Have any of you ever done business with this company selling silver rounds?

Any opinions on this design from you Ag experts?

They say there are delays on the website. Are you saying that the turnaround time is greater than what they are claiming? Are you speaking from personal experience? And why the heck are you still awake?

Look at the premiums their products sell at.

I'm still awake because I don't have to wake up until noon. :D

No personal experience with their turnaround time, but there's some pretty good rants over at BS...including one where they showed a video shredding a bunch of customer's checks for canceled orders without blanking out the account info. :shock:

It's a young company that's made some bonehead mistakes, but they do have some great products with flip potential. Just be careful dealing with them, and don't count on your order showing up on time until they've proven otherwise.

These are nothing more than generic silver rounds that will be selling for spot + $1 after the fad has ended. I'll give it to them for designing a nice looking round, but at SAE premiums? May not be bad for a quick flip while we're in the midst of the fad, but certainly not a good choice for a long term bullion investment.

Those are going for stupid money on e-bay! I knew I should have bought some of those death and debt rounds. They would have been a flipping good time.

thanks Shinn, for showing me this.....its a swell design...its great, the problem i have with it all, is that it politicizes silver ownership, and makes a really loud statement, in an enviroment where loud and out there statements, might not be the wisest course of action.

just in itself, thinking and MOVING in a post dollar mode, stacking silver, IS a political statement, albeit a quiet statement, a quiet rebellion, its almost as if we were all given fighter/bomber jet aircraft, and a target 750 kms away...my aircraft would be either a F-111, or that beauty the F-4 Phantom, and on my flight plan, i'm hugging the terrain. Sure it keeps you hyper aware, but i want to zip in, below radar coverage, to the target. no more than 250 ft off the ground.

these coins?...i applaud the message, give a hearty amen, and let others buy them and wait 3 weeks, but i guess i'm an ole skool square, who like ASE's and rolls of 90% American coinage.

I ordered mine yesterday and got a free copper round to boot. It seems he was having press issues and some other minting issue. I received the first two releases in a fair amount of time. A Proof round (I bought to flip on Ebay) has been on order since 12/14/12 but I got the DC# and should have that tomorrow. As generic rounds go, I could do alot worse.

Someone I know (you!) said we need to be like coyotes going forward. I agree. Just like the idea of flipping these coins on ebay.

Hey is that the French flag on the tail of that jet?

We'll that's an Aussie flag on the tail, plus the USAF and RAAF were the only Air Forces, to my knowledge, to use them.

They're pretty much gone now. One of the most awesome sights I've ever seen was a sqaudron of f-111s taking off at night.

They also used to do this "dump and burn" thing. When I was at the USAFA there would be fly bys occasionally. The damn things looked like they were exploding!

I bought the debt and death round, they had design/production issues, it took a long time for delivery.

I'm still waiting for my slave queen to show up too.

I might buy the freedom girl, I really like the other ones with the skulls though.

There is potential for a quick flip but I'm keeping mine. :)

PLEASE FORGIVE me if it seems like i'm "hijacking" the thread, but Thogey and Shinn, i cant resist......there's nothing more i love than flight in warbirds.....just talking about combat aircraft, there's aircraft i LOVE, and aircraft i loathe.....anything russian or chinese, i loathe, loathe MIGS, Su's, and the Chinese J-series.

my love affair with the Phantom was as a teenager in Korea, laying in bunk, say 0200, and hearing a pair of F-4's take off for a night CAP, always made me feel safe....i'd watch guys get in F-111's, take off, and feel envy. (i failed that light discernment test, thats why the Navy put me in Korean language school, i wanted to drive P-3's on ASW missions....for a sailor, enemy subs are the greatest threat, and i wanted to be one of the guys that hunted them)

i LOVE the B-1...The Bone....i know, supposedly it was a big cluster-f, cost overruns, etc but in the early days after nine eleven, i noticed our paramil's, called in the B-1's to gank the haji's, so....not bad.

here's a couple of vid's for you guys, the first is a amatuer filmed take off and fly by.....i posted it, coz you can admire the lines of this airframe....its got the most bluff beautiful lines, i think i ever seen on an aircraft...they're perfect, and the second vid is a real good mini doc, i think ya'll will enjoy.....okay lets go back to the thread! (lol...sorry)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPrQcT6U_F0 take off and fly by

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G48i6SErbd0 mini doc....REALLY good stuff, not boring.

now...about that Freedom Girl.........

Great looking rounds. I usually only get an ounce or two at a time, so I don't mind picking up random things here and there - variety is the spice of life. I may have to give them a try and pick one up.

ive ordered a few of each and been pleased with the final product

i ordered my slave queens on the 1st and just received today

of course they put the check through as soon as they got it :)

shipping is high for just a couple rounds

like others have already said, i'd be cautious with a large order...

I've placed five orders with them and yes, they take FOREVER to be delivered. The most I have waited is 30 days and it looks like the coins I'm waiting on now will be longer than the. I was just going to keep them but I eventually broke down and sold half of them and am now only buying them to flip them so I can double my silver stack. that's the only silver I have ever sold. I think I will buy a lot of the freedom girl. I will sell half when I get it and sell the other half in a couple years. I tend to agree that these are generic round and right now a fad but at the end of the day they are only 2.99 above spot so it's really no big deal.
