2011 Eagle for $4.94

[Aqualung48]

I was at Amazon recently to buy an unusual part for my wireless microphone system. At checkout they offered an Amazon Mastercard with a $40.00 credit on my next purchase if approved. A couple days later I got the approval, so I ordered this 2011 American Silver Eagle, BU for $39.95 + $4.99 shipping through Amazon's website. The coin came from Eastern Numismatics, Inc. So my net cost for this coin, after the $40.00 credit on that purchase was $4.94. I have used Amazon enough in the past to possibly keep this card and use it from time to time if they offer special deals. It is a no fee card, so if I don't use it, it was still worth it to get the Eagle at $26.00 below spot. I had a little difficulty getting the lighting right for this close up of the coin. I did it without a flash, with the camera set to super macro. The flash kept obliterating the fine details of the coin.

That is still one of the most beautiful coin designs ever.

Nice deal!

I agree, the walking liberty imprint is fabulous!

The engraving on the ASE is the finest I have seen on coins. It is much finer with more detail, than the AGE. While I would rather have the AGE due to its 55x value compared the the ASE, the ASE coin is more beautiful. I have shared this beauty over the years, giving them away as gifts and tokens of appreciation.

Ah man, crap. I thought this was a buy it now thread.

It is, if you want to open an Amazon Mastercard account. Anyone else try shopping at Amazon lately and get the same offer? I got the offer on 11/7 and then ordered this eagle on the 15th. Had I waited a few days, I might have had something of the $40.00 credit left over.
