Enjoy guys!

[WhyKnow]

Wow, that is a good price. THink it will get even better?

[Scorpio]

I already went over and bought some,

[mtnclimberjim]

Thanks, I just ordered a few.

[Merlin]

To get the best price you have to order 20. And since I really can't afford to buy 40 ounces of silver today, I ordered 20 of the Constitution rounds, which are very special. Hopefully, a month or two from now, the 2011 Bulls will still be available.

I think you should be safe in waiting a couple months.. Looks like they started both with 5000.

Is this a hidden GIM link? Or can commonfolk find these?

[Argentium]

Got a few of each, I was in a buying mood tonight with Provident, so I figured, "what the hell...".First AMPEX order I've made for a long time, probably going on 2 years ago.

[Ragnarok]

LOVE the Constitution rounds. Real money that comes with a built-in education, that's hard to beat.
With the current dip I will be ordering more than what I planned. Some will be given as gifts to help spread the knowing. I do however wish that they could have been dated somehow. Oh, well, maybe next year of issue!

Thanks, Scorpio, for seeing this thing through!

O.K., no super secret GIM number, you just need to be a GIM member/guest to have access to the link, nice, real nice.

You can also get the link via an Internet search. Google GIM silver rounds and you'll get a link to APMEX.

[Pyramid]

Anyone receive the 2011 GIM rounds yet?
I'm ready to make a purchase, but am just wondering whether these are packaged in sheets like the 2009's or if they come in tubes if you order 20+. Thank you.

[southfork]

Scorpio, could you call comex and ask them to lower the price of silver to 20.00 for a day so we can load up on these? Thanking you in advance for your time and considerations in this matter.

The point being, and let me be clear, unless you know about us (GIM), you'll never get the rounds, how is that getting the word out?

I guess we (GIM) are worthy enough to run their banner ad (to entice members and guests to visit), but we just don't rate high enough to actually list the rounds and promote us.

[Rcpb2000]

Still waiting on my order. I ordered on the 16th and it is still sitting in the "B Vault."

[Scorpio]

actually, you got that wrong,

it was put up for us to get first dibs on all we want,

then it will go public,

so you miss the point, they were trying to show favoritism to us..........

Back in 2008 I was buying gold and silver from apmex. While shopping I found a cool round with a bull on it and bought some. As soon as my round got home I was on GOLDISMONEY.INFO and am now a more intelligent man because of it. Was the best advertising for the site ever. Since then I have also brought other people to the board.

[Argentium]

I got mine 2 days ago, very nice rounds. I guess there was no room on the Constitution round for the year minted? If Ag keeps dropping, I may order more Bulls.

At about $2 FRN above spot Ag, the price gets better every day!


Come on $25!

[rampage]

Just purchased 10 bulls for 319.65 shipped!! I will purchase 10 more if silver drops to 25

[Scorpio]

already bought 30 of each,

will add to it now on the drop,

Keep Stackin'

I've bought 20 of each so far. But now, with the dip, I'd like to buy a gold American eagle. I'm going to try to purchase the eagle locally with cash. Wish me luck.

[EO 11110]

bought a roll tonight

i would like to echo the question - tube or sheet? anyone know?

great price at 28.xx

[JoBob]

Just ordered 20 Constitution rounds for $578.60, shipped.

Everyone wait a few days and they will be cheaper.....

Sheets+++++

[Merlin]

Not to hijack the thread, but my local dealer will part with his gold American eagles for spot plus $85. Today, APMEX has a 24 hour special for spot plus $75. But with them, I pay shipping. And there is the paper trail. My local dealer will do a cash and carry deal that sounds good to me

If the silver price stays depressed, I'll be back to buy more GIM rounds.

[Merlin]

Well, I'm back in for another 20 each of the Constitution and Bull Rounds. I'm just an unabashed fan of silver. And I especially like the GIM2 variety.

My precious metals purchasing philosophy, by the way, is "Buy gold and silver when you're able; Sell gold and silver when you must."

[Ragnarok]

Got mine today, they are excellent quality rounds!

"it was put up for us to get first dibs on all we want, then it will go public,

We should declare First Strike for all rounds ordered before they go public.

Doesn't look like there was much interest in these this time around - only about 300 of each got sold? I knew that APMEX had lost a lot of the GIM crowd over the years but I thought they would be able to sell a few more of these - especially with all of the input into the design.

If true, especially disappointing since I bought 40 of each myself. I think people are unwilling/unable to pony up the $$$ at these silver prices. I say, if you have the FRNs, spend them on these beautiful silver rounds.

APMEX will make them available to everyone and they'll vanish soon enough.

