John,

I'm looking for a one ounce American Eagle gold proof coin. I was able
to get the once ounce platinum coin from the US Mint but they have sold
out the gold coins. What was the name of that dealer that you used for
the gold coins for your family? If you aren't the correct poster, sorry!

Thanks,
Earl

That is a beautiful coin and presentation. Might make a great Christmas present for the daughters
this year. That site has a nice product description also. If you have questions, call them. They are
very easy to work with.
Thanks! I got an email today that the 2014's are going to be released
next week so I'll compare prices.

The US Mint just released their first curved coins to commemorate the
baseball hall of fame. It bought a $5 proof gold coin and two proof
silver dollars for my nephews. They are huge baseball fans.
Send me a link to the US Mint site when you get your email. Be interesting to compare prices.

So, it looks like the US Mint adds from $310 to $360 to whatever the spot price happens to be. CNI
is adding $330. So it's possible to save a bit or spend a bit more. When you buy from the Mint, do
you make the deal over the phone and get a price good for the time it takes your payment to reach
them? How does that work?
It's all online and very simple. What I don't understand is that when I
bought my platinum eagle they sent it via UPS and they had a free
shopping bag promo that they also sent UPS in a separate box - both 2nd
day. WTF? The US government isn't supporting the USPS?
Trust? Signature requirement? Don't know. I know there was a signature requirement on the package I
got from CNI.
There is a signature required. The USPS is capable of that.
Then you got me. I don't know.
It might have something to do with the insurance
The government is self-insured. We're talking about less than $2000 -
not an original Picasso!

It's just sad that the US government finds UPS to be a better option
than the USPS.
