********************
This isn't as good a price as silver rounds (like PanAms), but Eagles have some collectible value, and are pretty. The 25 cent discount is less that 2% at today's price, and the 50 cent discount for 500 is double that.

Any interest in going in together on 500 eagles, for about $7400 (today's price: $14.74 each)? I could do about 50.

Eh, I'm at least a month away from making any more purchases of that size.

[Dreepa]

I would take 10.

[PowerPenguin]

Is anyone here interested in platinum? BTW, dreepa, I gave the pro liberty baby bumper-sticker to my cousin

[mappchik]

I know we'd take some of the silver. Will have to discuss how many though.

Initial guesstimate would be 25, but it could be higher.

[porcupine kate]

I'd love to get 20 of them if possible.

[PowerPenguin]

I'm selling an ounce of Au and an ounce of Palladium tomorrow in order to finance my laptop buying habit (if you can call my second purchase ever a habit). Who says you can't buy things with metals? 8-)

We're up to 105 ounces. If we can't get to 500 in a few weeks, would those of you who chimed in want to purchase at the higher price for 60-499? Since I started the thread two trading days ago, silver is up (because the dollar is down) 31 cents, more than the discount!

I don't want to make you cry after getting free.

The 500+ discount makes them cheaper than maple leafs, and less than a dollar over generic rounds. I guess I prefer US silver to US ferns.

[porcupine kate]

If I have a job lined up by the end of the week I can buy more of them.  I'm still interested at the higher rate.

[Lloyd Danforth]

Is there a reason to not buy the generic rounds at 'less' than a dollar cheaper?  Why not pool our funds to get Generic at the cheaper price?

I want cheaper.... also Lloyd's comment in this thread means he is in for 20.

Here are Eagles:


Here are Pan Ams:


Here are NWT Mints:


I have all three, but do think the Eagles look the best, and have more brand identity

I also like A-Marks, which were minted in the 80s