[newmisty]

Due to a flood of purchases this season, I was only able to pick up a couple of each.Hopefully we can get them in the hands of non gimers. That's afterall exactly how I found this place. Was buying a few things at apmex and was attracted by a silver round with a bull on it. Got it home and immediately went online to find out more and registered on GIM 1 about a month later when the window opened.

A few years ago I was a regular customer of APMEX, and enjoyed the popcorn at Christmas (the last time I bought from APMEX was during that limbo time between popcorn shipping and New Years, so I didn't get any popcorn even though I bought a monster box), but lately I find my fishing weights are available for a little less elsewhere. I've been loading up latley for the silver's trip to $50 again and will seriously consider these.

True and true Merlin. I was just looking at this a couple days ago and only ~400 of the Constitution rounds and ~300 of the Bull rounds were sold, so you alone have accounted for ~11% of the sales volume. I did my (small) part and bought 20+ and would have bought more if they were packaged in tubes instead of those brittle sheets that are not overly storage-friendly. Pretty and shiny indeed and the price was GIM-friendly. Once they are released to the public, they will dissappear in hours/days if the premium is attractive based on past tendencies.

[Ironhorse]

I received my order a while back on that last good dip in silver price. Picked up some of each type as I have done whenever they have been offered in the passed. The Bull is a great design and even non-GIMers that I have showed it to like it. The Minute man is a classic, but the Constitution round, while a good idea on paper did not meet my expectations. Don't get me wrong, the message is great, but in my opinion, there are just too many words on it and they are kind of hard to read. Also, no date is also kind of a bummer. Didn't notice that when the initial design was put up. Guess the old saying a picture is worth a thousand words comes to mind here for me.

There was quite a bit of input for various designs for this round. More than I remember on the old GIM when there was talk of a new die. I wasn't real sure how we even landed on the constitution design actually. Looking back at the design thread, it doesn't really seem to me that there was any more support for that design than there was for many of the others. I guess someone had to make a decision and it is done. I think this round will not have the appeal outside of GIM that the other two designs have had in the past which is disappointing because a new design does not seem to come around very often and it does take a lot of effort on many peoples part. Time will tell though.

[gringott]

I got one of each to see what I liked. The Constitution round does seem too busy, but the idea behind it is the most appealing to me so who knows.

I will pick up 20 next dip.

[Scorpio]

re the artwork,

I made a command decision that turned out to be perfect on timing, all luck of course,

we had to move or forget it for awhile,

moved on the constitution rounds by comments received, as to the who and what on it,

they look really good to me, but to each his own

agreed on the date, would have been a good idea, but no one thought of it at the time,

first time thru, we had a lot of talented people sending in hard artwork, so we had a lot of choices,

this time thru, not so much,


as for quantities,

we are very close to what my original projections were for sales vs current price vs what we could expect to sell,

I originally figured we would sell 3-350 units of each, and probably a max of 750

Apmex took it on themselves to order these large quantities as they liked them also and knew they could sell them,

last time we did this, price/unit was somewhere around $9 a piece or something, so at about $30 each, now $35 everything changes

they are still a bargain at only 1.49 over

[Merlin]

agreed on the date, would have been a good idea, but no one thought of it at the time...

So you fix it in the future, and all Constitution rounds from 2011 can be identified by the lack of a date. I don't have a problem with it. Have I said, "Thank you, Scorpio for getting the job done."? Good work!

I gave away about 10 of the 2009 GIM rounds, to friends and family. If I buy more of the current mintage, I plan to do the same.

That's a great idea, I need to send some of these to my Tea Party relatives! They'd love 'em, but so far haven't been able to "justify" spending money on extravagent things like silver and gold. I'm trying to edjucate them

Go ahead and gift them with real money. You can't take it with you.

[skyvike]

I just went and bought a few of each, as is my wanton custom.

Anybody else forget?

[WhyKnow]

Good time to pick some up.

Deal is done no more GIM rounds.

[Scorpio]

have to go snoopin' around over there and see if I can find them,

[Scorpio]

hey, the thing has been up there for months,

totally avail to members only at a very small premium, small lots

they paid for the dies, paid for shipping, paid for the silver up front, etc,

I would say they treated us absolutely right,

and considering we were able to get a x over spot instead of the old way of fixed price,

I was real happy with how it played out,

Not saying different scorp, we were treated well with initial buys, just making an observation that the current price is a bit lofty for whats considered generic silver.

Agree 100%. Pretty pathetic that GIM'ers only acquired 1000 of these beautiful rounds at a great price. Some people talk the talk, but evidently there are much fewer that walk the walk and put their fiat where their piehole is. Don't blame me, I did my part and got a couple dozen which cut into my gold budget.
