Wow. Thought I would never ever buy from Apmex due to the higher prices there. However, today I guess the stars lined up perfectly. Not only are they selling the 2014 ATB coin for the cheapest I can find on the internet ($123 1-9oz) but today only they have free shipping! HA, they beat JMBullion (For today only). The sad part is somehow I paid $137 per ATB coin just a few days ago :( Yes, I lost in the $1 dollar drop in silver but I only did it because I figured that maybe this coin will go past $200 dollars in the future & I didn't think silver was about to decline). Anyways this is my first and probably last purchase from Apmex. Usually all there prices +shipping makes it not worth it for me to buy from them. The coins are already costing more than JMB but then $8+ dollar shipping.... :mad:


Which ATB coin do you think will do good this year? I was born in TN & live here so this is my state coin. :D
 
Ever considered buying from their online ebay store? It's free shipping there.
 
Do you know what you are doing? Looks like your process needs some discipline ...

Been visiting the great Smoky mountains for many years, And i think this is the most beautiful coin of the series so far. You have everything in this coin to represent the great Smokies, as well as the volunteer state.

No, they still make you pay for shipping on eBay. The eBay prices vs. site prices are different. On eBay they cost more because they factored in shipping without you knowing. JmBullion is still the cheapest place to get gold/silver. The shipping is actually free and they have the lowest price of all dealers. I mean yes there are some dealers that have the JMBullion low prices but once you add shipping there's no competetion. Like Provident's has low prices like JMB but $5 dollar shipping.

Example:

Apmex Site Price:

2014 1 oz Silver Canadian Maple Leaf Coin - $23.93 + Shipping
2014 1 oz Silver Canadian Maple Leaf - Horse Privy - $27.40 + Shipping
2014 1 Kilo Silver Australian Perth Mint Lunar Year of the Horse Coin - $712.45 + Shipping

Ebay Apmex:

2014 1 oz Silver Canadian Maple Leaf Coin - $28.48 - Free Shipping
2014 1 oz Silver Canadian Maple Leaf - Horse Privy - $32.59 - Free Shipping
2014 1 Kilo Silver Australian Perth Mint Lunar Year of the Horse Coin - $761.63 - Free Shipping

JMBullion Price :

2014 1 oz Silver Canadian Maple Leaf Coin - $23.39 - Free Shipping
2014 1 oz Silver Canadian Maple Leaf - Horse Privy - $26.85 - Free Shipping
2014 1 Kilo Silver Australian Perth Mint Lunar Year of the Horse Coin - $718.79 - Free Shipping
 
Couldn't pass up the Apmex free shipping and silver dip yesterday afternoon. It's a buyers market.

JMBullion does have great pricing. Their only drawback is the limited selection.

My favorite ATB is Puerto Rico. Love the parrot & frog.
 
I have found Provident to be cheaper prices, and they have a number of ways to get free shipping too.

Yeah but,... They usually raise their prices on eBay. The same item is cheaper on the actual website by about the amount of shipping...usually.

They have a category called "Free Shipping" under Bullion/Miscellaneous. If you buy any item from that category, the entire order ships free.
 
Yep I use it all the time.
I just placed an order last night and bought a 2012 Silver Kola (UGLY!!!) so the whole order ships free :)

The way I look at it is like this...
Shipping is $5.95 normally.
The 2012 Kola is currently $26.52 for one of them.

So subtract the $5.95 it saved me and
I got free shipping on the whole order and basically got the UGLY kola for
$26.52 - $5.95 = $20.57 and Spot is $20.04 USD right now.

So the way I look at it I got silver for almost spot and free shipping on my whole order :)
