Selling Silver and Gold Bullion at Low Prices! Updated 10/3/16

[SaltySpitoon]

Having coins created isn't all that difficult or expensive. Selling at $5 over spot wouldn't be overly profitable, but it would be feasible. The upfront costs are $350-500 for the dies, the blanks themselves, and the design cost.

You dont need a press. All you need to send your die to "mint" company and raw silver material

Thats the lame way to do it. I want to actually mint the coins myself so I can hand number the pieces and such.

I see that US shipping is free.

What would it cost for shipping one of those MS69 2013 Panda's to the UK?

Thanks in advance

About $4 for first class mail. I believe that comes with tracking to some extent though I'd have to go through the shipping label ordering process to be sure. Priority is around $30 and I know that would come with tracking, though I probably wouldn't recommend that option.

Wait, are you selling the rest in that ^^ series, or just the kraken?

Aye! Well, then you can just shove off, and stop teasing us jerkasses, eh?!

All prices/quantities updated. AMarks now shipping in single coin increments rather than full 20 oz rolls. Of course, you can still buy 20 oz rolls!

Nice collection you got there Mr Spitoon. Do you turn into a skeleton when the moon shines on you? 

Kidding aside, have you shipped overseas, like somewhere in the Philippines? I want to buy some of them coins for my collection. I do have a package forwarder but i have to fill a box before it gets shipped or else i pay full premium for it.

I may have shipped to the Philippines once or twice, but I don't recall in particular. I have shipped to various countries overseas a multitude of times though. The only countries that I know of that I won't ship to, are Australia and Germany (as well as countries with US trade embargoes). I'd have to double check the Philippines' laws in particular on the importation of metals but it shouldn't be an issue. Typically speaking, if you are over a certain $ value threshold, customs will impose some VAT, the value of which changes on a country by country basis. I've never had any packages go missing, however because tracking stops updating for me once the package leaves the country, should any issue happen, I wouldn't be able to help.

One additional condition of shipping out of the country that doesn't apply to any orders placed from the US, is I need a phone number and email address. No I wont call you, but in case customs needs to contact you. Bad things happen if I don't provide contact info for the package recipient.

And one last piece of information. I declare package value at spot value. I figure if a package goes missing, insurance will only cover the spot value of metals, so its fair that I declare the package value at what the post office values the package at. I will not however falsify any information, though I will try and downplay the contents in the description, often as "Collectable Coins" to try and prevent theft.

PS: The moon skeleton pirates are a couple of pay grades above me, right now its only LED flash lights that turn me into a skeleton.

Here is quote from USPS regarding shipping items to Philippines:

Prohibitions for Shipping to Philippines

Coffee in any form.  
Coins; currency notes or securities of any kind payable to bearer; traveler's checks; platinum, gold, or silver (whether manufactured or not); precious stones; or other valuable articles.
Liquids, easily liquefiable items, and glass or similarly fragile articles.
Firearms and weapons and parts thereof; ammunition.  
Gambling devices.  
Lottery tickets, circulars, or advertisements relating to lotteries.  
Perishable infectious biological substances.  
Perishable noninfectious biological substances.  
Radioactive materials.

Restrictions for Shipping to Philippines

No list furnished.

I've got a shipping software that elaborates on all of the legal breakdowns for each country. The USPS website kind of puts a blanket statement out, but it is often not straightforward. It may say that its flat out prohibited right there, but there may just be restrictions. Things like, how much you can send, what shipping service you need to use, etc.

Italy for example, any package containing metals over $100 must be shipped via priority mail and be manufactured in a given list of countries, etc etc. It very well could be not allowed, but that wasn't the case last I heard.


*edit* You are correct, I cannot ship to the Philippines, it is an absolute prohibition, not a restricted item.

So no, I'm unable to ship to the Philippines, sorry about that. On the upside, I can now spell Philippines.

I want a Kraken coin, but also 1 of each of the others. I can wait until you list them to save on shipping I suppose....or you can just sell me them now

I do intend on getting more of the others if I can find them. My last Kraken order bought out the entire stock from two rather large bullion dealers. Hopefully I can still find the others. The Elemetal privateer series is the one I don't mind if anyone purchases or not, because I'd be happy to hoard them myself.

From the picture I posted a couple of days ago, I am missing the first of the set, the Privateer. I was going to order a couple, but they are around 400% spot price. Not as pretty as the Kraken and Siren in my opinion, but theres no way this isn't a popular set. Finding them once they are completely sold out will be hell methinks.

Do you have any more or think about getting more of the SBSS coins? . Would like to collect the series.

The ones I'm looking at ordering next are the Sic Semper Tyrannus SBSS rounds


SBSS are typically kind of low mintage, so its hard to find a deal on them using my regular tricks. Most of my purchases are just based on opportunity, so I hope that I'll get more soon, but there's never any guarantee.

Allright, let me know once you have those as I would love to get a few

OK, so what all coins will you sell me right now? I will be collecting that entire set for sure since they look so nice and all.

I suppose it wasn't nice of me to post the teaser of my current set. I just thought they would make a nice picture together. The Krakens are the only ones I'm selling at the moment.

That said, I'm glad people are getting into the Privateer series, they are such nice looking rounds, and frankly the price point isn't too bad for how nice they are.

Awww, too bad. Guess ill have to schedule a buy whenever I visit the US and stay there for at least a week or two for the packages to come in. I would be able to hand carry those and declare them as my personal collection when I enter the Philippines.

But hey, thanks for looking into it Mr. minerjones and Mr. Spitoon.

You definitely should stay in US at least a week or two, but if you have a limited time just pay $10 more and get your package in two days
Pay more and it will be delivered overnight

There are also services in New York which ship to Philippines. One dude purchased from me a photo lens. So I ship to NY and they ship to Philippines. Check with them on shipping of silver.
