Danbury Mint/PCS Stamps and Coins $20 gold promotion

It looks like they are offering a $20 Saint and $20 Liberty in uncertified cases. A special wooden display case included for no additional charge with an enclosed key for security. Only $2989 each coin plus $9 shipping charge, payable in two installments of $1499 each. Pricing is subject to unusual market conditions. Due to the age and scarcity they have only been able to assemble a limited number of these sets.

Buy it if you want it. Pass if you don't.

I hate these threads.

I don't get the point of them. Just about everything is priced differently depending on where you buy. Doesn't everybody already know this?

And we all know the print ads and TV ads raise the price considerably.

I actually could have used educational overviews years ago when I was getting into the hobby and saw glossy and slick brochures from Blanchard and Jefferson. They had well done brochures on 12 piece sets, old European gold coins, etc., pricing was high, sales involved pressure at times which I resisted. It's a tough learning curve in the hobby to understand value, quality and rarity.

I love how the illustrations show pristine MS69 coins, and then you most assuredly will get a beat-up POS worth melt. So you are paying roughly $1,000 for the fancy box.

I pass on these bait offers... Never a bargain. Cheers, RickO
