I recenty went to the store and bought the new magazine of CoinValues, on the front it had a sticker that said "Free nickel inside.". I thought it was just one of those stupid mail-in orders to get the new nickel, because I was looking for one. Sure enough, Inside there was one of the new 2004 nickels. I thought it would come in a holder or some type of protection, it was inside an envolope, and surprising when I opened the envolope the nickel slide right out; it wasn't in any protective holder.
Of course, there's a catch. Enclosed in the package where the nickel was there was also a mail-in order card saying that if you mail it in they will send you a "Free" "Coin World Premier Nickel Holder."
On the front of the mail in card it says CoinValues, PO Box 747 Sidney OH 45365-0747
On the back it says:
(Check box) YES, please send me a free coin World Premier nickel holder.

I went to the Amos website: www.amosadvantage.com.
And sure enough, they're SELLING them. They're pretty expensive too, about $6 for a 1/10 oz gold eagle case. They say they're inert and you can insert and remove your coin in it and that it's airtight. I'm going to send in the mail-in card if everyone here thinks its worth while.
What's your opinion on it?
Also if this isn't the appropriate place to post this message ( I know this is in the world coins folder) I'll delete it and post it in the US forums. It's just the US forums post way to much to get any worthwhile reponses.
Thanks

<< <i>You could keep it in your pocket with the rest of your change. That would probably be simplest
I could but I've asked everywhere including banks, and stores if they have just one of these nickels and none of them have any and most of them don't even know about the new ones. That's why I bought the magazine because it actually had one of the new nickels in it. I'm wanting to use the mail in thing to get a holder for it because I'm not sure if my holders I bought in the coin store in '97 are free of PVC.
I use the coinworld holders for some coins because they fit in the storage boxes I use.
The premier ones are the same size as a pcgs slab. The non premier are same size as anacs slabs.
