Ok, you have to pay face value for the coins, but they are BU, sold at face, in mint rolls, and shipped on the Mint's dime. Save a few, spend a few, sell a few on ebay, whatever.

If you have a credit card that gives you cash back, points or miles you get the credit card reward free without really spending anything net.

This could also act like a short term interest free loan on your credit card if you time it just right. Just order these coins up, haul them down to the bank and deposit them, (or spend them) and wait to pay off the credit card a couple weeks later.

Or you could spend $35.95+ shipping to buy a $25 face collector roll off the same machine. Pretty sure the only differance is the wrapping paper.

I noticed that the site suggests it will charge you $4.95 for standard shipping when you confirm the order, but when you go to pay it adjusts back to zero cost.

Pity its only U.S addresses! Thanks for the info, very cool :signs021:

One could always open a US account and have your deposit shipped direct to your bank LOL! Kind of defeats the collector opprotunity though. Got a friend or relation in the US you trust to receive and deal with a few hundred bucks for you?

I know no one there. Still AMPEX seem to sell a lot of recent coins in mont boxes at reasonable prices. I'm not sure id the ship overseas, but I would imagine they do.
