Aren't you allowed to ship more than $100 if they are 'collectibles'?

Not that I've tried, but I believe I saw this as a loop hole to the $5 limit you can have on you when you travel out of the US.

Their prices are basically set to under sell not only any large west coast players, but basically every small timer on RC.
A ton of copper pennies at 1.49 x face (not sure about shipping).
Very interesting.

Where do you see 1.49x for copper cents?

If you go here: http://coincollectingenterprises.com/copper-penny-sale

they are selling 1 ton (~$2932.00 of CU cents) at $4280 ( but you need to buy at least 2 tons...)

Still the ratio is around 1.5 x face.

Ok, that's higher than sellers here are often at. $145/ctu or less is often found.

Thanks though.
