    Save your money and buy a Kookaburra instead.
    Jamie Dimon will thank you for it.

    My dad also received a catalogue from M Mint and he fell into the trap of feeling like winning a jackpot....I explained to him that this coin does not worth as much as he thinks and our entire family somehow is so against him spending this "$10".

    Just finding it funny about why we have such big reaction and so against him spending this "$10" bucks, I bought craps with $10 too and actually, he doesn't need our approval anyway...=D

    And they charge 8 shipping, and limited ONE per household. so 18 dollar for 5 grams of silver (10 grams of 0.5 silver content).

    LOL. who in their right mind will take this offer? :)

    I can't help but notice they avoid mentioning how much silver is contained within one of these. Instantly dismissed.

    You can fool some of the people all of the time,
    and all of the people some of the time,
    but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.
