Very rapid delivery, came 2 days faster than expected. Coin is in perfect condition- no smudges, no scratches, NOTHING. It's safe to say that this seller is more trustworthy than anyone on eBay.

My order from Canada was perfect in every way.
Bonus; he's a nice guy to deal with.

BitcoinMint was extremely professional, the shipping was super fast, communication could not be any better. I highly recommend this place for coin purchases and I surely will be back to buy more of them myself!

I'm sending this short e-mail to thank you for your prompt service. I sent Bitcoins for one silver eagle on the 28th Nov. and it arrived today! This is the best thing I've bought with Bitcoins yet.
Thank you again, sincerely,
Bruce

I would suggest BitcoinMint, it took a week to receive my coins and he communicates very well.

My shiny Eagle arrived today, nice and quick especially considering the time of year.
I am very happy with my purchase ;D
Awesome coin, thank you very much :D

The coin is very nice, thanks!

I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase and would love to do business again!

Got my shipment today.  Very nice packaging, the coins are in mint condition.  BitcoinMint.US is fantastic.  Great customer service.

It was a pleasure doing business with you, and I look forward to the next time.  Thank you again!

Just wanted to let everyone know BitCoinMint.us is great to do business with. I ordered something from Coinabul.com on 3/13/12 and have yet to receive it. I order from from BitCoinmint.us on 3/27/12 and got the item 4/2/12 and he threw in a free 1g Silver coin. I have also contacted him directly via email and ordered another 20 Copper 1oz coins from him and he gave me a break on shipping. My advice if you are looking for a reputable seller for gold, silver, and other precious metal coins BitCoinMint.us is the way to go.

Best online merchant ever! two orders so far, both shipped very fast! last one was placed morning of 4/5, recieved 4/7! Holy catfish, Andy! Recommended merchant! Thank you!

It would help if you put pricing on the site.

Are the chinese pandas really worth a ~30% markup on spot price?

Or are these limited edition coins.

APMEX.com's prices are also a little deceptive because they charge more than 3x as much as I do for shipping.

I use www.bit-pay.com and although I have run into a few issues, their staff quickly looks into and resolves any problems.  I would recommend them.

It is available to anyone that accepts bitcoins. You only need a US tax ID if you are accepting dollars.

I'm not a wordpress fan. My coins are also "in stock" and not ordered after a sale, so spot price isn't really relevant to my daily sales price.

My goal is to offer the most simple, straightforward, and cheapest way to get bitcoins converted to silver.

Please explain why you charge $100 to ship a roll of eagles???    ???

Thank you for your question, it is one I get a lot in emails.  This is a limitation in the bit-pay BTC processing software I use.  [...] typically users just PM me and we handle larger deals that way.  I like the personal touch [...] if you contact me via email or PM on these forums, we can work out a price...

please accept my apologies for any rude 'tone' that may have been construed.

I don't receive many requests for gold, so I'm not sure it will be worth me carrying it as a product.  However, I may grab a couple 1/10 oz gold and platinum coins next time I restock so customers have the option.  If you want gold or platinum sooner, just PM me with what you want and I can special order it, shipped to you directly from my supplier.

No information from seller as to the acceptance of the order or shipping. After processing the Bit-Pay order your sitting there wondering if you've been scammed or your order will show up. Emails went unanswered which I won't totally condemn considering coin came in within 3 days and not everyone checks emails daily but a business should.

Thank you for the feedback.

It sounds as if you didn't have a very good experience.  I apologize.  Please check your spam filter so you can see that no email went unanswered, and in fact all inquiries both via email and forum PMs were responded to within minutes.

Other than the email problem which we haven't worked out yet I was not unhappy with the purchase and as I said would purchase again.

probably dumb question, but is the number at the end, like on the copper its x3, is that how many is left or how many you get with an order?

The x3 is how many coins you get with the order.  Copper is currently x4.   ;)

Did you ever get to the bottom of this?  I wouldn't mind hearing what the issue was.   :)

Interesting one here. I've just sent part of my coin collection off for sale (to upgrade my mining operation with a load of FPGAs). Regarding US silver Eagles, I had 120 (i.e. 6 tubes) and sent two tubes off, leaving four untouched tubes.

