I've only purchased gold coins from the US Mint store. A few proofs and
some platinum, too. You might want to compare prices at least for US coins.

Get on their email list so you know what they a releasing next.

I bought a few proof $1 silver baseball coins that doubled in value if
the boys leave them unopened!

http://www.usmint.gov/batterup/?action=curvedcoin

I bought a $5 gold proof for myself for the safe. It has doubled in
value as well so if you grab the unique coins you can do better than the
bullion coins. They will show the mintage limit and some are small
enough to see a quicker return. They start selling at noon eastern on
the release date and some do sell out in hours.

Looking at the proof 1oz American Buffalo, JM Bullion, with free shipping, is about $5 cheaper than
the US Mint. And JM Bullion provides a nice little box!

I have a 2015 American Buffalo and it's a beautiful coin. Proofs are
worth the extra money!

They are buying in bulk. If you pay by wire or check then JM is
cheaper. The US Mint is $1590 + $4.95 shipping (2nd day air) with a
credit card. The box they show is from the US Mint which they also
include and the quality is very nice. For the $5 you will have a
receipt from the US Mint which may improve the resale value (by at least
that much) if you ever sell the coin.

If you didn't catch that, the US Mint ships via UPS rather than the
USPS. Pretty sad.

Are these gifts? If not, why aren't you buying that Mini-14?!

You reckon that's because of the APWU?

These are gifts. Trying to force some savings onto the kids.

Thanks for the info though.

I would expect the US Mint to use the USPS. Not sure why. UPS is
union, too but must be more reliable.

I'm back again. I'm looking at the 2016 American Eagle in Uncirculated. JM Bullion is asking $1,312.49, check payment, versus the US Mint asking $1,525.00. The package is nicer, but is it $212 nicer?

http://catalog.usmint.gov/american-e...navid=xsellpdp

http://www.jmbullion.com/2016-1-oz-american-gold-eagle/

You're right about the proofs being nice. The kids, and wife, got American Buffalo proofs year before last. Last year it was Chinese Pandas. This year each are getting bars with their Lunar Calendar animal thereon. Here's the 'Year of the Snake' bar: http://www.jmbullion.com/1-oz-pamp-s...nake-gold-bar/

Maybe I'll add the Ruger Mark III Hunter to my Christmas list.

Called the US Mint. Was told that the $212 also got me a 'mint mark' which, as I see, is not on the
coins sold by JM Bullion. As I don't think the kids will ever be 'collectors', the mint mark doesn't
do much good.
