Great set at a great price

Postby nero12345 » Sat Jan 14, 2012 8:05 pm

For every Canadian, this is one of those great deals by the mint. 12 quarters in a holder, no tax, free shipping for $3. limit of three per household. Even if you don't like them, spend them for what they r worth. I try not to miss any of these deals like the $20 silver coin for $20 with the canoe and the boy/native fella. Just checked and they aren't sold out yet

I just had to try it, and see what they would do for a US address. No dice. Cool set though. I could use three of them...

I picked up some of these. I love these deals. It's not very often where us Canadians get a nice deal.

"Not very often" is a whole lot more often than USmericans get deals from our price gouging coin peddler mint.

Well the Canadian Mint aren't Saints either, they also gouge pretty good on pretty much everything else. They do throw some bones every once and awhile. Lol.
