If you don't get the APMEX e-mail you can't participate. I just got off the phone with Jeff at APMEX.

It wouldn't let finish checkout. It said I was not drawn to be a costumer. It needs a promo code......which I have tried 30 different guesses at. :oops:

Man this is the best deal yet. I am goin to keep trying. Any advice feel free to put it out there.

I agree, fill FB with comments on how this is a fuking gustopo move by APMEX. So what is the cutoff of getting a validation code? $100k a year spent with them?

they were on the website for weeks but showed out of stock. you could sign up to be alerted once inventory was in, so im guessing you had to sign up for the alert to be on their "list"

if there is an alert now or again later i would hit it.

This is even though I purchased $10K of silver last year from them.

I called and they won't sell to me either

I like APMEX but sometimes I don't think they handle things in the best way.

Not sure if you guys remember several years ago they were selling Silver Eagles at melt (and I think free shipping???) and their website got so overwhelmed that it crashed.

I tried to finish my order but it locked up; by the time I called in, they were sold out and they gave me Canadian Maple leaf one ounces at melt as a consolation.

i found this on another forum, dont know if the numbers are real but they did start with 3100, i know for sure.



18,000 people signed up months ago. Of the 18,000 only 3,500 will receive notification...and they can only order 1 set for approx. $970 including shipping costs. So at this time, they are under spot!

Of the 3,500 selected to receive notification, only 3,100 will be able to order because they are first come first serve.

They are slabbed, PCGS BU or Better First Strike

From APMEX:

Therefore, in order to be fair to all customers who wish to purchase a set, APMEX has implemented a pre-registration and lottery type system to identify specific customers eligible to purchase the 2010 ATB coins from APMEX. Only the lottery winners will receive the email from APMEX with the offering and will be entitled to order one set of these coins.

If you do not receive an email from APMEX, you will not be eligible to purchase at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
