs MS63 slabbed (PCGS/NGC)?

phone is a PITA for old guys like me. I save to my "watch list" on the desktop then go to the phone to make the purchase from the watch list and then back to the desktop to pay with PP.

I've been throwing money around but nothing is sticking.
Other people spending more in the end for what I find.
I managed to pick up 2 grams of smaller Alaskan gold nuggets ironically from California for a slight bit under spot for 20 karat gold and got 5% back with discover card.
Haven't even considered the cash back option with a CC. Got to look into that.

All I know is that app is garbage. I try to find on computer then try to navigate and find on the app. Any real "DEAL" is long gone by the time I finally get there.
Figures, just finished unloading my ebay bucks on a account yesterday and that's the one that receives todays bonus offer. Other account still has bucks to spend but no bonus offer. #RealWorldProblems lol
Unless you live in California which will then get $150 in tax tacked onto it and so the total price is like $1600. But if the coin costed $30 more in sale price, then there would be no tax tacked on.

Frustrating.
So is ebay now honoring the state's "special" exemption rules? I thought they were throwing the blanket tax on everything and leaving it up to the buyer to fight with the state for a tax refund.

It looks much better now in terms of collecting where they should and not collecting where they should not. I'm not going to claim it's perfect, but I think it's much better.
Thank you @MsMorrisine ! Can grab one of these for 6.71% UNDER melt with the $100 max eBay Bucks and CC 5% cash back on PayPal purchases (rotating category).

Still no tax here on numis, bullion, clothing or food. God bless the commonwealth. Semper Fi.

Received the offer!
in the past few quarters,,,, has there ever been two bucks offerings in the first month?
It's only 6 days before the current bucks on account expire. I am spent out, but am still hoping for another one before then.
Hope? You're sounding like the FED.
