*Post Here*: 2011 Vicksburg America the Beautiful 5 oz Silver

Ordered from Provident for under $200, to be shipped 6/30.
Are you going to get any? Your supplier of choice? Why them?
I like Provident because they take Credit Cards. They send the pucks in Air-Tites with no special packaging charge like some other unnamed AP's and dealers. Their communications can't be beat keeping me informed from order acknowledgement through shipping notification, without having to ask for an update. The condition shows care is taken with no dings, scuffs, fingerprints or spotting.

    I bought gettys from gainsville but think Provident may be a tick better because of the reasons you listed. I still haven't looked for the line image

    As I remember, it was suspected Gainsville had a relationship with one of the "bad boy" AP's. I'll be looking for the line to be there just like the previous 3 2011's. The question will be how faint or prominent it will be. After seeing that Mint video, I thought I could understand how the line happens. But why not on the 2010's? Hmmm, curious.

    Jaguars: Yes, it is a real nice design. Why did you pick APMEX? Random choice or are you an existing customer? Not to impose my opinion on you or poison your opinion of APMEX, but I will not do business with APMEX who were caught in a lie by self admission concerning their slabbing and distribution of 2010 pucks. A company that shows such contempt for their customers by obviously lying and treating us (customers) as easily manipulated and stupid when telling the truth would have ended the controversy simply. If your going to lie, at least have enough respect for your customers to make it a believable lie. APMEX didn't even try. Sorry for the rant but APMEX disgusts me by their actions, proven fact, not supposition or speculation.

    CCC2010: Provident is just a dealer, not an AP. Have you ordered one or more or are you going to?

    Well, I guess I was a bit mercenary but they had a good price plus originally was just shopping for a 2011 Britannia unc. and they seemed to have the best price...
    So threw in a Vicksburg and an Olympic for good measure. Hope they at least look a bit decent and not beat to death...


    You are right though, they did do some treacherous stuff & proly could pick some other words...

    I just checked Provident for the Britannias, nice looking, I added to my wish list to order with the next puck. Their price is currently a little lower than APMEX too. Hey, you got what you were looking for with one stop. Did they charge extra for Air-Tites for the pucks?
    It's just when a company lies, more than once, when the truth would have shut all the questioners up, it shows a basic unscrupulous underhanded mind set I'd rather not do business with. How could I ever trust them ?

    Yea, they come in a capsule from apmex if fewer than ten ordered. Their price is still 195.00

    I must say I can not approve of their apparent handling of pucks earlier but they did hook me up about two years ago on plats after the prices came down...

    I like this issue as well. I used to spend a lot of $$$$ with APMEX but no more, and it probably hurts me more than them. I really liked those guys. Thought they were straight shooters. Really disappointing.

    This is such a fantastic design. I'll buy a bullion and a P version of this one just because I really like it.

    I will buy the PCGS 69 DPML if they hold in the $380 range. Hopefully these will drop like the ASE premiums, but only if there are large submissions by dealers. If not who knows... I will not collect these raw.