My Eagles are all 2011 year, and were bought from a reputable dealer in Europe (I've bought most of my coins from them). They arrived sealed in their 'TREASURY UNITED STATES MINT' green-lid tubes - so for the coins to be circulated would have required a bit of subterfuge. Used tubes tend to be obvious - I believe the material is polypropylene or low density polyethylene as it picks up dents and scratches very easily. My tubes arrived in 'mint' condition, so I take it as an assumption that all my 2011 Eagles are *uncirculated* condition.

Now on to the coin - because this 'ding in the gown near the back foot' rang a LARGE bell in my mind. If you're referring to the area around where the rear foot meets the 'ground', which looks like the coin edge has been impacted, causing a 'warp' - this is just the design and caught me off guard when I first bought American Eagles. You can assure yourself that the coin hasn't caught an edge by examining the circularity of the outer ring.

If you're referring to the tiny 'snakebite' scratch on the 'material' of the gown, then that looks like a minor handling error on removal from tubes. Pure silver coins are soft and hard to keep 'BU' when not individually encapsulated from the Mint (China and Australia send theirs out like this and there's no excuse for a scratched Panda or Koala, for example). IME, US Silver Eagles have the most vertical space in their full tubes (compared to the 25-coin Maple tube, or the 20-coin Philharmonic tube), and since there are no protective spacers between each coin in the tube, simply shaking the tube up and down (especially with a bit of twist to cause rotation) will result in the coins rubbing against each other, causing minor scratches.

Even worse are Canadian Maples - I bought a sealed tube straight out of a Monster box, bunged it in my safe without opening it, and under a year later opened the tube to find the coins were covered in white 'milk' corrosion. Apparently this is 'normal' for Maples - but they are of a higher purity (.9999 silver) than most others. I've an Andean Cat (Royal Silver, .99999 purity, highest available IIRC) which has remained perfectly shiny.

So to conclude, even untouched, uncirculated silver coins, held in stock by a dealer in a safe with dehumidification packs alongside (like my small collection, though I'm no dealer), can end up deteriorating if left in their Mint tubes. If you order less than a full tube, the dealer MUST by definition remove the coins from the tube and re-package, and it's VERY easy to make tiny handling marks. This doesn't constitute 'circulation' and your coins will be re-sellable as 'uncirculated'. The coins can pick up 'dings' even *without* handling, if the tubes are rattled around in transit.

On top of this, we're talking *bullion* coins here - not proofs. Bullion coins get the same resale value even when circulated and knocked about. It's about the silver, not the scratches - as long as they weigh in OK then you'll be fine. It sounds like you'd prefer a Proof coin. Get a Panda - they come from the Mint in a slightly convex plastic capsule, have beautiful designs, and whilst not technically 'proof' coins, they're up to the standard of the bloody Royal Mint's so-called overpriced 'proofs' (I'm English and have received some shoddy examples - one being of a 2,500 limited mintage!)...


US Eagles aren't my favourite coin design - for some reason the Mexicans make my favourite coins of all time (the silver Liberdad is beautiful, and the gold 20 Peso's Aztec calendar is awesome) - and after reading this, I've opened all my Eagle tubes to check them... two out of four are showing white 'milk' on the reeded edges :(

Anyone know how to remove the 'milk' without removing silver or making the coin unsellable? The dealers are well aware of the problem with Maples but I was surprised to see the milk on some of my Eagles. Since the Mexican mint send their Libertads out in crappy cardboard tubes, I bought a load of Air-Tites and encapsulated each and every one of them (I love Libertads) - they have remained unsullied.

However, if I'm considering selling some of the Eagles individually on eBay or here for Bitcoins, my customers are going to be pretty pissed off to receive coins with white 'milk' on them - regardless of normality.

Any experts here know the answer? Is the usual practice a simple dip in silver cleaning solution, followed by a thorough rinse and dry with microfibre cloth? I was told never to handle my coins without gloves, but untouched silver coins in sealed tubes *still* deteriorate...
