Thanks.

But may also want to just point out to others that it is "limit 1" for a set of 8 $1 coins so up to you whether you want to end up on their mailing list ...

I'm all in - 8 down and 74,993 to go to beat my daily record!

Eat your heart out Ben Bernanke! At least Littleton knows how to properly market your Pelosi Pennies.

Be careful, everyone. Make sure you can float the $8 while you wait for the coins to arrive. Don't get in over your head.

This one is a money-making deal, because you get a 2010 P&D Lincoln Head Cent Set, Uncirculated, MS60 for free with your order!! Wow!!

On a serious note, when you order these, you then get further coins sent to you "on approval" that you will have to cancel or send back.

In addition to your special limited-time offer, you'll also receive our fully illustrated catalog, plus other fascinating selections from our Free Examination Coins-on-Approval Service, from which you may purchase any or none of the coins – return balance in 15 days – with option to cancel at any time.

The only thing that could have improved the old mint was this feature

If only they had automatically refilled the orders every 10 days and sent it to you as long as the card had a sufficient credit line available .....
None of that making up 10 accounts for family members and keeping spreadsheets and logs...

The approval coins definitely cost more than face value.

Sure, I'll happily swap some C$1 coins at US$1 each if we're ever in the same town (usually YUL or ORD)! Similar deal for C$2 coins at US$2 each!

Uh oh, Office Depot has issued a memo to remove all dollar coins from its racks. Seems some blogger spilled the beans again with a picture of him buying dollar coins using a Vanilla card and killed this deal.
