Complete silver eagle set for 29.99

Options

I see a lot of ads on Facebook advertising a set of 44 silver eagles for 29.99. I also see individual silver eagles advertised for 9.99 each. The ad says they were graded by NGC. Question is has anyone bought these advertised coins. If you did how did it turn out. Was there a catch. It just seems to me if it sounds too good there has to be a catch.

    I wouldn’t buy anything off Facebook. No way!

    It sounds like a scam - likely counterfeits - so I wouldn’t buy them off of any website, Facebook or otherwise.

    It's generally safe to assume anything being offered at a too good to be true price like that is either fake or a scam.

    I guarantee they are fake. Typical Facebook scam ad, I thought they cracked down on those.

    Does it? Does it REALLY seem to be too good to be true? Do you REALLY think someone might not be selling 44 ounces of silver for $29.99?

    Only one way to find out. Why don't you do it and let us know how it works out? Do you REALLY need to ask this? REALLY?

    The reason I asked this question is I was wondering if it was a way for the seller to get you on a subscription. Like an Introductory offer and then they send you coins every month. I’m not thinking it was a straight trade of my 30 dollars for 44 se.

    29.99 for a $40 loss on one. then what? i'll tell you what, most would cancel after the first.

    not a Christmas present for the masses. fwiw, the bullion dealers occaisionally have loss leader sales. they offer an ounce of silver at spot, and not $35 under
