special offer

In my credit card statement there was an offer to buy a 2005 American Eagle Silver Dollar at cost, $8.95. In addition, they would throw in an uncirculated, newly designed 2004 Jefferson Nickel, absolutely free.

At first I was skeptical because it seemed full of marketing hype, but when I looked online, the lowest price I could find was $8.58 plus shipping, and this deal has free shipping.

In the end, it looks like a good deal. I checked out their site, and they have some gift ideas that might come in handy for your Christmas shopping.

If you have anyone on your list who might like to get involved in coin collecting, getting them a Redbook and a grab bag (here’s a more expensive one) may be all they need to open their eyes to the joys of coin collecting.
