Been participating since it's inception. Best score was the 2009 Native American coin. I have $750 tucked away. They are selling for $4.00/coin. I'll wait and unload them in 20 years.

Records indicate that not always by buying from the mint a profit will come

The only regret a I have is not having purchase the Silver American Eagle Reverse Proof from the mint

The Sacagewa (sp) has officially ended. The new Native American coin still carries the likeness of Sacagewa on the obverse, but the reverse will have a new design each year. This year it depicts a female planting in the "Three Sisters" method. Also the mint mark/year has been moved to the edge. The Presedential Coin Act prescribes that 10% of the total mintage of coins minted that year must be of the Native American type. Consequently, they will be of limited mintage. In the Numismatic News, the Native American coins are selling for $3.85/each.

The reverse proof is very sexy. One of my favorite coins. I bought 3 of the sets when they were first issued (2006). 1 is still in the mint box wrapped in plastic. She will go for sale in exactly 20 years.

By the way, the mint pays for shipping. You pay face value. You don't have a choice with regards to mint mark.
Since when does the mint do anything that does not make them a huge profit?

Are you sure you get $250 for $250?

I see where they say they pay the shipping. But, they do not directly say 250 for 250 they word it strange but show a picture of $250

I don't really trust the mint anyway, besides their quality is K-RAP >:(
(compared with real silver coins :thumbsup: )

cyber dan - it's legit. I've ordered all the Presidents (except Monroe). The box arrives via UPS a couple of days after it leaves the mint. Put the order on a credit card that gives cash back and you actually come out ahead on the deal.
The mint says they are doing this program to get the coins into circulation. Keep in mind these are listed as circulated coins.

The coins are intended for circulation, but every roll that I've received has been direct from the mint's warehouse. I get 500 - 750 of each type. By using my Discover card, I've really padded my rewards. I then redeem the rewards for restaurants where they allow you to get a $40 giftcard for only $35 in rewards.

The law requires that at least 20 percent of all such $1 coins minted and issued in any year be Native American $1 Coins.

But still a good deal. Too bad you can't choose which mint you want them from though................
