Title: [SOLD] 10x 1 ounce Canadian Gold Maple Leaf (.9999 fine)
Post by: DeathAndTaxes on June 04, 2013, 09:50:25 PM
UPDATE: Entire lot sold.

Selling ten (10) 1 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins (.9999 fine).  Coins are in individual air-tite protectors (the good kind with foam ring).  Coins were transfered from sealed mint tube into air-tites using cotton gloves.  Standard Royal Mint design.  Classic leaf on the back, and sexy lady on the front.  This is 2013 design so it has the microstamping of leaf and year.

Price:
$14,690 USD equivalent in Bitcoins @MtGox last http://btcticker.appspot.com/mtgox/14690usd.png
I reserve the right to raise the asking price if the spot price of gold rises more than 1% over $1400.00 per ounce.


Shipping:
USPS Priority Mail Flatrate: http://btcticker.appspot.com/mtgox/6.20usd.png
USPS Express Mail Flatrate: http://btcticker.appspot.com/mtgox/18.95usd.png
USPS Registered Priority Mail (with $15,000 insured value): http://btcticker.appspot.com/mtgox/62.15usd.png


Important note about shipping:
If you have a third party insurer which insures bullion and wish to use them I am willing to consider it.  If not shipped registered mail you accept liability for lost/stolen packages. I can ship requiring signature or not your choice.  I generally ship in flat rate envelopes as there are a couple million in the mail every year.  Nondescript and boring.  I can get a quote for FedEx or UPS but the price will be higher.


Important note about insurance and registered mail:
The only way bullion can be insured is by Registered Mail or third party insurer. Standard USPS, UPS, and FedEX insurances specifically excludes bullion.  Registered mail does not have a bullion exclusion.  Express Mail can't be sent registered and Priority mail generally is ~ 2 days slower when sent registered.  Registered Mail must be picked up at Post Office, you will need ID matching the name on shipment, and you will need to sign.  Registered Mail doesn't require the contents of the shipment to be recorded only the value.  For full disclosure the registered price includes a $20 markup mainly because it is a complete pain in the ass.  Entire package needs to be covered in brown paper tape, have to hand deliver to post office, wait in line, etc.  

 
Escrow:
Honestly I don't think you need escrow given my trading history both (personally and running TC, LLC) but then again I guess that is what a scammer would say.  If one wants to use escrow the terms are:
* Sale price is 1% higher due to my risk.  You cover all escrow fees.
* Shipment must be sent by registered mail OR adult restricted signature (you will need ID to sign).
* Escrow agent must be someone I trust.  John K is the only name that comes to mind at the moment.


Other:
Please no low balls offers.  I am not desperate to sell.   Would prefer to sell bulk to single seller.  If no offers in 48 hours will consider selling them individually.  Bitcoins only  (what did you think you were on fiatcointalk?).

It certainly is! Good luck with the sale - gold is so expensive though, I see why they call it precious metal. I wish i had the BTC for one - they look lovely.

On a 'funny' note, you have 9999 posts selling .9999 gold.

This is a really nice set of coins. I would be interested in one if you choose to sell that way. If not maybe others would be interested in a group buy?
