Cash price, plus $6 shipping. Using a credit card, add another couple bucks and you’re paying $40 for a BU Eagle.

On eBay, same thing basically. About $40 per coin with free freight.

At a coin shop, you’ll pay around $37 per coin. Close to a 30% premium.

Two years ago, the premium on an ASE was around 10%. Less if you had a friendly dealer.

I don’t feel comfortable carrying a wad of benjamins into a coin shop and then carrying a monster box of ASE’s out of the coin shop. Too many opportunities to get robbed by thugs casing out the coin shop. Even if you CCW, you could still get involved in a shootout. No such worries when I wire the money to Provident and Fedex delivers the coins to my door.
